Roof-Mounted Bike Rack for Factory Roof Rack on 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan
Question:
Aloha, i currently have a Thule Big Mouth 599XTR. I tried to see if it could mount on my 2015 Grand Caravan factory crossbars but the mount for the bike carrier is too small. Will this adapter work for my van? And how much adapter kits will i need?

Expert Reply:
The Thule XADAPT2 # Xadapt2 is only designed to work in the top channels of specific Thule racks so it won't work on your 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan with the factory roof rack. Since your Thule Big Mouth won't otherwise fit on your crossbars, the best option available is a new rack.
For a bike rack that is similar to the now-discontinued Big Mouth that I confirmed will fit on the factory roof rack of your 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier # Y02103 or Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000.
I have added links to video reviews of these racks as well which I recommend checking out.
