Hitch Mounted Bike Rack w/ Ski/Snowboard Adapter for 2015 Jeep Wrangler Willys Edition

Question:

I am looking for a bike rack for a 2015 willys edition jeep wrangler. What are the best ions for a bike rack to carry 3-4 bikes. Possible add on for skis or snowboarding equipment also, thank you!

The first thing you'll need to do is measure how much clearance you'll need to clear your spare tire. I've linked to an FAQ article that shows how to do this.

Measure rearward from the hitch pin hole until you clear the spare tire. The bike rack you choose will need to have a hitch pin hole to closest upright portion of rack dimension longer than what you measured on the vehicle.

Thule offers their Tram ski and snowboard accessory, part # TH9033 that's only compatible with certain Thule bike racks.

If your measurement is less than 13-1/2 inches, the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR would be an excellent choice.

I've also linked you to some product videos for the items I've recommended.
