Question:

We have 2 bikes we need to take on a 10Hr drive and I wanted to see which bike rack would work best for this. What rack is compatible with our car?

Expert Reply:

The best trunk bike rack we offer for your 2007 Nissan Murano is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV.

What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected cables also last longer.

The OutWay comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
