Question:

Can you suggest any rear mounted carrier that could fit on 2014 dodge journey? It does not have a towbar or hitch.

There are several trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for your 2014 Dodge Journey, see link. But if your Journey has a little spoiler at the top of the hatch I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes.

These racks have upper arm pieces that move the straps up and over the spoiler so no weight or stress is on the spoiler. I have included a video link showing the 2-bike version on a 2014 Journey.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
