I have a great combination for you with the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # e98856 and the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR bike rack.

The trailer hitch has a longer receiver tube so that the bike rack can clear your spare tire easier and it features a matte black finish that serves a dual purpose; to match the style of your 2020 Jeep Wrangler and to give the hitch more of a rugged powder coat that does a better job at hiding scratches from road debris than the glossy black finishes do.

The Hitching Post Pro has been a favorite here at etrailer for quite a while now. Not only among those of us that work here, but also among the people who purchase and use it (as you can see from the excellent reviews). This bike rack is a little more basic in that it doesn't have quick-release levers or locks, but it provides a great way to carry up to 4 bikes while remaining cost-effective. It features a longer shank than normal and a solid powder coat finish that combines to make it a very popular choice for Jeep owners.

Please note that if you have a bike that lacks a horizontal top tube you'll need an adapter bar like part # TH982XT for it to sit level. This promotes a level bike and better ground clearance. You might also be interested in the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs # SR54FR to keep the front wheels of your bikes from moving excessively during travel.
