2021 Jeep Renegade
Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.

Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.

The rack is great just what I was looking for.
The only issue I see is the straps are plastic so after using them for a little bit they broke. I had to order replacements. Let’s see how much time they last!
by: BillGBW07/03/2022
Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!

Best bike rack ever
by: David 07/17/2021
The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.

- Will the Thule Platform Bike Rack Fit on a 2002 Subaru ForesterI checked the Thule fit guide an they do recommend the Thule OutWay, # TH65JV, for your 2002 Subaru Forester. I recently had a chance to install the OutWay on a vehicle and I really liked the adjustability of the rack. There is no need for an adapter bar for bikes with no horizontal cross tube and the wheel trays can be adjusted so that just about any two styles of bikes can be carried. The only drawback to this rack is that it is pretty heavy for a trunk mount option and some of our...
view full answer... - Will Full Sized and Kid Sized Bikes Fit on Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike RackThe Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV has a clamping system to secure the bikes that is adjustable along that U-shaped tube. The best way to see if your bikes will both fit okay on this rack is to stand them up next to each other and see if there will be enough room for that longer arm to reach through or around your larger mountain bike to reach the frame of your smaller mountain bike. I went ahead and did a test fit of a standard mountain bike and smaller 20"...

- Will Thule OutWay Platform Rack Fit a 2022 Nissan PathfinderI have a solution for you to carry 2 bikes with your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder but at this time (January 2022) Thule hasn't confirmed fitment of any trunk mount racks for your vehicle. They may list the OutWay # TH65JV as fitting in the future, but for now we will need to look at a different solution. For a trunk mount rack I recommend going with the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 which is a high quality bike rack that is easy to install as well as use. Another great thing about this rack is that...
view full answer... - Will the ThuleOutWay Platform Bike Rack # TH65JV Fit on a 2011 Mustang with Satellite AntennaThe Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, item # TH65JV, is recommended for your vehicle by the manufacturer, but my contact there said that they were not able to test vehicles with the satellite radio antenna, that you mentioned, on the trunk of the vehicle. You may experience issues with any of the truck mount racks that we carry, because of the antenna. Your best option would probably be to add a trailer hitch, like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24863, along...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for BMW 5-Series Carrying Cannondale Carbon Frame Road BikeA premium bicycle such as your Cannondale carbon frame road bike will indeed benefit from a bike rack that will not apply stress to its frame. A platform-type carrier that supports the bike at its wheels is one option and another is a wheel-mount type that suspends the bike from its wheels. The other consideration for choosing a bike rack is your vehicle. You want to choose a bike carrying option that will not stress or damage your vehicle. Bike racks vary considerably in their weight,...
view full answer... - Platform Trunk Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GTFor your 2013 Hyundai we do offer a trunk mounted platform bike rack that has been confirmed to fit. Check out the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV. As far as trunk mounted bike racks go this is one of the nicest ones around. Check out the review video I attached for more info. I would strongly recommend you stay under the weight capacity for this rack (33 lbs per bike) and clean the rear of your vehicle every time you install the rack on it.
view full answer... - Thule OutWay Platform or Hanging Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Toyota CamryI would recommend the Thule OutWay hanging rack part # TH45JV over the OutWay platform rack # TH65JV. The platform style OutWay is a bit heavier and in it's early versions had some issues with vehicles getting dented. They have since resolved that problem but still I tend to avoid recommending it. The # TH45JV though is by far the nicest option so I steer everyone towards it if they are considering it. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe platform version of the Thule OutWay # TH65JV, is not a fit for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee but I do have an excellent recommendation for you. Since the Jeep Grand Cherokee has that spoiler piece at the top of the hatch I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Rack # HRF2. It has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is put on it. I have linked a video showing how it works. It is also available in a 3-bike version # HRF2-3. If...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack For 2013 BMW X1 Without The Panoramic RoofI reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite, and there is not a hitch compatible with your non-panoramic roof 2013 BMW X1. For you to carry bikes, I recommend using a trunk mounted bike carrier like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH65JV which is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This bike rack carries 2 bikes similar to the platform bike racks you see in hitch mounts. It has the locks to deter theft and has road dampening technology built into the bike...
view full answer... - Looking for a Trunk Mounted Bike Rack to Fit 2013 Toyota Prius and 2013 VW Jetta SportsWagenMy favorite trunk mounted bike rack, the Thule OutWay # TH45JV, will fit both your 2013 Toyota Prius and also your 2013 VW Jetta Sportswagen. This rack holds two bikes and is not that heavy, weighing in at less than 19 lbs. The best part about this rack is the fact that it has a retractable cable system for attachment. The retractable cable system seems to hold up a bit better and the attachment cords that are coated to prevent any scratching damage to your vehicle retract into the carrier...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Ford Focus HatchbackI do have a solution for carrying bikes on your Focus but if the vehicle has a spoiler then it is a no fit situation because the rack cannot be safely installed on the vehicle. The retractable cables are actually much more secure and easier to use than straps. The combined weight the # TH65JV and 2 average weight bicycles could also cause bumper deformation. The safest way to carry bikes on your 2012 Ford Focus is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mount bike rack. For a trailer...
view full answer... - Will The Thule OutWay # TH65JV Fit My 2017 Prius V?The Thule Outway # TH65JV is not confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Prius V. That is the only trunk mounted platform rack option available. That being said, we do have what you need to be able to get a platform style rack for your Prius. You will need a hitch receiver # 306-X7192 and a rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR. Since it's a higher end bike, I don't like suggesting a hanging style rack, but if you are 100% set on not getting a hitch then you can get a trunk mounted...
view full answer... - Platform Trunk Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Subaru Outback WagonWe checked with Thule and the OutWay Platform part # TH65JV that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon so I would recommend it for you. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Kia SorentoI checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier # TH65JV has been confirmed to fit your 2011 Kia Sorento. Due to the weight of this rack and it's tendency to dent soft bumpers I think you would be better off getting the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack Part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation...
view full answer... - Do You Carry a Light Platform Bike Rack with A Threaded Hitch Pin that Wont Block the License PlateI have a solution for you. Every hitch rack will block the license plate to a certain extend with bikes loaded or when folded up. For a solution that does not involve a roof rack, I recommend the Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder for Bike Racks # Y02713. With the PlateMate, you will be able to attach your license plates to your bikes during transport. However, if you are open to trunk racks, the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV is an option that is both lighter...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Both a 2014 Buick Encore and 2014 Honda CR-VThe Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount rack is listed as a fit for the 2014 Buick Encore but not the 2014 Honda CR-V. I would not recommend this rack for those vehicles though because it is very heavy when loaded and will damage the vehicles. For a trunk mount bike rack that will fit both vehicles you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack, # HRF2. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
view full answer... - How does the ThuleOutWay Platform 2 Install on a 2014 Honda InsightIn the installation instructions of the Thule OutWay Platform 2 Bike Rack, # TH65JV, the upper support strap will connect in the gap at the front edge at the top of the hatch door. The clip should not have any contact with the glass in your hatch back door. The strap may contact the glass, but the actual mounting point will be at a body joint on your vehicle. However, Thule does state that when the carrier is mounted to your Honda you will not be able to use the rear wiper blade.

