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
- Bike Rack Recommendation for 2022 Toyota RAV4 to Carry Carbon Frame BikeThule doesn't recommend any of their trunk mounted bike racks for the 2022 Toyota RAV4 but actually the Outway wouldn't be ideal for a carbon frame bike at all since it grabs the bikes by the bike frame and not the front wheel. Carbon bikes shouldn't use bike racks that attach to the bikes by the frame since the material is delicate. Best option would be a hitch bike rack that only touches the tire like the Thule T2 Pro part # TH83JV. Then for a hitch you'd want the Curt # C13416 which...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Hyundai Genesis SedanWhile 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...
view full answer... - Will the OutWay # TH65JV Fit a 2014 Cadillac SRX and a 2006 Ford Mustang ConvertibleThe OutWay # TH65JV is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Cadillac SRX but it will not fit your 2006 Ford Mustang. If you would like a trunk mount bike rack for your Mustang then you will need to use a Saris Bones bike rack like part # SA805BL. If you are really wanting a bike rack that you can use with either vehicle you will need to go with a hitch mount option instead. Let me know if you'd like to go this route and I can make some recommendations for you.

Hitch mounted bike racks are the way to go, especially for transporting expensive bikes for a long period of time. For a hitch you would want the Curt Hitch part # C11002 as this has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. For a top-of-the-line bike rack to use with this hitch I would recommend the Thule T2 Bike Rack part # TH9045. This rack is compatible with the hitch I referenced, can lock to your hitch and lock...
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,...

- Bike Carrier for 2012 Honda Fit Sport with Roof SpoilerThe plastic roofline spoiler on the 2012 Honda Fit Sport makes trunk-mount bike racks a bad option since this vehicle feature is likely to be damaged by the weight of a loaded bike rack. The excellent Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV without bikes on it weighs about 28-lbs. Load two typical 30-lb bikes and you see what I mean about the load that spoiler. For your Fit Sport the only good bike carrier option is a hitch mount type which of course requires you to bolt a hitch onto...

- 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 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... - Will a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS with Rear SpoilerThe large spoiler on your 2005 Chevy Cobalt will prohibit the use of a trunk mount bike rack so you will need to use a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. This is actually the most stable way to carry bikes on a vehicle and it keeps the bikes off of the trunk so it will not get damaged. You can use hitch # 24756. It fits the SS sedan and Coupe including Supercharged models. I have included links to the instructions and a video showing a typical installation. For a compatible bike...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2011 VW Golf that Will Not Dent BumperI don't recommend the platform style OutWay, # TH65JV on any vehicle that does not have a metal bumper. The rack is heavy for a trunk mount rack and after adding the weight of bikes to the rack it can deform plastic and fiberglass. The Thule OutWay hanging rack, # TH45JV is a better option because it is lighter. But with any trunk mount bike rack there is always the possibility of leaving dents in the bumper fascia. Be sure to remove the rack when it is not in use to help avoid this from...
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...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity Of Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier TH9003The trunk mount Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH65JV, has a weight capacity of 66 lbs, which would be 33 lbs per bike. I have attached a link to an installation video for this carrier. I have also linked you to our product page for trunk mount bike carriers. Since there are many different styles of vehicles and trunk designs, you will want to use the fit guide to find a trunk mount bike carrier that is best suited for your vehicle.

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....

The OutWay # TH65JV is very easy to use, featuring retractable cables that allow the rack to install or remove in seconds. The rack can accommodate two bikes weight up to 33 lbs apiece. The retractable cables can lock, securing the rack to the car and the frame clamps are also lockable to secure the bikes to the rack.

view full answer... - Is Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV Compatible with 2010 VW Passat WagonPlatform-style racks like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH65JV do offer the advantage of not requiring the user to lift her bikes up quite so high for loading. This excellent carrier will fit on your 2010 Passat Wagon and I confirmed this with my contact at Thule. Thule is very careful with their fit information and they test extensively. If your Passat Wagon's bumper could not handle the load of the rack and the two bikes Thule would have determined this long before now. You can be confident...

view full answer... - Which Thule OutWay Trunk Rack Fits 2016 BMW 2 SeriesI checked with Thule and while they have the 2-bike hanging style trunk rack as a fit for your 2016 BMW 2-Series they do not list the platform style. The platform version is pretty heavy and the older versions occasionally dented vehicles so they are very cautious about listing it as a fit for your vehicles. I'd rather recommend you go with the hanging style OutWay instead that is part # TH45JV which we know fits well and is really the best option available for a trunk rack for your vehicle....
view full answer... - 2017 Volkswagen Jetta Trunk Mount Bike Rack FitmentI have some bike rack recommendations for your 2017 Volkswagen Jetta but unfortunately Thule doesn't list the OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack # TH65JV as a fit for your vehicle. 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...
view full answer... - Is a Bike Adapter Bar Required When Carrying A Ladies Bike On The Thule OutWayIf your women's style bike has a slanted top bar, it will likely work on the Thule OutWay # TH65JV without an adapter bar. If your bike is a step-though style and does not have a upper crossbar for the frame clamp to attach to, you will want to use a bike adapter bar. I personally like the Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021 because of its push-to-operate tabs and budget friendly price. I have attached a review video of this adapter for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2013 BMW X5We do have a large selection of trunk-mount bike racks available for your 2013 BMW X5, however the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV that you referenced is not confirmed to fit. At this time there is not a platform-style trunk-mount rack available that will work on your BMW X5. For a trunk-mount option from Thule that will work great I recommend taking a look at the hanging-style Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT. This is an excellent carrier that features cushioned anti-sway...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Rear Lift Gate Not Opening On a 2023 Subaru Forester With Thule OutWay Bike Rack You should never try and open a rear liftgate on any vehicle when using using a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack # TH65JV. The weight is far to much for the electric actuator to attempt to lift. I would have the rear liftgate inspected by a Subaru dealer to determine if the extra weight may have damaged the actuator or one of the sensors. It also may be due to the extra weight of the carrier itself is tricking your Forester into thinking it is hitting...

It has a weight limit of 33lbs per bike and it is compatible with tires up to 3.0" in size. I have included a video review link below.
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,...
