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
- 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...

Unfortunately there aren't any trunk mount bike racks with dual arms like the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL with out an adapter bar like the Malone Bike Adapter Bar part # MPG2165. I wouldn't be too put off by it. It will take about ten seconds to install it. There is the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV which will work out perfectly for your situation and allow you to get your bike where you want it without an adapter bar. I've included...
view full answer... - Does The Thule Outway Platform Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2015 Toyota Camry?Great news, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV does indeed fit your 2015 Toyota Camry. This is a really neat bike rack that has wheel trays for added bike support, which is an unusual feature for a trunk-mount carrier. Locks are included to keep your bike and bike rack secured to the vehicle.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 VW JettaThe only trunk-mounted bike rack that will allow you to open the trunk of your 2014 VW Jetta is the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack # 298-BK1910-SV because it mounts with four vacuum cups instead of straps. The reason a trunk cannot open with a trunk-mounted rack is because opening the trunk will cause the straps to loosen and the rack to fall off. The vast majority of trunk-mounted bike racks use straps to secure to vehicles so they need to be removed before opening your trunk. For your...
view full answer... - How To Carry Bikes On a 2014 BMW X1I 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.
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.

Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the OutWay Platform 2 is not compatible with your 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Sedan. With that being said, the only option we carry for a trunk rack option for your vehicle is the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted - Black # 298-BK1910-BK. The SeaSucker Komodo has the easiest installation process out of any rack we carry on etrailer, and it will hold bikes up to 45 pounds. A more...
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 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... - 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... - 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...

For a trunk mount rack I recommend the Thule OutWay which comes in 2 different styles: - Hanging Style 2-Bike # TH45JV OR 3-Bike # TH56BV - Platform Style # TH65JV This rack was designed for high-end vehicles both with how it attaches...
view full answer... - Best Bike Rack for the 2017 BMW M3I 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...

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.

view full answer... - Is Thule OutWay Trunk-Mount Platform Bike Rack TH65JV Compatible with 2015 Hundai SonataYour 2015 Hyundai Sonata is not recommended for use with trunk-mount bike carriers. Both Thule and Yakima recommend none of their trunk-mount racks for your car due to the car trunk's thin sheet metal and the bumper cover that COULD be dimpled or dented by the weight of two bikes. Some bike rack makers do show a fit for certain of their lighter trunk-mount racks but my recommendation is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch-mount 2-bike rack. This puts all of the carrier and bike weight...
view full answer... - 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... - Weight of the Thule OutWay Bike RacksThe Thule OutWay Platform # TH65JV that you referenced is a bit heavy. However, this latest version of this rack tips the scales at 28 lbs. For a lighter rack that is very similar with the exception that it is a hanging style bike rack check out the # TH45JV. This rack only weighs 13 lbs. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation...

It has updated folding braces, improved spools to eliminate cable jam and more foot pad cushioning to improve car contact. Take a look at the attached video to see all of its great features.
