Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Fits perfectly on our Lexus CT200h. Only on the old LS400, the side straps have to be fastened to the wheel arch edge, since the upper trunklid gap is to narrow for inserting the strap hooks. Mounting of two bikes is (with some routine) quickly done, and they stay safe even for longer and faster routes. For transporting three (mountain) bikes, though, the design doesn't seem big and robust enough. Nevertheless, the price-benefit-fun ratios are way better than reasonable.
The side / bottom straps are seriously lacking. It has those straps you would find on a backpack, making it difficult to securely tighten down because of the angle. I'd usually have to pre-tighten them to a certain length, then forcefully shove the whole rack until it clipped onto my car. They really just need to be ratchet straps. Even then, one of the side straps came off while driving after hitting a small pothole and the whole thing dangled to one side - Luckily I was in a parking lot. I've also never been able to fit 3 regular bikes, only 2. It's really only a capacity of 3 if you have 2-3 slim bikes. The rubber is so wide that it makes it nearly impossible to slide certain bikes on. If you have a step thru bike with one of those crossbar adapters, I wouldn't even bother with trying this. Unfortunately I don't use this anymore since I'd be constantly worrying the whole thing will come off whenever I drive.

Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
This bike rack is perfect for our Kia carnival minivan. Very sturdy and does not put pressure on the back of the van.
Great product so far! Easy to install and adjust. A little tricky to load 2 large handlebar mountain bikes and a third smaller bike, but we just turned them sideways with the front wheels taken off. We had racks on bikes which were probably the impediment. We got them on though! Love how it folds up easy for quick storage. Works great on 2014 Subaru Outback.

Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Perfect for my 2019 RAV-4. I like this product because it allows me to drive and park without having to worry about height clearances in the city and parking was still navigable. Definitely worth the money!
I am really satisfied with this bike rack. It is easy and fast to install and take down. It is very secure. And it's great that there is a trunk lock for the rack itself and a built in bike lock.
Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
Speaker 1: Today, in our 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima full back two bike rack for trunk mounts, part number Y02634.We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look here. Starting out with the arms, on the end of one we're going to have the Yakima bottle opener. However, on the other end, we're gonna have an integrated cable lock, which you wrap around the bike in the front and attach it to this point here to secure your bikes to the bike rack.The cradles are stationary, but they do have a super-cush 00:00:30 material where the bike is going to make contact with the rack, and this is to help prevent any scratches or anything like that getting to your frame.It's gonna grip your bike at three points. We'll have to zip strips up at the top, as well as one off to the side, and that's gonna be your anti-sway cradle to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth and causing bike-to-bike contact.Now, when it comes to loading and unloading bikes, what I recommend is you take that anti-sway cradle, and you push it up all the way, and that's gonna make unloading and loading much easier. You're not gonna have to go back and forth and shimmy it off when you're installing your bikes.Alright, lets go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima half back two bike rack, for truck mounts. Part number Y02636. We already have a bike installed on the rack, let's take a closer look. We'll start with the arms. At then ends of both the arms, we're going to have the bottle openers. The cradles themselves are in fixed positions, but they do have the super cushioned material to help protect the frame of your bike once it's being installed, so it doesn't get any scratches or abrasions on it, while installing it.The anti-sway cradles do push up and out of the way, and that's going to make loading and unloading the bike much easier, so you don't have to kind of shimmy it back and forth to get it.
