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.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Trunk Mount Hanging Rack or Platform Rack For 2011 Honda AccordI can help you find a bike rack for your 2011 Honda Accord. With either a trunk mounted hanging rack or trunk mounted platform rack most of the weight is on the trunk because that's where the bike rack attaches. However, the racks do come with support straps that attach to the top of the vehicle as well so that helps with support. To carry 3 bikes on the Honda Accord Couple or Sedan, I recommend Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier part # TH911XT because the weight capacity is 105 lbs compared...

- Bike Rack Options and Compatibility To Carry 2 Bikes On My 2011 GMC TerrainActually the Thule OutWay 2 Platform Bike Carrier part # TH56JV has been confirmed to fit your 2011 GMC Terrain. I confirmed this with Thule. Check out the review video I attached for this rack.
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2008 Ford Taurus SedanThe Thule platform style OutWay trunk mount bike carrier # TH65JV is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Ford Taurus Sedan. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my...
view full answer... - Carrying a Carbon Frame Bike on a 2014 Kia SoulThe Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount bike rack # TH65JV is listed as a fit for your 2014 Kia Soul. If you are carrying just one bike with a carbon frame the weight on the vehicle should not be excessive and it will safely carry the bike. With this bike rack it is possible for it to deform a rear bumper if the load is too heavy. Basically if you are carrying 2 regular steel frame bikes it would likely deform the bumper on the vehicle. If you have any doubts about the OutWay I recommend...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Ford EdgeI only recommend the Thule Raceway platform rack # TH65JV for vehicles that have a metal bumper though technically it does fit your 2010 Ford Edge. The issue is that the rack is heavy and when loaded with bikes it can damage the vehicle. So I recommend the regular OutWay, # TH45JV, which is significantly lighter which will dramatically decrease the possibility of a dented bumper. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Platform Bike Rack for 2012 Nissan VersaFor your 2012 Nissan Versa, the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH65JV will allow you to carry 2 bikes with the alternative frames you mentioned and is confirmed to fit your vehicle. The Thule OutWay also comes with a lock for the rack to your vehicle and is rated for slightly heavier bikes with more adjustability. You don't need an adapter bar but I do recommend the Security Strap for Yakima Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier # Y02623.

- Will Fat Bikes Fit on Thule OutWay Trunk Bike RackThe Thule OutWay Platform part # TH65JV will not work with your bike because the tires are too wide. This Platform carrier works with tires up to to 3-1/2 inches wide. Instead, I recommend instead, the Thule OutWay # TH45JV hanging bike carrier. Looking at your frame, you'd have to use a bike frame adapter bar like the part # UB01 which I attached an install video for.

- Will the Thule OutWay 2 # TH65JV Fit My 2020 Subaru Forester with Rear Spoiler? I have great news! I confirmed with Thule that the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV does fit 2020 Subaru Foresters with rear spoilers. With the OutWay, you will be able to use the Plastic Spoiler Reinforcement Strap that is provided with the rack. The OutWay comes with a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and has the benefit of implemented locks to protect your bikes and the rack itself from theft. On top of it all, the rack is made 100% in the U.S.A.
view full answer... - Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Fits for 2015 Acura RDXThe Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV that you used on your 1999 Buick Century is NOT a fit on the 2015 Acura RDX. In fact, Thule does not recommend this particular rack for the Century, but they DO recommend their Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV, which is a hanging style bike rack. The reason the larger platform style OutWay rack # TH65JV is not recommended is its substantial 28-lb weight which can be too much for some vehicles' trunk lids. When you load this platform rack...
view full answer... - Options for Carrying Bikes on a 2012 Toyota Prius VI have an option for you to carry bikes with your 2012 Toyota Prius V, but there are no trunk mounted bike racks that will work on your 2012 Toyota Prius V because of the spoiler. You are going to want to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. For a hitch I would recommend the Draw Tite Hitch # 24847. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for you to check out also. For a bike rack I would recommend the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Carrier part # S64670....

