2021 Jeep Renegade

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.



by:

Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!

Best bike rack ever



by:

The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.

  • Does The Thule Outway Platform Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2015 Toyota Camry?
    Great news, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV does indeed fit your 2015 Toyota Camry. This is a really neat bike rack that has wheel trays for added bike support, which is an unusual feature for a trunk-mount carrier. Locks are included to keep your bike and bike rack secured to the vehicle.

  • Recommended Rear Mounted Bike Rack Carrier For 2016 Ford Explorer
    There are more options for your 2016 Ford Explorer to carry bikes using a hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76034 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. This would give you the hitch mounted option, however there are other options for rear mounted bike racks. We have many options for trunk mounted bike racks confirmed to fit your vehicle. A favorite is the platform style bike rack. I recommend the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack For 2013 BMW X1 Without The Panoramic Roof
    I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite, and there is not a hitch compatible with your non-panoramic roof 2013 BMW X1. For you to carry bikes, I recommend using a trunk mounted bike carrier like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH65JV which is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This bike rack carries 2 bikes similar to the platform bike racks you see in hitch mounts. It has the locks to deter theft and has road dampening technology built into the bike...

  • Platform Bike Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster
    To use a platform rack with your 2013 Hyundai Veloster you are going to first need to install a hitch on your vehicle since I checked Thule does not recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH65JV for your vehicle. Let's start with a hitch, for that I would recommend the Curt hitch part # C11254. Curt recommends that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty...

  • Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Does Not Fit Over Spoiler on 2008 Toyota Corolla
    The platform style of the Thule OutWay, # TH65JV, is not the best option unless your 2008 Toyota Corolla has a metal bumper. This bike rack is heavy and after adding 2 bikes it will deform the bumper. If you have another OutWay model, like the # TH45JV then those are acceptable but regarding the spoiler there can be some fit issues. This is primarily because there appear to be different spoiler options. There is no alternate fit dial setting to make it work so you would either have to...

  • Does The Thule Outway Platform Fit A 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback?
    The reason why they do not say that the Thule Outway # TH65JV fits your 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback is because of the rear spoiler you have. They do not suggest using it on plastic fenders because of the potential damage that could occur. If you think it fits and are willing to take the risk of the straps putting too much pressure on your fender then you could continue to use it. Just know that there are risks.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
    While the OutWay platform trunk mount bike rack, # TH65JV, does technically fit the 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan, it is more suited for vehicles that have a metal bumper like some SUVs. The reason is that the rack itself is heavy when compared to other trunk mounts and by then adding bikes to it the weight can deform less capable bumpers. I recommend going with the OutWay 2, # TH45JV. This is a hanging style rack that mounts with 2 retractable cables, includes anti-sway cradles, and comes...

  • Will a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS with Rear Spoiler
    The large spoiler on your 2005 Chevy Cobalt will prohibit the use of a trunk mount bike rack so you will need to use a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. This is actually the most stable way to carry bikes on a vehicle and it keeps the bikes off of the trunk so it will not get damaged. You can use hitch # 24756. It fits the SS sedan and Coupe including Supercharged models. I have included links to the instructions and a video showing a typical installation. For a compatible bike...

  • Is there a Trunk Mount Bike Rack that Just Holds One Bike for a 2013 Nissan Rogue
    There is 1 trunk mount bike rack that holds a single bike and that fits your 2013 Nissan Rogue but it is a hanging style carrier; the Saris Solo, # SA102. You still might be able to use it though despite the design of your bike. You could use a bike adapter bar such as # 64005. I have linked a video showing how it works. For a platform style, trunk mount bike rack, we have the OutWay Platform # TH65JV but it holds up to 2 bikes (you can put 1 bike on if you want) and I would still need...

  • Will the ThuleOutWay Platform Bike Rack # TH65JV Fit on a 2011 Mustang with Satellite Antenna
    The Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, item # TH65JV, is recommended for your vehicle by the manufacturer, but my contact there said that they were not able to test vehicles with the satellite radio antenna, that you mentioned, on the trunk of the vehicle. You may experience issues with any of the truck mount racks that we carry, because of the antenna. Your best option would probably be to add a trailer hitch, like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24863, along...

