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.

- What Hitch Bike Carrier Can Handle 60-lb Weight of Pedego Battery-Powered Bike on 2005 Ford FocusAll of the 1-1/4-inch Class I trailer hitch receivers for your 2005 Ford Focus ZX5 Hatchback, which can be seen on the link provided, have a tongue weight rating of 200-lbs. The combined weight of your two bikes and your carrier of choice must remain within this tongue weight limit. We offer one hitch-mount carrier that will fit your 1-1/4-inch hitch and also handle the weight of your 60-lb Pedego bike, the Thule T2 Classic Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier # TH9045. Please refer to the linked...
view full answer... - Can the Thule OutWay Platform Bike Rack be Used on a 2011 Subaru OutbackThere is a way to determine if this or any rack will potentially damage a vehicle. What I recommend doing is checking to see what the weight capacity is of the rear bumper on your 2011 Subaru Outback. This information may not be in the owners manual, so you will have to speak with the dealer or, better yet, a tech at Subaru. If the combined weight of the bikes plus the 45 pounds of the bike rack exceeds what that rear fascia is designed for, you know the OutWay Platform Rack, # TH65JV,...
view full answer... - What Trunk Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2020 Acura RDX? I have a great trunk bike rack choice for you! However, all Thule OutWay models like the platform style # TH65JV or the adjustable arms style # TH45JV do not fit your 2020 Acura RDX. With that being said, the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634 and FullBack 3 # Y02633 definitely fit your vehicle. The FullBack comes with 4 cam-buckle straps with hooks that easily secure to your trunk. As far as weight capacity, it offers 35 pounds per bike. The anti-sway cradles are a nice touch that add sturdiness...

Instead I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634. This truck mounted bike rack features a 4-strap mounting system and interlocking HUB for quick setup on your Toyota Prius. The adjustable arms have SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ZipStrip straps for easy bike loading as well as integrated locks to secure the...
view full answer... - Will The Thule Outway Trunk Bike Rack Fit The 2019 Jeep Compass?The reason the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV is not showing up as a fit for your 2019 Jeep Compass is because the product is newer and has not yet been tested on the Compass. I talked to Thule and they said that since the Compass and Cherokee are very similar vehicles and since Cherokee is a confirmed fit, then it will likely work for your Compass. While we have not tested this yet, I don't see a reason why the Thule Outway wouldn't work on your 2019 Jeep Compass...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Audi Q5The Thule OutWay part # TH65JV should not be used on your 2013 Audi Q5. Thule tried to fit this rack on your vehicle and they determined that it would not fit safely. This rack requires a pretty strong surface to mount to on a vehicle. When people have tried to use this rack on vehicles not rated for it or with bikes that are too heavy they have ended up with warping on the rear of the vehicle. Because of that it would not be a good idea for you to try to use this rack. The only trunk...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack Fit a 2019 Honda AccordThe Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV is indeed not a fit for a 2019 Honda Accord per Thule. In regards to the exact reason, Thule simply does not provide this info. I have tired many times in the past to ask about certain fit issues with a trunk mount bike rack but no real reasons were given other than the fit teams decided it would not work. That said, we do have a really great replacement option for you in the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack part # Y02634. The FullBack is...
view full answer... - Trunk Bike Rack Recommendations For Carrying Electra Townies On A 2018 Infinity QX30This is a tricky question because there seem to be some limitations to how you can attach a trunk rack to your vehicle. Thule does not even offer a trunk bike rack that will fit your 2018 Infiniti QX30. As is stands, there is not a platform style trunk bike rack that will mount to your vehicle. However, if you still want trunk bike rack, Yakima and Saris have trunk bike rack options that will fit your vehicle. If I am forced to choose a trunk bike rack, I would pick the Saris Bones 3,...

