Question:

I am hearing differing opinions on whether a Thule TH56BV will work on my 2007 Jeep Compass. I want something to carry 3 bikes, what is your best recommendation? I don't have a hitch, but would consider installing one IF there isn't a reasonably priced alternative, like the 56bv? Thanks~

Expert Reply:

I have checked all three Thule fit guides and all 3 show that the OutWay 3-bike rack, # TH56BV, will fit your 2007 Jeep Compass.

This is the easiest to install and remove bike rack that I have encountered. The retractable cables make installation quick and easy.

If you will be carrying women's, childrens, or alternative frame bikes I recommend using the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT in order to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video showing how it works.
