I am very impressed with the fast service getting my bike rack to me once I placed the order…5-6 days! I am mounting it right away and will give you another review once it is in service. Thank you E-Trailer!

This is the only bike rack for my Ram Promaster which is about e ground and allows the rear doors to open completely. Recommended!!

Still working great, I use it consistently in the summer with 2 bikes, in Colorado, without any issues. I am grateful it for it.

Expensive, but worth the cost! Easy to install with clear instructions. Folds away cleanly when not in use, you can use the shorter bike latch to secure the folded rack in place more easily than the included strap. The only problem I've had is that if you're about 6' tall, with the rack in the highest position it's just above your sightline but squarely in "crack you in the forehead" range, so keep that in mind when deciding which height to use.

Great product, poor sales and delivery execution.
The good:
This bike rack appears to be of typical Thule high quality However, at the time of this writing, I had not installed the rack on my 2021 Promaster.
The rack arrived on time with decent tracking data.
The bad:
The installation process for this rack is far (FAR!) more involved than installing a roof rack or hitch mount.
ETrailer made no mention of needing specialty adhesive in order to install per Thule’s requirements. Neither Thule nor etrailer provided this adhesive, and it’s very hard to find in bricks and mortar stores. I suggest ordering the required Sikaflex 252 on Amazon immediately after ordering the rack so the adhesive will arrives before the rack.
It appears etrailer sold me a returned item, because the rack appeared to be thrown in the delivery box with loose parts and no protective packing materials; $XXX bike rack and that’s how much etrailer cares!
UPS sucks; there’s no reason to candy-coat the performance of their deliveries (yay for union protected job apathy). Every (yes, literally every) box I receive from UPS arrives with varying degrees of damage which often impacts the condition of the contents of the box.
I suggest buying this rack at your local bricks and mortar bike store.

We have had similar reviews about the adhesives and we have worked to make it more clear on the product page. I know that Thule recommends to use Dekalin MS 5, SIKA 252, or Terostat MS937 adhesives with the rack. If the rack arrived damaged in any way, we are happy to take care of it for you. Customer Service will be in touch with you to discuss.
by: Ray and Jodi06/19/2022
Works great! Folds up nicely when not in use. Bikes are on solidly, and don’t touch the van or each other. The bikes are also completely behind the van, well protected. Both bikes mount on one door, allowing the door to swing open with bikes on it. We did put a small piece of climbing webbing between the van body and the door to prevent the door from swinging all the way around and hitting the side of the van. The rack would otherwise hit the tail light.
It was a bit tricky to find the glue needed (see photo, product available on [online vendor]). Make sure you have a strong caulking gun because the glue is hard to get out.
by: Grant 01/27/2024
This Thule bike rack has held up well, and we use it on every trip. E trailer was a hassle free way to buy the bike rack, and I appreciate their friendly and helpful customer service.

Ram ProMaster 2500
Almost the perfect bike rack for the Promaster. No complaints after a year of use. Thousands of miles with road bikes, gravel bikes, and modern mountain bikes on there and no problems that weren't my own.
And if you are creative, you can use the rack for other things, like carry a storage box or traction tracks.
Well worth the money if you want to keep your hitch free for other things.
by: Neal12/27/2022
The Thule Elite Van Bike Rack is near perfect for my Winnebago Travato ProMaster van. The spare tire on the Aluminess carrier makes for a tight fit in the bike rack middle section but all in all functions fine. I am totally pleased with the rack and your company.
by: TJ01/31/2024
Still going strong after a year - except for backing into a tree. Don't do that. I can say that Thule is easy to work with when you need to buy replacement parts :)

Excellent service from etrailer, even arrived sooner than promised. Unfortunately the tape on the shipping box was broken on 3 sides, so I just had to lie it down to open it. Fortunately nothing had fallen out during shipping.

Love the way it fits the van. My only complaint, the locking knobs often dont lock or unlock without a lot of fiddling with the key.
by: Artur 07/01/2023
A great product. It made it possible to carry my bikes safely on my van whenever my travels take me. I was even able to adapt it to carry skis in the winter!

Placed order for Thule Bike Rack online. 4 hours later order was filled and was waiting for pickup. 2 hours later UPS picked up from Nevada. The next day arrived in California and was loaded onto vehicle for delivery. Got the bike rack late that afternoon. What is not to like?
5 Stars. Maybe 6.
by: Patrick03/14/2022
Worst packaging and directions. I can NOT believe this is actually a Thule product. And the fact that etrailer did not suggest/provide and option for the necessary adhesive is simply a lack of product knowledge and service. Shame on both.

