I had a Thule bike rack for my Gen3 Jimny

www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-racks/towb...bike-towball-carrier

I used PF Jones towbar specialist to fit a removable towbar, I went for a removable one for two reasons, firstly when not in use you don't knock your knees/shins putting stuff in the back of the car. Secondly if your going to use it for off roading you don't want to be ploughing the fields with it.
PFjones will come to your house our place of work to fit it

I also have similar to Foxtrot.
Have PF Jones supplied towbar and electric kit on my GEN3, but I fitted it myself.
I use a Thule 972 HangOn 3 Bike Cycle rack which can handle 3 15kg bikes or two 22.5 kg electric bikes. I also have two ebikes and it's ok with these.
In a fitter previous life it took 3 normal bikes around France, no issues. Thule's a good make.
Tow bar is Witter with removable swan neck on Jimny.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
