What 3-Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L?
Question:
I have a Thule gateway 3 bike rack. Will this fit a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited l? What position number do I put it in. Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

I have a great bike rack solution for you. However, I confirmed with Thule that the Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR does not fit a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.
The only confirmed way to transport 3 bikes on your vehicle is with a hitch-mounted bike rack and hitch receiver. For a rack that offers the same weight capacity as the Gateway Pro 3, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # S63365.
This rack also comes with a tilting mechanism that allows you to tilt the rack with bikes unloaded to gain access to the trunk. For theft-deterrence, I recommend using the hitch lock # S64029 along with the etrailer cable lock # e98891 to secure the rack and the bikes themselves. If you happen to have children's bikes, women's bikes, or bikes with step-thru frames, you need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each of those bike types. The adapter provides a straight, horizontal frame on your frame in order to mount onto the arms of the Trailhead 3.
If you need a hitch receiver for your vehicle, I recommend the Curt # C96NR.
