Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Subaru Ascent that Can Allow Rear Cargo Area Access

There isn't a trunk mounted bike rack setup that allows you to open the rear hatch with the rack installed as the weight of the rack would cause the shocks that hold the door open to allow the hatch to slam down and be rather dangerous.

The only type of rear mount bike rack that can allow you rear cargo area access with the rack and even bikes loaded is a swing away hitch mounted bike rack that would require a hitch to be installed first like the Draw Tite part # 76253.

Then for a bike rack you'd want the Thule Apex Swing # TH9027XT which would easily allow you to carry up to 4 bikes and get into the rear cargo area as needed.
