Best Bike Rack for Electra Townie With Fenders on 2019 Jeep Cherokee
Question:
What hitch carrier would you recommend for the above bike on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee? We plan to have a 2inch hitch installed and are looking for easy loading for retirees with easy car hatchback access with two bikes loaded. Thanks so much!

The first thing you need to select is a trailer hitch and for your 2019 Jeep Cherokee I recommend the Curt # C13171 because it is simple to install while giving you plenty of clearance to use a bike rack. This hitch does have a visible crosstube so if having a hidden crosstube (where only the receiver is visible) is something you would rather have you will need the Curt # C13395.
The best bike rack for you is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 because it is by far the simplest bike rack to use for loading and unloading bikes, will work with bikes that have fenders and offers a plethora of convenience features.
It comes with an aluminum ramp so you can easily load your Electra Townie; it also uses padded clamps as well and wheel straps to secure any style of bike, including one with fenders and a step-through frame. I have added a photo for you that a customer sent in which shows the EasyFold XT 2 # TH903202 carrying a bike with a step-through frame and dual fenders.
The EasyFold XT, which has a 65 lb per bike weight capacity, offers a lot of quality-of-life features that make it the most effortless bike rack on the market to use. It allows for simple access to your '19 Cherokee's rear cargo area via a foot lever that you can press to tilt the rack down, tightens in your hitch with the twist of a knob, and the aforementioned padded clamps uses knobs that click when they are securely around your bike's frame.
This bike rack also gives you security with integrated locks in the clamps that secure your bikes to the rack and a lock in the knob that secures the rack to your Cherokee's hitch.
The EasyFold XT # TH903202, true to its name, completely folds up and has wheels and a handle so once you remove it from your Jeep it is simple to store.
I have added links to a couple of video reivews of this rack for you to check out as well.
