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.

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

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



by:

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:

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!



by:

Best bike rack ever



by:

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 OutWay Platform Style Trunk Mount Bike Rack Dent a 2008 BMW 5 Series
    Actually, yes, the Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount bike rack, # TH65JV, is not the best option for a vehicle that has a fiberglass or otherwise soft bumper. 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....

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2006 Toyota Corolla and a 2015 Infiniti QX50 with a Spoiler
    For the 2006 Toyota Corolla, the Thule OutWay Platform, part # TH65JV will work. However, you will not be able to open the trunk as the tension required to keep the rack positioned will change as the rack moves with the trunk lid, risking damage to the rack and the vehicle. For the 2015 Infiniti QX50 with a spoiler, the OutWay rack is not a fit as the factory spoiler cannot support the weight of the rack's support straps. I checked through all of the owner's manuals for the racks listed...

  • How To Carry Bikes on a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport
    It sounds like you are looking for a bike rack to use on your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport. If that is the case then I do have options for you but they do not make a trailer hitch for this vehicle most likely due to the dual exhaust therefore a hitch bike rack cannot be used. Instead, I have two options for you to carry bikes on your Elantra and that will be with either a trunk mount bike rack or a roof rack and roof mounted bike rack. For a trunk mount bike rack I recommend the Thule...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2002 Subaru Outback Sedan with Rear Spoiler
    For a great trunk mount bike rack that will work well with the spoiler on your 2002 Subaru Outback Sedan I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. This rack works well with factory-installed spoilers. It holds 2 bikes, but the 3-bike verstion # TH56BV will also work. I have included a link to a video review of this rack. 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....

  • Fit of Thule 993005 OutWay Pro Platform Trunk Bike Rack on 2001 Audi A4 Quattro Wagon
    According 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...

  • Trunk and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for a 2012 Kia Optima
    The Thule OutWay bike racks, # TH45JV, # TH56BV, and # TH65JV are excellent bike racks with many great features, but they are a little pricey. Another bike rack that you may be interested in from Thule is the Archway 3 Bike Carrier, # TH9010XT. This bike rack uses 4 rubber pads that rest on your vehicle to prevent scratching or damage to your vehicle. This bike rack will fit on your 2012 Kia Optima and gives extra room underneath to accommodate for a factory spoiler. You may also want...

  • Solution For Transporting 2 Bikes On A 2021 Mercedes AMG GLE 53 Coupe
    Trunk-mounted bike racks are typically the next best option under hitch-mounted bike racks. The Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Trays # TH65JV has been used on similar vehicles and may work for your 2021 Mercedes GLE 53 coupe, however, it has not been confirmed to fit your vehicle so I do not recommend using it at this point in time. There are not any trailer hitch receivers for your vehicle at this time so you cannot go with a hitch bike rack. Your last...

  • Best Bike Rack for the 2017 BMW M3
    I have an awesome solution for you but the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV is not a good fit for your 2017 BMW M3. Instead you can use the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack - part # 298-BM2006 or the SeaSucker Bomber Roof 3 Bike Rack part # 298-BB3008 . These are the best bike rack to use with higher end vehicles that don't have the standard options available for them (hitch or trunk mount). They have incredible holding power, go on and off of the vehicle very quickly...

  • What Trunk Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2019 BMW X2?
    I have a great 3-bike solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the OutWay Platform # TH65JV does not fit your 2019 BMW X2 M35i. However, for a great alternative that does fit, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # Y02633. The great thing about the FullBack is that it comes with a similar 35 pound per-bike weight capacity (90 total when 3 bikes are loaded) and includes locks that protect both the rack and the bikes from theft. If you plan on transporting...

  • Availability of Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack To Fit 2013 BMW X3
    The one Thule trunk mount rack that fits your 2013 BMW X3 is the Outway Platform # TH65JV. It's a pretty unique style compared to the common hanging style trunk bike racks you usually see. I have the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack, part # Y02637, that will fit your 2013 BMW X3 if you prefer a hanging rack.

  • Will the Thule OutWay Platform Style Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2014 Honda Accord
    The Thule OutWay platform rack, # TH65JV, will technically fit the 2014 Honda Accord but I strongly advise against this bike rack for this particular vehicle. The problem is that the rack itself is so heavy that if you load bikes on it it will dent the vehicle. However, this latest version is 8 pounds lighter than the previous. I attached videos of the this rack and the hanging rack of this line. You will probably want to use a lighter hanging rack such as the OutWay # TH45JV. I use...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
    While the OutWay platform trunk mount bike rack, # TH65JV, does technically fit the 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan, it is more suited for vehicles that have a metal bumper like some SUVs. The reason is that the rack itself is heavy when compared to other trunk mounts and by then adding bikes to it the weight can deform less capable bumpers. I recommend going with the OutWay 2, # TH45JV. This is a hanging style rack that mounts with 2 retractable cables, includes anti-sway cradles, and comes...

  • 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...

  • Trunk Mount Hanging Rack or Platform Rack For 2011 Honda Accord
    I 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...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The 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...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata
    The Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount rack # TH65JV is best suited for vehicles that have metal bumpers. This is because the rack itself is fairly heavy and then adding the weight of bikes to it can deform the less substantial bumpers on other vehicles. I recommend a lighter rack like the regular OutWay hanging style rack # TH45JV. I own the 3 bike version of this rack and it is the easiest rack to use and install that I have ever used. It is much less likely that this rack or any...

This product includes both locks for the bikes and locks for the rack itself. Please note that the vehicle rear wiper cannot be used when the carrier is mounted.

  • Higher Capacity Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2003 Lexus LS 430
    The Thule OutWay trunk mount platform bike rack, part # TH65JV, can carry up to two 33 pound bikes. It's not rated to carry your 48 pound e-bike and neither are any of the trunk mount racks we carry. Your best option is to add a hitch to your 2003 Lexus LS 430 and use a hitch mount bike rack. The Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B, is a great rack that can handle up to 60 pound bikes. Also the rack itself only weighs about 22-12 pounds. The Thule you looked at is about twice that. For a...

The Thule OutWay , part # TH56BV is a nice bike carrier with updated road dampening technology. The FitDial makes it very easy to mount the bike rack to your 2012 Chevrolet Malibu.

  • How To Carry Bikes On a 2014 BMW X1
    I do have an option for you to carry bikes on your 2014 BMW X1 but they do not offer a trailer hitch for models with the panoramic sunroof. I cannot recommend that you modify one to work for you either. Therefore, your best option is to just use a trunk mounted bike rack for which I recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV This is highly popular and easy to install. It has many great features. Check out the video that I have included for you to see if you might be interested.
