Recommended Bike Rack for a 2017 Jeep Wrangler

Do you have a recommendation for a hitch bike rack for the wrangler?

Helpful Expert Reply:

We do have a few different best sellers when it comes to Jeep Wranglers like your 2017 model. The biggest challenge is to accommodate the spare tire on the back. The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is a great choice because it measures 13-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the upright bar. This doesn't include locks but you can add them with parts # THSTL2 and # e98891.

To make sure that this rack will fit simply measure from the center of your hitch pin hole to the outermost part of your spare tire (if you have one). As long as the distance I gave you is longer than your spare tire clearance you can use it.

You may also be interested in the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs # SR54FR to help keep your front tire from potentially damaging another bike or making contact with your vehicle. If any of your bikes have an alternative frame that doesn't have a horizontal cross tube like a traditional men's bike then an adapter bar like part # UB01 is recommended. This will help keep your bike level and increase ground clearance.

I have attached review video of this bike rack on Jeep Wranglers for you to reference.