We do have some that will fit your 2017 Lexus ES 350. I recommend the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack - Trunk Mount # TH65JV which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. This rack attaches to the back of the vehicle using 2 straps. After the initial set up and installation all subsequent installs will get progressively easier and quicker as you become familiar with how the rack installs on your particular vehicle....
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2013 Buick LaCrosseAccording to Thule, their OutWay Platform Bike Rack, part # TH65JV is not a fit for your LaCrosse. Once the bikes are loaded on the rack, it would be heavy enough to damage the vehicle. However, Thule offers a 2 bike hanging version of the OutWay, part # TH45JV that is a fit for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse. This is the easiest rack to install and comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes. Any time a piece of equipment is in direct contact with the painted surface of a vehicle, the...

This trunk bike rack safely transports 2 bikes to your favorite spot. Securely mounts to the rear of your Jeep Grand Cherokee using the Fit Dial adjustment system and multiple straps. Anti-sway cradles hold bikes by the frame and reduce movement while driving. If you will only be carrying your Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp, you would need an additional cable lock to lock to the bike rack due to the...

- Fit of Thule 993005 OutWay Pro Platform Trunk Bike Rack on 2001 Audi A4 Quattro WagonAccording to Thule, their OutWay Pro 993005 trunk mounted platform bike rack which we offer as part # TH65JV is indeed compatible with a 2001 Audi A4 Wagon. This rack works great, if you've ever used a trunk mount bike rack before, you'll be astounded by how easy the rack is to install, the ratcheting cables eliminate all the fumbling adjusting and and colorful language caused by the typical strap-style racks. The rack features locks that secure the rack to the vehicle and the bikes to...

If the goal is to carry your bikes with a trunk mount rack then my recommendation is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. This is one of the best trunk mount racks that we have due to how easy it is to install and use. This is a hanging style rack so if any of your bikes lacks a horizontal top tube you'll...

I'm not a fan of trunk mounted bike racks, BUT this one gave me the least amount of troubles when I used it when shooting the demo. Be sure to check out the video to see me go over specs and show you how to set it up! I've linked the video in this answer for you!

So, unfortunately I don't have a trailer hitch receiver that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. If I can help you with a trunk mounted bike rack or a roof rack to meet your needs, please let me know and I'd be happy to make a recommendation.
