Expert Answers about Jeep Trunk Bike Racks


  • Can You Open Trunk With Saris Solo Bike Carrier Installed
  • Hi there Chris, thanks for the question. And the answer is your trunk cannot be opened while you have on the Saris Solo Bike Carrier # SA102. The carrier would need to be physically removed for you to gain trunk access, though that's standard on trunk-mounted racks like this one. It's pretty easy though as the # SA102 just uses buckles so it won't take much time at all.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Bike Rack for a 2016 Lexus GSF
  • The best option to transport a bike with your 2016 Lexus GSF is going to be to install a roof rack and attach a bike rack. The trunk mounted ones like item # SA805BL have mixed results and won't work with cars with spoilers. It doesn't look like your Lexus has any rails so to add a roof rack you will need the following parts: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425 BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # Y28TR BaseClip...

  • Is The Swagman Escapee S39SR Available As A 4 Bike Rack?
  • The Swagman Escapee is only available as a two bike rack as part # S39SR. There is no 4 bike version. If you are looking for an RV rated bike rack that can carry 4 bikes, the only options will be hanging style racks such as the Thule Range RV Bike Rack # TH9057. This rack can hold 4 bikes weighing up to 37.5 lbs apiece. So this is a great RV rated option for standard frame bikes like mountain bikes or road bikes. For alternative frame bikes or kids bikes an adapter bar # TH982XT may be...

  • Yes, the Hollywood Racks Destination bike rack part # HLY66ZR that you referenced is compatible with the Lectric XP bike racks that you have.

  • Can Curt Bike Rack # C18085-FB Carry an E-Bike
  • Hey Mark, the Curt platform bike rack part # C18085-FB potentially could carry e-bikes but they would need to weigh under 45 lbs as that is the capacity for this rack. Since a lot of e-bikes weigh more than that a different rack like the Swagman E-Spec part # S94FR might be a better option as this is a very similar bike rack but it has an 80 lb per bike capacity.

  • Single Bike Rack that Can be Expanded Up to 3 Bikes
  • Hey Martin, I would go with the Kuat Transfer single bike rack part # KU64FR as you can expand it one bike at a time with the expansion kit part # KU57FR. Each of the # KU57FR kits will add ability to carry one additional bike so you'd want two more to get the rack up to a 3 bike rack.

  • How Many Bikes Can E-Bike Rack for 5th Wheel Application Carry
  • I really wish there was a great solution but nothing we have works mainly because of the number of bikes. E-bike racks are primarily 2 bike racks and when you have to limit them to 5th wheel applications that makes it really hard. If for some reason you would only carry 2 e-bikes we have the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR which is 5th wheel rated and has the weight capacity needed.

  • Can Inno Tire Hold HD Bike Rack # IN25RR Carry Bikes with Fenders
  • Hey Randy, yes the Inno Tire Hold HD Bike Rack # IN25RR can work to carry bikes with fenders but they would need to be smaller fenders and not the longer ones you sometimes see like on cruiser bikes. Nearly all e-bike fenders will work with this bike rack.

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Transporting Paddle North E-Bikes ESKO
  • Hey Dave, for a bike rack that has fenders that weighs as much as what you mentioned I would recommend the Thule EasyFold XT bike rack part # TH903202 which was designed for carrying heavier e-bikes with fenders like what you have and comes with a pull out ramp to make loading and unloading easier.

  • Solution for Carrying Two E-Bikes and Three Standard Bikes
  • Hey Allan, there isn't a single bike rack that would cover everything you need unfortunately so you'd have to look into a different option. Like maybe a hitch bike rack for the e-bikes like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. And then a roof bike rack for the rest of the bikes like with the part # RRRBC050.

  • I have a Winnebago Navion 24V, I am looking for an
  • Hi Mark, So I scoured every bike rack option, and unfortunately one with the exact configuration doesn't exist, for a couple reasons. The issue is being rated for an RV, weight capacity for ebikes, and especially the fenders, as the Thule rack you mentioned is wheel-mounted so won't work with fenders. If you're okay going with a 2-bike rack, there isn't an option for one with a ramp, but there is one with an electric lift if your Winnebago has a 7-way, the Saris Door County Bike Rack for...

  • Can I Put A Hitch And Bike Rack On A 2017 Honda Civic With Center Exhaust?
  • Hello Dylon. Unfortunately, none of the hitches we carry for the 2017 Honda Civic will fit the center exhaust models. The exhaust sits literally right where the hitch would need to be located. Even if a hitch was designed to fit under the exhaust, this would be less than ideal because your bike rack and bikes would be directly behind the exhaust which for obvious reasons would not be good. The best way to carry bikes on your civic is to add a roof rack with crossbars and use a roof-mounted...

  • Is There A Way Of Tying Down The Bike When Using The Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack TH93V
  • Hi Jim, so in our experience with the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR the bike will be stable with very little movement. You may a small bit of movement of the front tire when going over bumps but nothing severe at all. You could add some stabilizer straps like part # SA3033 to help keep the tires in line with the frame at all times. They might be nice to have especially if you plan to be taking long trips with your bike. The straps are definitely not required though....

  • Swing Away Bike Rack that Fits 2008 Dodge Sprinter that Allows Rear Door Access
  • Hey Jared, the Yakima Backswing bike rack part # Y02465 that you referenced does have the needed clearance to allow the rear door of your 2008 Dodge Sprinter to open. It has a distance of 15 inches from it's hitch pin hole to the back of the bike rack mast which is more than enough.

  • Towing Utility Trailer With Bike Rack While Needing More Rise From Ball Mount
  • I think we have a solution for you here, but the two parts you mentioned are using an adapter and adapter together. What you can do instead is which is use a Gen-Y ball mount shanks with stacked receivers. This gives you the ability use both a ball mount and bike rack, stacked at different heights so they don't interfere with each other. I'm not sure how much more rise you need, so here are a couple options: - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise: Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-304 - 10"...

  • Tow Bar Stowing Position To Bike Rack Clearance With A Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter
  • Hey Jeff, Since most tow bars have to sit up 90 degrees and then turn to either side to stow you'd almost certainly need to remove a bike rack. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 you were looking at would allow you to haul both but it along with even their largest version # RM-077-10 would likely still have the bike rack block the tow bar from stowing.

  • Using Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack For 2005 Honda Pilot
  • The HalfBack has been discontinued so you wouldn't be able to purchase that form us to use on your 2005 Honda Pilot. But what you can use is the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633. This does require the rack to be used in anchor mode, which I verified with the rack's manufacturer for you.

  • Does The Ramp for The Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR Mount To The Rack?
  • The ramp for the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR does not mount on the rack and would need to be carried in your vehicle. It can extend up to 46" long as it telescopes.
