• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Chrysler Town and Country
  For a bare bones entry level trunk mounted bike rack, the Thule Passage would be a good choice, part # TH910XT for the 2 bike or # TH911XT for the 3 bike model. Nothing fancy there, but you'll get a rugged bike rack that features sturdy anti-sway cradles that will securely hold your bikes and will serve you well for years. A step up from there would be the Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR for the 2 bike and part # TH78VR for the 3 bike model. The Gateway provides the anti-sway cradles...

• Will Thule OutWay Work With Camping Trailer
  Placing a bike carrier like the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack, part # TH56BV on the back of your vehicle may interfere with your camping trailer when executing turns. Normally, a 1-bike or 2-bike carrier may not cause a problem, but when you make any turns you may run the risk of hitting the bikes with the camper when on the carrier. If you can work with a 2 bike carrier I recommend # TH56BV but the arms do not extend rearward as far.

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with Factory Spoiler
  I do have a recommendation for you but unfortunately the Thule OutWay, part # TH56BV, is not confirmed to fit your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. Thule doesn't have any 3-bike racks that are a fit. Unfortunately, we do not have any 3-bike racks that are specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers. We have the 2 bike carrier by Hollywood Racks that will work with most factory spoilers. It is the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 bike carrier # HRF6-2. It carries up to 2 bikes that weigh up...

• How Far Does the Dual Arms Extended on the 2 and 3 Bike Thule Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Rack
  Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 bike rack # TH56BV (3 bikes) and # TH45JV (2 bikes) will fit your Volvo XC60. The Outway 2 or 3 is the easiest to install and the most recommended rack. If you don't have a bike adapter, I recommend the Thule bike adapter # TH982XT because it will make it much easier to carry alternative frame, children or women's bikes on a hanging bike rack. I added a couple video review for you to view as well.

• Hitch/Bike Carrying Options for 2011 Saab 9-3 Aero Dual Exhaust Sedan
  According to Curt, they do not have a hitch fit for the 9-3 Sedan with dual exhaust. The # C11140 hitch is a fit for the Sport Combi wagon model, but it won't work on the sedan model because the undercarriage is different at the rear. If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your vehicle, Thule offers an extremely easy to use trunk mounted rack option, the OutWay, available in a 2 bike version as # TH45JV or a 3 bike version as # TH56BV. Rather than the 6 not-so-easy buckle and strap...

• Is There a 2, Class III Trailer Hitch Available for a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
  We currently do not have a trailer hitch for a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon. If you are wanting a hitch to carry bikes, we have trunk-mounted bike racks available like the Thule OutWay for 2 bikes # TH45JV or for 3-bikes # TH56BV. I have attached an OutWay video for you to see how it works.

• Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2015 Kia Soul without Rear Spoiler
  The most popular 2-bike trunk mount carrier for owners of the 2015 Kia Soul is the Thule Passage # TH910XT. But if you are looking for the carrier that is the easiest to install, has the most features, and has the most security then I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. The OutWay is by far the easiest trunk mount carrier I have ever used (which is why I own one!) and that is due to its 2 retractable cables. Other carriers use 4-6 straps to secure to the vehicle whereas the OutWay and...

• Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2005 Mini Cooper S Convertible
  For a trunk mount bike carrier for your 2005 Mini Cooper convertible you have a few options. For a 2-bike carrier you could use the Expedition # HRF6-2 or the Over-the-Top # HRF2. For three bikes you could use the Over-the-Top 3, # HRF2-3. Since the Over-the-Top carriers are designed primarily to reach over spoilers, I would go with one of the Expedition carriers for your Mini Cooper. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a...

• Cable Maintenance on my Thule OutWay Three Bike Rack
  While the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack part # TH56BV is one of the nicest bike racks on the market to mount to a trunk. With that said they do not recommend leaving the rack on during non use periods. I also understand this is not always followed. Check out the information I was able to find on care and maintenance below. 1. Remove your Thule rack and accessories when they are not in use and before entering automatic car washes. 2. Locks must be turned and moved periodically to ensure smooth operation....

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2015 Subaru Outback
  The 2015 Subaru Outback has that piece at the top of the rear hatch that is like a spoiler. Because of that there is only one trunk mount bike rack I recommend; the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes. These racks have an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. The Thule...

