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:

The rack is great just what I was looking for.
The only issue I see is the straps are plastic so after using them for a little bit they broke. I had to order replacements. Let’s see how much time they last!



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!



by:

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 Thule Outway Platform Trunk Rack Fit 2018 Ford Grand C-Max
    Yes, the Thule Outway Platform Trunk Rack part # TH65JV is compatible with your 2018 Ford Grand C-Max.

  • Will the Thule OutWay Platform Bike Rack Fit a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium
    The Thule OutWay bike rack # TH65JV is not a fit for the 2017 Ford Edge Titanium but there are several 2-bike trunk mount racks that you can use. You can use the Yakima FullBack, # Y02634, or the HangOut, # Y02637. 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...

  • How does the ThuleOutWay Platform 2 Install on a 2014 Honda Insight
    In the installation instructions of the Thule OutWay Platform 2 Bike Rack, # TH65JV, the upper support strap will connect in the gap at the front edge at the top of the hatch door. The clip should not have any contact with the glass in your hatch back door. The strap may contact the glass, but the actual mounting point will be at a body joint on your vehicle. However, Thule does state that when the carrier is mounted to your Honda you will not be able to use the rear wiper blade.

  • 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 Mounted Bike Rack for 2013 Buick LaCrosse
    According to Thule, their OutWay Platform Bike Rack, part # TH65JV is not a fit for your LaCrosse. Once the bikes are loaded on the rack, it would be heavy enough to damage the vehicle. However, Thule offers a 2 bike hanging version of the OutWay, part # TH45JV that is a fit for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse. This is the easiest rack to install and comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes. Any time a piece of equipment is in direct contact with the painted surface of a vehicle, the...

  • Bike Carrying Options for 2011 Honda CR-V
    For exactly the reason you stated, Thule states that none of their trunk mounted racks will work with your 2011 Honda CR-V. Yakima states a few of their trunk-mount racks will fit. Occasionally, we will have one manufacturer state that the vehicle is compatible with a trunk mount rack, and the other will say that it is not. In that case, I typically do not recommend using a trunk mount. Installing a hitch and using a hitch-mounted bike rack would be your best bet. If you were only wanting...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 2 # TH65JV Fit My 2020 Subaru Forester with Rear Spoiler?
    I have great news! I confirmed with Thule that the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV does fit 2020 Subaru Foresters with rear spoilers. With the OutWay, you will be able to use the Plastic Spoiler Reinforcement Strap that is provided with the rack. The OutWay comes with a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and has the benefit of implemented locks to protect your bikes and the rack itself from theft. On top of it all, the rack is made 100% in the U.S.A.

  • Will Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2021 Honda Civic EX Hatchback
    The Thule Passage # TH910XT will only fit the 2021 Civic Sedan. If you want to stick with Thule you can use the OutWay # TH45JV or OutWay Platform # TH65JV. If you want an option at a lower price point you can use the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR. These are the only trunk bike racks available for the hatchback model. If I were to choose one it would be the OutWay # TH45JV. I don't care for the high ride height of the bikes on the OutWay platform and don't think it is worth the additional cost....

  • Trunk Bike Rack Recommendations For Carrying Electra Townies On A 2018 Infinity QX30
    This is a tricky question because there seem to be some limitations to how you can attach a trunk rack to your vehicle. Thule does not even offer a trunk bike rack that will fit your 2018 Infiniti QX30. As is stands, there is not a platform style trunk bike rack that will mount to your vehicle. However, if you still want trunk bike rack, Yakima and Saris have trunk bike rack options that will fit your vehicle. If I am forced to choose a trunk bike rack, I would pick the Saris Bones 3,...

  • Trunk Mount Hanging Rack or Platform Rack For 2011 Honda Accord
    I can help you find a bike rack for your 2011 Honda Accord. With either a trunk mounted hanging rack or trunk mounted platform rack most of the weight is on the trunk because that's where the bike rack attaches. However, the racks do come with support straps that attach to the top of the vehicle as well so that helps with support. To carry 3 bikes on the Honda Accord Couple or Sedan, I recommend Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier part # TH911XT because the weight capacity is 105 lbs compared...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Will the Thule OutWay # TH65JV Fit a 2019 and 2020 BMW X1?
    Yes! I am happy to say that the Thule OutWay # TH65JV will fit both a 2019 and 2020 BMW X1. The great thing about the OutWay is that it already comes with theft-deterring locks that protect your mounted bikes as well as the rack itself.

  • Trunk and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for a 2012 Kia Optima
    The Thule OutWay bike racks, # TH45JV, # TH56BV, and # TH65JV are excellent bike racks with many great features, but they are a little pricey. Another bike rack that you may be interested in from Thule is the Archway 3 Bike Carrier, # TH9010XT. This bike rack uses 4 rubber pads that rest on your vehicle to prevent scratching or damage to your vehicle. This bike rack will fit on your 2012 Kia Optima and gives extra room underneath to accommodate for a factory spoiler. You may also want...

    Yes, the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack part # 298-BM2006 is compatible with your 2017 Porsche Cayenne. This roof mounted bike rack is an excellent choice for your vehicle. The vacuum cup design is a great option when it comes to roof mount bike carriers as it minimizes contact points on your vechiles roof reducing scratches and dents. It can be attached to metal, glass or even fiberglass surfaces and comes with an extra vacuum cup. Per the manufacturer's specifications, the...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 Coupe
    I reached out to the biggest suppliers of trailer hitches, and neither Curt or Cequent (the maker of draw-tite, reese and hidden hitch) have a fit for your 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 Coupe. So, unfortunately I don't have a trailer hitch receiver that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. If I can help you with a trunk mounted bike rack or a roof rack to meet your needs, please let me know and I'd be happy to make a recommendation.

  • What is a Recommendation for 2 Bike Rack on the 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320
    For your 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320, I recommend the Thule Helium Aluminum 2 Bike Carrier # TH970XT, a hitch-mounted bike rack that tilts away from your vehicle for rear cargo access and features anti-sway cradles on arms that fold down for storage. 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...

  • Is There an Adapter for the Thule OutWay 2 to Fit my 2019 BMW X3
    There are available trunk mount racks available for your 2019 BMW X3 but The Thule OutWay 2 part # TH65JV is not confirmed to fit by Thule. There is no available adapter. The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack part # Y02634 is a good option if you do not have a carbon framed bike and the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack part # 298-BK1910-BK is a great option for carbon bikes.

  • Does The Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack Fit the 2019 Hyundai Elantra Sedan?
    Yes, the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV fits most sedans, including your 2019 Hyundai Elantra. This is a really unique bike rack that uses platform trays which offer superior support and stability, whereas most trunk-mount bike carriers are hanging-style that do not keep the bikes as sturdy. I think this would be a really nice option for you.

  • Troubleshooting Rear Lift Gate Not Opening On a 2023 Subaru Forester With Thule OutWay Bike Rack
    You should never try and open a rear liftgate on any vehicle when using using a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack # TH65JV. The weight is far to much for the electric actuator to attempt to lift. I would have the rear liftgate inspected by a Subaru dealer to determine if the extra weight may have damaged the actuator or one of the sensors. It also may be due to the extra weight of the carrier itself is tricking your Forester into thinking it is hitting...
