Question:
Ive got a 2009 Toyota Venza and want a trunk mounted bike rack. Will either the Thule 9001 or 9002 Raceway work? I had to return another brand to a store near here because it didnt fit.

Expert Reply:
I contacted our representative at Thule and she confirmed that the item you selected, Thule Raceway 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH9001, will fit your 2009 Toyota Venza.
The representative at Thule informed me that you will be limited to a 2 bike trunk mounted rack, so the Thule Raceway 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH9002, will not work on your 2009 Toyota Venza. The reason it will not work, is because the vehicle can only support 2 bikes.
If you will be carrying women, children or alternative framed bicycles, I would recommend the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. The Thule Bike Adapter Bar will allow you to carry those type of bicycles level.
I have linked instructions and a video review for the Thule Raceway 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH9001.