• Deciding Between a Trunk Bike Rack and Hitch Bike Rack for a 2016 Honda CR-V
  I do have an option for you but all of the trunk mount bike rack manufactures will recommend that you not use the rear wiper with a trunk mounted back rack installed. The rack will not damaged the wiper as is but if it were to power up with the bike rack attached there could be interference. There should be a fuse you can pull each time on your 2016 Honda CR-V while you have the bike rack attached to prevent this from happening. I recommend the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack part # TH56BV because...

If you are looking for the best then look no further than the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I have an older version of this rack and it is by far the easiest trunk mount rack I have ever used.

• Is the Thule OutWay 2Bike or 3Bike the Better Choice for Mounting My Mountain and Hybrid Bikes
  I recommend the Thule OutWay -3 bike rack # TH56BV to easily mount your bikes on your 2013 Toyota Corolla. This rack allows you to carry up to 99 lbs. so you will not have to worry about carrying too close to the weight capacity. Also, mounting two bikes is easier on a bike rack which carries 3 bikes over a bike rack only designed for two. When mounting your bikes, always have the heavier bike mounted closer to the vehicle. In your case, the hybrid bike most likely weighs more and should...

  For a trunk mount bike rack that will easily clear the spoiler on your 2013 Dodge Charger you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight).

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2009 Infiniti M35
  The best option in my opinion would be to use a trunk mount bike rack. This is because it is much easier to load the bikes and because you will not have to spend as much money as you would with a roof rack. For a 3-bike rack I recommend the Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV that you have referenced. I personally own this rack and my family and I love it. What makes it the best choice amongst trunk mounts is its plethora of features. It comes with an integrated cable lock in the last bike position,...

• 3-Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2001 Mercedes ML320
  None of the Thule trunk mount bike racks will fit the 2001 Mercedes ML320 but there are other options. I have included a link to the trunk mount bike racks that will fit your Mercedes. You will be limited to 2 bikes. I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # Y02634. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will...

• Comparing the Thule Gateway, OutWay, and Yakima KingJoe for a 2015 Subaru Forester
  The Thule Gateway trunk mount bike carrier # TH78VR is one step up from the Thule entry level carriers. It has more versatility and an easier to use design compared to the Passage, which is the next step down, # TH911XT. But there is no comparison between the Gateway and the OutWay. The OutWay # TH56BV is superior in every way and is really in a class by itself. It is high quality and has road dampening technology to better protect the bikes. The rack secures to the vehicle using only...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2016 Mazda CX-9 and 2003 Honda Civic
  I have a very similar bike rack to the OutWay # TH56BV that you referenced that does fit both a 2016 Mazda CX-9 and a 2003 Honda Civic (sedan or coupe) with the Yakima FullBack 3 bike rack # Y02633 but the Thule does not fit the CX-9. The overall design of the Fullback is very similar so if you like the Raceway you'll also really like the Fullback. It has the advantage of including locks and has easier to use straps so I think you'll really like it! I attached a review video for this rack...

  We have many confirmed fits for trunk-mount 3-bike racks for your 2010 Kia Rondo and also for your 2015 Kia Forte sedan. I linked the two pages that show the racks that fit each car.

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2009 Mazda CX-7 and 2013 Toyota Sienna
  Between your two vehicles there actually are no trunk rack fits for both. The OutWay part # TH56BV does fit your 2009 Mazda CX-7 and would work well. The Sienna would need a Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 which is a fit for vehicles like this with spoilers.

• Will the Thule Passage 3 Fit My 2021 Subaru Crosstrek?
  I have a great alternative for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule Passage 3 # TH911XT will not fit your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. With that being said, the only 3-bike trunk rack that is compatible from Thule for your vehicle is the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. The newer design of the OutWay 3 includes 2 padded arms with cradle indentions and padded straps that secure bikes by the frame. In addition, the OutWay 3 include 2 straps with rubber-coated hooks let you quickly...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan with Factory Spoiler
  Thule does not recommend carrying more than 2 bikes on your vehicle. The G35 was not designed to support very much weight at the trunk and rear bumper. Therefore, I would recommend going with the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV, since the G35 is limited to 2 bikes. The Raceway bike racks were designed to accommodate most factory spoilers and the factory spoiler on the G35 is not very large, so you should not have an issue. If you need to carry three bikes, you could add a third to...
