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 Mounted Bike Rack or Hitch Rack for 2020 Acura RDXThule does not list the Thule Outway part # TH65JV as a fit for your 2020 Acura RDX but we do have other great trunk mounted options like the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 which is a fully loaded hanging style rack. Or if you wanted the platform style you'd have to go with a hitch mounted option like Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z and a hitch for your vehicle like # 76268.
view full answer... - Recommendation of Trunk Bike Rack To Fit a 2006 Mini Cooper 3 Door HatchbackThe Thule OutWay Platform-Style Bike Rack, part # TH65JV, you have referenced, will fit on your 2006 Mini Cooper, however, it is a heavy rack, about 94 lbs fully loaded, and can potentially damage your rear hatch if the bike rack is installed too tightly with a heavy load. Trunk mounted bike racks are not designed to damage your vehicle if they are installed correctly and used within capacity. For a trunk mounted bike rack, I recommend using the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, part # TH45JV....
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 CoupeI reached out to the biggest suppliers of trailer hitches, and neither Curt or Cequent (the maker of draw-tite, reese and hidden hitch) have a fit for your 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 Coupe. So, unfortunately I don't have a trailer hitch receiver that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. If I can help you with a trunk mounted bike rack or a roof rack to meet your needs, please let me know and I'd be happy to make a recommendation.
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2002 Subaru Outback Sedan with Rear SpoilerFor 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....

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.

We do have some trunk mounted racks compatible with your vehicle. We have the two bike Yakima HangOut # Y02637 and a few 3 bike options # Y02638, # MPG2139, and # MPG2142. These are currently the only fits confirmed for your 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.

The OutWay has a two bike capacity with a maximum weight capacity of 33 lbs. per bike. The telescoping wheel trays will allow you to adjust to fit most bike sizes. The OutWay is the only trunk mounted platform bike rack that Thule has available at this time. I contacted Thule and they told me that the older model Raceway had the grey grips, but the mounting is exactly...

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. The OutWay is the...

view full answer... - 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...

We have had customers attach the upper straps through openings between the spoiler and the top of their hatch, but many vehicles do not have that gap. If you are concerned that the weight of the bike rack at 48 lbs combined with the weight of bikes you plan on carrying may be too much then you may want to look at other options for a carrier. Another style bike carrier you may...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity And Tire Size Fit on Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike RackThat depends on the weight of your bikes as well as their tire size; so long as they are 33 lbs or less and have tires that are 3 inches wide or narrower, you will be able to use the Thule rack you asked about: - Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV Bikes larger than that will not be able to fit on the rack.
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...

They strongly discourage using this rack because although it fits, it is heavy and better suited for vehicles with a metal bumper. Damage to the car from using this rack will not be covered under any warranty from Thule. Thule strongly suggests going with a...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Audi Q5The Thule OutWay part # TH65JV should not be used on your 2013 Audi Q5. Thule tried to fit this rack on your vehicle and they determined that it would not fit safely. This rack requires a pretty strong surface to mount to on a vehicle. When people have tried to use this rack on vehicles not rated for it or with bikes that are too heavy they have ended up with warping on the rear of the vehicle. Because of that it would not be a good idea for you to try to use this rack. The only trunk...

The combined weight of your two bikes and your carrier of choice must remain within this tongue weight limit.

This rack holds two bikes and is not that heavy, weighing in at less than 19 lbs. The best part about this rack is the fact that it has a retractable cable system for attachment. The retractable cable system seems to hold up a bit better and the attachment cords that are coated to prevent any scratching damage to your vehicle retract into the carrier...
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...

This bike rack carries 2 bikes similar to the platform bike racks you see in hitch mounts. It has the locks to deter theft and has road dampening technology built into the bike...

I reached out to Thule and they said it is a spoiler issue. You are correct that the strap is basically the same for other models and even different companies, but Thule will not confirm the fit of the # TH65JV or the # TH45JV you mentioned. For a trunk mounted option that is a confirmed fit, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634. This rack has an adjustable interlocking...
