If I personally had to choose a rack, I would choose the Thule Spare Me, part # TH963PRO. The rack is economical, lightweight, and it includes it includes locks that both secure the rack to the vehicle and the bike to the rack, and it has great ground clearance. The rack is centered on the rear of the vehicle, so the weight of the bike won't apply as much torque to the tube that connects the bike rack to the spare tire mounting plate. The Spare Me will fit vehicle spare tires up to 10 inches wide and 33 inches in diameter, and has a 35 lb per bike weight capacity.

Be aware that this rack is not designed for off-road use, Thule specifically address this in the instructions. If you take the vehicle off-road, proceed with caution.