view full answer... - Can the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Mount Bike Rack be Used on a 1999 Honda AccordNo, Thule does not recommend use of the Thule Outway platform 2 bike carrier, # TH65JV, on your 1999 Honda Accord 2-Door Coupe. The way the bikes are carried on the # TH65JV rack could cause damage to the rear of your Accord. The Thule OutWay 2, # TH45JV, is recommended for your 1999 Honda Accord 2-Door Coupe. I had an opportunity to install the OutWayy 2 bike rack and it is the easiest to install and remove rack that I have ever used. The retractable cables make installation quick and...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay 2 Part # TH65JV Work with Carbon Fiber Bike FramesThe Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV which is a fit for your 2014 Volkswagen Passat (sedan only) is my favorite trunk mounted bike rack. The reason for this is because it is one of a kind in that it gives you a platform style without having to install a trailer hitch. It also will not require any adapters for alternative frame bikes. In regards to the clamps that secure the frame of the bike which in your case is carbon fiber, they do not have a pre-set pressure. They are...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Volvo S60The Thule OutWay platform rack, # TH65JV, is listed as a fit for a 2005 Volvo S60. This rack is heavy, about 28 pounds, and when loaded to its 66 pound capacity, that would be about 100 pounds on the bumper of a vehicle. While it will technically fit, it is more suited for a vehicle that has a metal mounting surface for the bottom legs because this much weight can dent thinner composite materials. For a 2 bike rack I recommend going with the OutWay hanging style rack, # TH45JV. This rack...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 BMW 5-Series SedanI checked with Thule and the OutWay platform style rack # TH65JV does technically fit your 2010 BMW 5-Series sedan. However I do not recommend this bike rack for your vehicle. This rack is heavy and when loaded, it is very heavy. Heavy enough to deform or otherwise damage the vehicle. I recommend going with the regular hanging style OutWay # TH45JV. This rack features the latest in cradle technology with road dampening padded cradles for better bike protection. The rack is lighter than...
view full answer... - Platform Bike Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai VelosterTo use a platform rack with your 2013 Hyundai Veloster you are going to first need to install a hitch on your vehicle since I checked Thule does not recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH65JV for your vehicle. Let's start with a hitch, for that I would recommend the Curt hitch part # C11254. Curt recommends that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Ford Focus SedanFor your 2007 Ford Focus both of the Thule racks you referenced have been confirmed as a fit. Honestly I would strongly recommend you go with the hanging Outway part # TH45JV over the platform rack part # TH65JV. Most likely you would be fine with the platform rack, but I would hate to have the rack dent your vehicle if you hit a big bump or something similar. The previous generations of the platform OutWay had a reputation for denting bumpers so we try not to recommend them as much as...
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...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack Work on a 2022 Mazda 3 Sedan with Rear SpoilerThe Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack # TH65JV will work with your 2022 Mazda 3 with spoiler without damage, as long as it is the factory spoiler. If you have an aftermarket spoiler, then there is a chance that it will not work.
view full answer... - Does The Thule Outway Platform Fit A 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback?The reason why they do not say that the Thule Outway # TH65JV fits your 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback is because of the rear spoiler you have. They do not suggest using it on plastic fenders because of the potential damage that could occur. If you think it fits and are willing to take the risk of the straps putting too much pressure on your fender then you could continue to use it. Just know that there are risks.
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... - Carrying Bike Rack on 2021 Toyota 4Runner that is Towing TrailerIt's actually not recommended to tow a trailer with a trunk mounted bike rack for clearance reasons but we do have a great solution with the Lippert Jack-it # LC429756 which installs by attaching under the jack mounting flange and allows you to carry two bikes above the propane tanks. Then to use it in a hitch you'd want the # LC723359.
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for 2015 Nissan SentraThe Thule OutWay # TH65JV is an excellent choice. It is by far the easiest to mount trunk mount bike rack I have used. They are the easiest and quickest installation of any trunk mount bike rack I have seen because they use retractable cables instead of straps. The mounting cables are lockable, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to deter theft. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is...

Even though you'd only be using one of the spots on the rack the extra weight is going to wear on the rack and eventually break it and you'd be without a warranty.
