Expert Reply:
If you are looking for the best trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2011 Mercedes ML350, look no further than the Thule OutWay # TH45JV, or the 3-bike version # TH56BV. This rack uses a new cradling system designed to absorb vibration and limit the amount of movement on your bikes. It also includes and adapter that prevents the bikes from making contact with your Mercedes or each other.
The OutWay attaches to your ML350 with four retractable cables and has adjustable arms to ensure your bikes will always be level. It has integrated security measures as well, with locking covers over the release levers which secure the rack to your vehicle and an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack. This is a lightweight, 13 lb rack which makes it easy to handle, and it has a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike.
Additionally, please note that when using any hanging rack like the OutWay you'll need bike frame adapter bar # 64005 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame or you want to carry a small children's bike. The bar will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.
