3-Bike Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Options for 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad

Expert Reply:

We have many options in trunk-mount 3-bike racks confirmed to fit on your 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad edition.

Since the Journey has a small spoiler at the rear hatch roofline I suggest the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3 so long as you have raised rails or load bars on the roof. This rack's unique design avoids contact with the spoiler and it uses straps that connect to the roof rack or rails for extra support.

If you do not have the roof structure to allow attachment of rack straps then a good cost-effective option is the Thule Passage 3 rack # TH911XT, or if you prefer a rack that includes locks then instead consider their OutWay 3-bike carrier # TH56BV.

The very best way to transport bikes on your Journey is to use a hitch-mounted bike rack. Hitch racks avoid several issues that comes with trunk racks. Hitch racks do not mean you cannot use your rear wiper when the rack is installed; hitch racks put the weight load of the rack and bikes on the car's frame - its strongest part - rather than its rear hatch; hitch racks can carry up to 5 bikes; and a hitch on the car means you can also use other hitch-mounted accessories like a cargo carrier such as # C18151. The linked article will help illustrate the advantages of each rack type.

Hitch bike racks offer special convenience features like a swing-away function, such as with Yakima hitch rack # Y02465. If this option is of interest please let me know and I will be glad to assist further. All hitches made for your car are shown on the linked page.
