Question:

Thanks James. If the bike rack you suggested is non retractable then I have no space left in my garage to walk around. Plus with the last Lexus SUV I had I was told it could not hold a trunk mounted rack. What I'll do is to take the car to a place where someone can actually decide what will fit my car and install it. But Thanks so much again.

I have a way you can carry a bike rack with your 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV but there aren't any hitches that fit the PHEV models like what you have. So instead your best option is a trunk mounted bike rack like the Yakima Fullback 2 bike rack part # Y02634. I really like this trunk rack because it has large mounting pads to spread out the weight of the bikes and rack on the rear of the vehicle and because it comes with locks as well.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.

The arms of the Fullback can fold down. If you check out the picture I attached you can see what I mean. This rack has been tested on your vehicle and determined to be a great fit so it would work well for you.