- Will the Thule OutWay Platform Rack # TH65JV Fit on a 2005 Kia Sorento SUV Without a HitchYes, the Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, item # TH65JV, can be used to carry 2 bikes on the 2005 Kia Sorento. We recently had a chance to test the Thule OutWay with the manufacturer representative here at out facility, and this rack is an excellent choice. It is super adjustable for any type of bike frame and for bikes of different dimensions and styles. We have a video review of this rack for you to check out that includes a road test with the rack mounted on a VW Jetta,...
view full answer... - Carrying Bikes on a 2008 Volvo S40 T5I contacted our representative at Thule and she informed me that the Thule OutWay Platform 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH65JV, will fit the standard model 2008 Volvo S40. She could not confirm that # TH65JV would fit the T5 model. I did some research on the internet and found that the T5 is the AWD Turbo model. Also, that the T5 can come equipped with a rear spoiler and added fascia. If your Volvo S40 T5 is equipped with a spoiler, the Thule OutWay may not fit. Since the T5 comes with added...

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...

view full answer... - Thule OutWay Platform TH65JV fit on 2013 Hyundai Sonata and 2008 Nissan QuestHonestly I do not recommend the Thule OutWay # TH65JV just because of the weight and damage it has caused other vehicles. Especially on a brand new vehicle such as your 2013 Hyundai Sonata. Thule makes excellent racks, but this one was not executed well. Some people have used this rack without problems but I never feel safe recommending it just because of that risk. For a much better Thule trunk mounted bike rack that will work on both vehicles and work very well check out the Thule OutWay...
view full answer... - Trunk/Spare Tire Mount Bike Racks for a 2009 Dodge Caliber and 2005 Hummer H3First, the Thule OutWay platform rack # TH65JV is best suited for vehicles that have a metal bumper. This is because on plastic or fiberglass bumpers the weight of the rack and bikes can deform the bumper. With that said this rack will fit your 2009 Dodge Caliber but not the Hummer H3 because of the spare tire on the back. For the Caliber a better option would be the Raceway 2 # TH45JV because it weighs less and is much less likely to cause any damage. It is a hanging style rack rather...
view full answer... - Can the Thule OutWay Be Used for One 40 Lb Bike on a 2016 Audi A6I do have an option for you but all trunk mounted bike racks like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV have a 33 lb per bike weight capacity. The cradles for each bike are only rated for 33 lbs so I cannot recommend you use it with a 40 lb bike. If you cannot get the weight of your bike down to 35 lbs then your best option would be to place it on a hitch mounted bike rack, the Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack part # KU64FR with a trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch...
view full answer... - Will The Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack Fit My 2014 Volkswagen Passat?I checked with Thule on this and It seems the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack # TH65JV would not be a good fit for your 2014 Volkswagen Passat. I can definitely see the appeal of that bike rack since it is one of the only trunk mount platform style racks on the market. I have a few potential solutions for you. First, if you want a good trunk mount bike rack, I recommend the Thule Gateway pro 2 # TH88VR. This can hold 2 bikes weighing up to 35 lbs apiece. Adjustable arms allow this...

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... - Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 CoupeI reached out to the biggest suppliers of trailer hitches, and neither Curt or Cequent (the maker of draw-tite, reese and hidden hitch) have a fit for your 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 Coupe. 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.
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Kia Sorento with SpoilerThule lists the OutWay part # TH65JV as a fit for your 2011 Kia Sorento, but due to the spoiler you have I have a better recommendation that won't touch your spoiler. Check out the Hollywood Racks Over the Top Trunk Bike rack part # HRF2. This rack is designed specifically for vehicles with spoilers and would not touch your spoiler at all. I attached a review video for this product that shows it being demoed on a similar vehicle with a spoiler like yours. If you plan on carrying any...
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...

It is meant more for vehicles that have a metal bumper like some trucks and SUVs. For your 2008 BMW 5 series I recommend the Thule OutWay hanging style rack # TH45JV. I have the 3-bike version of this rack, # TH56BV, and I have a plastic bumper on my vehicle. I have not experienced any denting or scratching using this rack....

An alternative trunk rack from Thule is the Thule Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR. This rack is really easy to use and set up but you do have the hanging style arms instead of the platform.
