Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
I need a 3 bike carrier for a 2006 Subaru Outback wagon. Will this or another product work. Note: I have a 39.00 rack that is 16 years old and I can make it work just fine, so I wonder what all the discussion of spoiler, etc. is about.

I checked with Hollywood Racks and they confirm the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Carrier # HRF2-3 as a fit for your 2006 Subaru Outback Wagon.
On a lot of vehicles with spoilers trunk racks aren't recommended because of the pressure they put on them. Hollywood Racks designed this rack so that if a vehicle does have a spoiler it would not get touched when this rack is installed.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar
# HRBA-PRO to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
