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.

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: BillGBW07/03/2022
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: David 07/17/2021
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.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Is Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV Compatible with 2010 VW Passat WagonPlatform-style racks like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH65JV do offer the advantage of not requiring the user to lift her bikes up quite so high for loading. This excellent carrier will fit on your 2010 Passat Wagon and I confirmed this with my contact at Thule. Thule is very careful with their fit information and they test extensively. If your Passat Wagon's bumper could not handle the load of the rack and the two bikes Thule would have determined this long before now. You can be confident...
view full answer... - Can the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Mount Bike Rack be Used on a 1999 Honda AccordNo, Thule does not recommend use of the Thule Outway platform 2 bike carrier, # TH65JV, on your 1999 Honda Accord 2-Door Coupe. The way the bikes are carried on the # TH65JV rack could cause damage to the rear of your Accord. The Thule OutWay 2, # TH45JV, is recommended for your 1999 Honda Accord 2-Door Coupe. I had an opportunity to install the OutWayy 2 bike rack and it is the easiest to install and remove rack that I have ever used. The retractable cables make installation quick and...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Single Electric Bike on Bike RackThe Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH65JV is only compatible with bikes up to 33 lbs each. It will not be compatible with a single bike weighing 55 lbs. There is not a trunk mounted option at this time that is compatible with an e-bike like what you have, so I've attached a link to all the hitch mounted e-bike options to assist. If you will only be carrying one bike, I recommend the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 1 Bike # RKY10007 which is compatible...
view full answer... - Maximum Single Bike Capacity for Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Platform RackThe maximum single bike capacity for the trunk-mounted Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV is 33 lbs; thank you for pointing out the previous answer, it has been updated. If you want to carry a 55 lb bike you will need a trailer hitch and a hitch-mounted bike rack because the maximum single bike capacity for most trunk-mounted racks is 35 lbs. If you let me know what year, make and model your car is I'd be happy to recommend a hitch and rack for you.
view full answer... - Availability of Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack To Fit 2013 BMW X3The 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.

The Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Trays # TH65JV has been used on similar vehicles and may work for your 2021 Mercedes GLE 53 coupe, however, it has not been confirmed to fit your vehicle so I do not recommend using it at this point in time. There are not any trailer hitch receivers for your vehicle at this time so you cannot go with a hitch bike rack. Your last...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for 2015 Nissan SentraThe Thule OutWay # TH65JV is an excellent choice. It is by far the easiest to mount trunk mount bike rack I have used. They are the easiest and quickest installation of any trunk mount bike rack I have seen because they use retractable cables instead of straps. The mounting cables are lockable, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to deter theft. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is...
view full answer... - Will The Thule OutWay # TH65JV Fit My 2017 Prius V?The Thule Outway # TH65JV is not confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Prius V. That is the only trunk mounted platform rack option available. That being said, we do have what you need to be able to get a platform style rack for your Prius. You will need a hitch receiver # 306-X7192 and a rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR. Since it's a higher end bike, I don't like suggesting a hanging style rack, but if you are 100% set on not getting a hitch then you can get a trunk mounted...

view full answer... - Will Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack Fit My 2011 Hyndai Genesis Sedan?The Thule OutWay # TH65JV does not fit your 2011 Hyundai Gensis, but you can use the Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR. I'm not a fan of trunk mounted bike racks, BUT this one gave me the least amount of troubles when I used it when shooting the demo. Be sure to check out the video to see me go over specs and show you how to set it up! I've linked the video in this answer for you!
view full answer... - Recommended ThuleOutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 1990 Volvo 740 Wagon and 1995 Volvo 940 SedanAccording to Thule, several of their trunk mounted 2-bike racks will fit both your 1990 Volvo 740 Wagon and your 1995 940 Sedan, but the Thule OutWay Platform-Style Trunk Mount Rack you mention, part # TH65JV is not one of them. The vehicles can not support the almost 50 lb weight of the rack plus the weight of the bicycles. The OutWay 2-bike hanging model, part # TH45JV would be an excellent choice, as long as the weight of the bikes does not exceed the 66 lb weight capacity of the rack....
view full answer... - Which Thule OutWay Trunk Rack Fits 2016 BMW 2 SeriesI checked with Thule and while they have the 2-bike hanging style trunk rack as a fit for your 2016 BMW 2-Series they do not list the platform style. The platform version is pretty heavy and the older versions occasionally dented vehicles so they are very cautious about listing it as a fit for your vehicles. I'd rather recommend you go with the hanging style OutWay instead that is part # TH45JV which we know fits well and is really the best option available for a trunk rack for your vehicle....

view full answer... - Thule OutWay Platform TH65JV fit on 2013 Hyundai Sonata and 2008 Nissan QuestHonestly I do not recommend the Thule OutWay # TH65JV just because of the weight and damage it has caused other vehicles. Especially on a brand new vehicle such as your 2013 Hyundai Sonata. Thule makes excellent racks, but this one was not executed well. Some people have used this rack without problems but I never feel safe recommending it just because of that risk. For a much better Thule trunk mounted bike rack that will work on both vehicles and work very well check out the Thule OutWay...
view full answer... - What is a Recommendation for 2 Bike Rack on the 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320For 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...

The OutWay # TH65JV is very easy to use, featuring retractable cables that allow the rack to install or remove in seconds. The rack can accommodate two bikes weight up to 33 lbs apiece. The retractable cables can lock, securing the rack to the car and the frame clamps are also lockable to secure the bikes to the rack. If you click the provided link, you can see a product demonstration video.

We have the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top trunk mounted bike carriers that are a fit for your vehicle. These are hanging racks versus a platform rack, and available for 2 bikes # HRF2 or 3 bikes # HRF2-3. If you are looking for a platform rack, we have many options for your vehicle...

The reason I recommend this bike rack for you is because it is a platform style which unlike all but one other trunk mounted bike rack will be easier to load your bikes onto and you don't have to ever worry about the tires hitting the ground. The Thule OutWay 2 also comes with locks for security. It weighs in at 28 lbs, which is about the weight of a bicycle, so it is easy...
view full answer... - Recommended Best Womens Bike Carrier Versus Hanging Bike CarrierThe Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02638 and similar hanging style racks are not ideal for women's bikes simply due to the frame design without a top frame tube. Because of this, manufacturers came up with the adapter bar like the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531 to fit under the seat and connect to the handlebars creating that top frame tube to allow you to transport the bike level and with necessary ground clearance. If you go with a hanging style...

This bike rack is rated to be used on all vehicles, motorhomes, and trailers. It has a 70 lbs capacity per bike. You will still be able to access your rear hatch with the carrier attached but you may have to remove the bikes.

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).

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.
