Question:

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2019 WITH a spoiler. Do you have any bike rack for 2+ bikes that would fit?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a spoiler is the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 since it's the nicest one that is compatible with your spoiler. This is a hanging style rack so if any of your bikes lacks a horizontal top tube you'll need to pick up an Adapter Bar # Y02531.

With that being said, the straps will still make contact with your spoiler so with prolonged use there is a chance the straps can cause damage. Because of this I recommend installing a trailer hitch and using a hitch mount bike rack since it won't touch your vehicle plus you'll be able to utilize the hitch for other applications like a cargo basket or towing a trailer.

For a trailer hitch I recommend the etrailer # e98901 if you want something cost-effective or the Draw-Tite # DT26GR for a hidden hitch option. The etrailer hitch has good quality but the crosstube hangs below the bumper so you can see it and it reduces ground clearance, while the Draw-Tite crosstube is hidden behind the bumper and if you remove the receiver it looks like a hitch isn't even installed.

If you decide to go with a hitch mount rack I highly recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU84FR which is a really solid middle-of-the-road rack that's easy to use due to the foot release for tilting/folding the rack and the U-Shaped frame which makes loading and unloading the rack much easier. If you end up needing to carry more than 2 bikes we have the 1 Bike Add-On # KU57FR you can pick up so you can carry that 3rd bike.