  • Availability of Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack To Fit 2013 BMW X3
    The one Thule trunk mount rack that fits your 2013 BMW X3 is the Outway Platform # TH65JV. It's a pretty unique style compared to the common hanging style trunk bike racks you usually see. I have the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack, part # Y02637, that will fit your 2013 BMW X3 if you prefer a hanging rack.

  • Best Bike Rack for the 2017 BMW M3
    I have an awesome solution for you but the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack part # TH65JV is not a good fit for your 2017 BMW M3. Instead you can use the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack - part # 298-BM2006 or the SeaSucker Bomber Roof 3 Bike Rack part # 298-BB3008 . These are the best bike rack to use with higher end vehicles that don't have the standard options available for them (hitch or trunk mount). They have incredible holding power, go on and off of the vehicle very quickly...

  • Thule OutWay 2-Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for 2015 Toyota Rav4
    I checked with Thule and basically the only trunk mounted bike rack they don't fit for your 2015 Toyota RAV4 is the platform OutWay that you referenced. The hanging style OutWay part # TH45JV does fit and would work well. I prefer recommending this style as it doesn't weigh as much as the platform rack and doesn't have the same reputation for denting vehicles like the early versions of the platform style rack. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal...

  • How To Carry Bikes on a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport
    It sounds like you are looking for a bike rack to use on your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport. If that is the case then I do have options for you but they do not make a trailer hitch for this vehicle most likely due to the dual exhaust therefore a hitch bike rack cannot be used. Instead, I have two options for you to carry bikes on your Elantra and that will be with either a trunk mount bike rack or a roof rack and roof mounted bike rack. For a trunk mount bike rack I recommend the Thule...

  • Will the Thule Platform Bike Rack Fit on a 2002 Subaru Forester
    I checked the Thule fit guide an they do recommend the Thule OutWay, # TH65JV, for your 2002 Subaru Forester. I recently had a chance to install the OutWay on a vehicle and I really liked the adjustability of the rack. There is no need for an adapter bar for bikes with no horizontal cross tube and the wheel trays can be adjusted so that just about any two styles of bikes can be carried. The only drawback to this rack is that it is pretty heavy for a trunk mount option and some of our...

  • Will The Thule Outway Trunk Bike Rack Fit The 2019 Jeep Compass?
    The reason the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV is not showing up as a fit for your 2019 Jeep Compass is because the product is newer and has not yet been tested on the Compass. I talked to Thule and they said that since the Compass and Cherokee are very similar vehicles and since Cherokee is a confirmed fit, then it will likely work for your Compass. While we have not tested this yet, I don't see a reason why the Thule Outway wouldn't work on your 2019 Jeep Compass...

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Racks Approved for 2018 Kia Sorento with Roof Spoiler
    The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Trunk-Mount Platform Rack # TH65JV is a confirmed fit on the 2005 Kia Sorento but has not been determined by Thule to be a suitable fit on the 2018 model year. Even though the general profile of the rear hatch is very similar to the 2005 Sorento, the 2018 model year has a larger roofline spoiler which would be damaged by the full weight of this rack when loaded with two bikes. The OutWay by itself weighs about 45-lbs and when mounted on the car and loaded with bikes...

    We don't have any trunk mounted Thule bike rack fits for the 2016 Volvo XC60. I reached out to Thule and they said it is a spoiler issue. You are correct that the strap is basically the same for other models and even different companies, but Thule will not confirm the fit of the # TH65JV or the # TH45JV you mentioned. For a trunk mounted option that is a confirmed fit, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634. This rack has an adjustable interlocking...

For a rear-mounted bike rack that fits your vehicle, I recommend the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL.

Depending on the frame style of your bikes, you might need an adapter bar to use the bikes with the Saris hanging bike...

  • What is a Recommendation for 2 Bike Rack on the 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320

I recommend this rack over the Thule OutWay Platform Style 2 Bike Carrier # TH65JV you referenced as it does not come into contact with your vehicle and is lighter. I have provided links to instructions for proper installation as well as a video...
