Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

Question:

I want to put a bike rack on my 2016 Trailhawk. Is there a mount already on my Trailhawk? It seems like there is a mount that comes on the trailhawk, but it is unclear. Which bike rack would you put on the trailhawk if there is a hitch? Thank you! PS: my trailhawk has a moonroof and this is why I want to go the hitch route

Your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk may have came with a factory hitch, but not every vehicle came with one so you would need to check to be sure. If you need a hitch the most popular one we have that would work great is the Curt part # C13172. This will give you a 2 inch hitch to carry a bike rack with.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058.. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
