Which Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Question:
I am looking for a hitch bike rack for 2 bikes on a 2020 Jeep Rubicon. I noticed the Thule spare tire mount blocks the backup camera. I wasn’t sure if that is just the case with the bikes on or always. It would be great to be able to access the rear cargo area without having to take the the bikes/rack off. What would you recommend for the 2020 Jeep Rubicon?

I have a solution for you, but the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack # TH963PRO you mentioned is not a confirmed fit on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler.
I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Rack # TH934XTR as it offers more clearance to go around the spare tire of your Jeep than most other bike racks. I attached an installation video of the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR on a Jeep Wrangler for you to take a look at, as it shows that when installed with a longer trailer hitch receiver you can open the cargo area with the bike rack installed. If you have a larger than factory spare tire you may not be able to open the cargo area of your jeep with the rack installed.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 as it offers a 9 inch receiver tube to help give you additional clearance for your hitch mounted bike rack, and has a tough matte black powder coated finish that helps resist scratches. I included the installation video on a Jeep Wrangler for you.