I checked the instructions for the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack # TH302013 and it states that you should use one of the following adhesives: Dekalin MS 5, SIKA 252 or Terostat MS937

So far, so good. I haven't had a chance to install this bike rack on my Winnebago Solis 59PX, but was impressed with the packaging, the instructions, and the quality of the materials. It appears to be a well-designed product and I feel comfortable that it will be sturdy enough to securely carry two bikes. The service I received from etrailer.com was also excellent. They shipped the order very quickly and provided detailed tracking information every step of the way.

I ordered the wrong model from another company and had to send it back.
The rack from e trailer came quickly and was in good shape. Definitely a win!

This is the *only* bike rack for a Promaster. (for up to two bikes). Well engineered, and low profile.
by: Victoria 08/12/2022
Assembly was easy and the bikes stay right during the ride. We did jiggle off a thumb nut during one bumpy right but we assume that was partly our fault. Bikes are easily strapped in with this system and it fit great on our Zion Roadtrek

Perfect for Promaster!
by: Joel03/04/2022
This rack is a great addition to our campervan. It was quite easy to attach with two people. It carried our bikes safely and securely from the east coast to the west coast and back again. We have also used it on several shorter trips during the past year.

- What Thule Door Bike Rack Fits My 2021 RAM ProMaster 2500 Van?The correct Thule bike rack for your 2022 Winnebago Travato 59GL on a 2021 Promaster Chassis is the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster Rear Door # TH302013. With the Thule Elite Van XT 2 # TH302013, you will be able to open both of your rear doors with bikes loaded for full access to your van's interior.

So while this system is a good idea, when push comes to shove it won't work.

That is because the platforms of this rack are too close to the van (especially when folded up) and there will be interference. If you want to add a bike rack to your ProMaster the best way to do it would be with a trailer hitch. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e99AR will fit your ProMaster and provide you with a 2" hitch receiver for a bike...

From what I can see, it doesn't look like this rack will as you can see in the attached photo where someone with a very similar setup as yours is using this rack.

- Can Thule Elite Bike Rack for Ram Promaster Fit with Hitch Bike Rack and Fat TiresYes the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster Rear Door # TH302013 will fit your tire widths of 3.8 inches and also this sits up high enough that you could install a hitch mounted bike rack below it. For a similar rack design that attaches to a hitch the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT part # TH92BJ would be what you'd need.

- Is Glue Necessary to Mount the Thule Elite Van XT on a Ram ProMaster and Can the Rails be RemovedI spoke with Thule regarding the glue alternatives for installing the Thule Elite Van XT, part # TH302013, on a 2018 Ram ProMaster 2500. In order to mount this without glue, you will need to use bolts to keep this mounted on your ProMaster. That would require drilling into the door. As for being able to remove the rails after applying glue, you will not be able to do this. This is a permanent mount that relies on its ability to stay one to support the bikes.

The correct part is the following: - Thule Elite Van XT 2-Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster Rear Door # TH302013 This rack will allow you to carry a pair of bikes on your ProMaster without the need for a trailer hitch receiver, and mounts to your door with no drilling, while also allowing you to still open your rear doors even with your bikes loaded.

For your application I recommend installing a hitch on your 2018 Ram ProMaster 2500 and then using a swinging bike rack for rear door clearance; for the hitch use # e99AR.

- Adhesive Recommendation For The Thule Van XT RackInstead of using those other adhesives with your Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster Rear Door # TH302013, you could also use the: -TremPro 644 Silicone Sealant # 0160299. Just like those other adhesives, this is a multi-purpose adhesive that will work with rubber-like roofing materials, aluminum, galvanized metal, plastic, vinyl, fiberglass, wood, and mortar and concrete.

Just to give you a little reassurance about fitment the brackets measure 32-5/8" long and Thule calls for them to be spaced about 46-1/2" apart from top to bottom which looks like it will clear the dimensions of your doors (thank you for providing that by the way).

- Can Thule Elite Van XT Bike Rack For Ram ProMaster Carry Bikes With 29 Inch WheelsSo long as the wheelbase of your mountain bikes with 29 inch wheels is no more than 45-1/2 inches they will fit on the Elite XT Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster, which is the following part number: - Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster Rear Door # TH302013 The rack is height adjustable for taller bikes, and there is 7-5/8 inches of space between the wheel trays, so it's possible the "tight" was referring to the distance between the bikes since they mentioned it was tight for two.

The rack that you would want for your 2019 Ram ProMaster 2500 is the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster Rear Door # TH302013. Looking at the installation instructions for the # TH302013, it will not work if your spare tire is mounted below the rear passenger window. The spare tire would need to be on the drivers side door for this to fit.

We love our bike rack. We mounted it to our RV ladder and it works really well. The bikes load and unload quickly so we have minimal time lost fighting with getting ready to go. The bikes travel well with no contact with each other. I could not be happier!
