The Thule Gateway Pro trunk mount bike rack # TH78VR, is listed as a fit for your 2014 Chevy Equinox. If your Equinox has that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the rear hatch though I recommend a different rack.

The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3 has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is put on it. I have linked a video showing how it works.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's 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 wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
