How to Carry Bikes on a 2017 Ram ProMaster
Question:
What would be the best bike rack for our 2017 Dodge Ram Promaster? We are looking for a rack that will mount to the back doors... Thanks for your help!

I do have an option for you but they do not make a bike rack that attaches to the rear swinging doors on your 2017 Ram ProMaster to my knowledge. The only logical way to carry bikes on this vehicle would be with a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack.
For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76050 which is a custom fit that installs using pre drilled holes in the frame rails. This option is cost effective and is fairly easy to install with little modifications to the vehicle.
For a bike rack, I recommend the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack part # SR2415 as it can carry up to four bikes and has a swing away feature that should allow you to open the rear doors on your van without having to remove the bike rack. If you have any alternative frame bikes then you will also need to use an adapter bar part # SR0500.
I have attached a review video of the bike rack and adapter bar for you as well.
