  • How to Tell if Longer Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars Will Fit 2012 Jeep Compass
  • It's possible that the 53" Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712400 could fit on your 2012 Jeep Compass instead of the normal 47" Crossbars # TH712200 that Thule has verified to fit, but you'll need to measure the mounting locations on the flush rails on your Compass to determine if this will work or not. Since these bars have limited space for the feet to mount on either side it may not be possible. When everything is put together I was finding about 36-1/2" between the mounting locations...

  • 2019 Jeep Compass Roof Clearance for Rhino Racks Vortex Crossbars
  • The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 are a great selection when looking for a low profile setup. Using the RCL Legs # RRRCL4 you will have a height of 1-1/2" above your mounting point plus the slight additional height of the formed metal bracket, # RRRCP64-BK. Please consider the contour of your roof will cause variance in clearance but overall this is not only a very good selection in product but also provides that low profile setup you are looking for.

  • Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2023 Jeep Compass Trailhawk
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e48AR fits all models of the 2023 Jeep Compass. This includes the Trailhawk with the dual exhaust. For wiring you can use the Curt # C66BR. This wiring harness plugs into the connection points behind the tail lights. Once installed, your friend will have a 4-way to power a trailer's signal lights. I see you also looked at the # ETBC7.

  • How to Determine Clearance Needed for Swagman Hitch Bike Rack S64152-2
  • It sounds like you have been using the 2-inch Swagman Original bike rack # S64152-2 with a 1-1/4-inch to 2-inch hitch extender/adapter like # HTAD or # HT5R. Both of these adapters allow 2-inch accessories to be used in a 1-1/4-inch hitch. While these items do both adapt size and provide extension (and the # HT5R also adds rise for more ground clearance) all such adapters will add potential for more motion of the loaded accessory, just as you noted. The other downside to adapters like...

  • Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV fit on a 2011 Jeep Compass
  • The Thule OutWay 3-bike model, part # TH56BV is indeed a fit for the 2011 Jeep Compass. I have confirmed this by phone with Thule. Keep in mind that you will want to avoid using the rear wiper while the rack was in place. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2020 Jeep Compass For Towing Trailer
  • I recommend the Class III Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76144 for the 2020 Jeep Compass because it has a 4,500 lb towing capacity. You will need to check the owner's manual to make sure you can tow that much weight because the towing capacity is based off of if the Jeep has a towing package or not according to my research. The installation does not require drilling but the access holes in the frame for the hardware may need to be filed out. I have attached an installation...

  • Fit of Thule Passage Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack # TH911XT on 2007 Jeep Compass Limited
  • The Thule Passage, part # TH911XT is a bargain-priced rack that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The rack includes what I believe are crucial components for a bike rack, like durable rubber straps to secure the bikes to the rack and anti-sway cradles that will prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth and hitting each other or the vehicle. To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended....

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist # RR-RUSL Fit a 2012 Jeep Compass
  • The Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist # RR-RUSL comes with several brackets that will fit Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero, Euro, and Heavy-Duty crossbars; Whispbar Flush, Through, Rail, and HD crossbars; and Thule AeroBlade and square crossbars. If you have one of those systems then you will be good to go.

  • Will the Thule Force XL Cargo Box part # TH625 Clear Rear Hatch of Jeep Compass 2012
  • Here's how you will figure out if the Thule Force XL Cargo Box part # TH6358B will interfere with the rear hatch of your 2012 Jeep Compass. You will need to slide your front crossbar as far forward as possible (it it's adjustable), and then you will need to measure from the center of the bar to the seam of the rear hatch. If that measurement you took is more than 53-5/8 inches then the rear hatch will open without interference. If you need a box with less clearance required check out...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Fit a 2013 Jeep Compass
  • Yes, I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV that you referenced is a confirmed fit for you 2013 Jeep Compass. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike) I recommend using an adapter bar, # TH982XT, to carry those bikes more level and provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.

It also comes with a 2" opening which allows for a larger selection of hitch mounted accessories and ball mounts.

This will work perfectly because you don't have a front fender. The Thule T1 has a 60 lbs capacity. It looks like most model years of the Boomerang weigh under this or just over with the battery installed. It is advised to remove the battery when traveling for safety purposes. Plus this will get you under the maximum...
