Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms - MPG2142

3-Bike trunk rack is perfect for riders who occasionally take family or friends out to the trail. Quick-release hubs let you adjust the rack to fit the contour of your trunk and soft pads on the base of the rack protect your vehicle's finish.

by:

Not bad. My first rack for my first XXL bike (Trek FX3 disc). At first was annoyed at the sparse instructions and the “fact” that the top straps weren’t long enough to reach my trunk’s top hinge. Went to collect my bike anyway and the shop assistant showed me that it was total user error: I had the straps in backwards and doubled.
Anyway...she showed me how and we tightened it. Racked the bike and drove the 12 miles home. Wasn’t sure about it (and it’s not the best rack I’ve seen) but it’s simple and does the job for me. Not driving cross country with it but even if I did, I think it’d be secure.

Pros: simple, secure, not too big at all/easily stored.

Cons: not many bells and whistles, doesn’t keep the bike far enough away from the car (pedal might bump the paint depending on how crazy you drive)



by:

Great product selection. Easy installation. I recommend it to everyone.



by:

The bike rack works some of the time, but repeatedly needs adjusting during use and when not in use. If you lift your trunk up to go in it, the bike rack slams into your rear window. This is a hazard. I had to go through extreme lengths just to secure it to my car. If one of the latches fell off, which it frequently does, the whole thing needs readjusting. The blocks that are supposed to protect your cars paint job don’t work. It scratched my paint job on my car up terribly, as a result of the rubber blocks flipping upside down. I do NOT recommend this product. Buy another bike rack. This one’s too much of a headache!

For trunk mounted bike racks you will want to check the adjustments with every use. It is not recommended to open the tailgate then the bike rack is installed. To help reduce the chances of scratching the pain I recommend cleaning the racks pads and the place on the vehicle that they come into contact with. You can also opt to add a hitch to the vehicle and use a hitch mounted bike rack. In the short term it would be more expensive however it would eliminate the issues that have been described.

2010 Ford Focus

I have a 2010 Ford Focus SES with a small spoiler on the back and I was having trouble finding a rack that would fit MULTIPLE bikes that could fit my car without crushing my poor spoiler. This one did the trick! It also fit my boyfriend's car easily, and seems like it would fit a whole variety of cars.

This rack is super adjustable and easily fits 3 bikes. I've had it for a year now and have loved using it. Big thanks to etrailer.com for making it so easy to find this!



by:

I just received the bike rack and put it together with the help from the video provided by etrailer. It was very helpful as I'm not the most mechanical. The service was excellent.I ordered the wrong bike rack. I call customer service and Amy E took care of my mistake. She even helped me selection the one that would fit my car. Plus she called and gave me the instructions on how to return the wrong one I ordered. I really appreciate the time Amy took to correct my problem. Plus the bike rack looks great!



by:

High quality product; I have a Honda Fit and I would say that it will work but does not seem super secure. I am able to successfully use 2/3 sets of straps.

You mentioned that you were able to use two thirds of the straps and I wanted to know more details on the other straps? Would you be able to send a picture of the rack installed?



by:

I bought this bike rack as a gift for my son after he bought his first car. It fits nicely and is easy to install. It’s also easy to mount the bike on the rack. I feel like it was a great value for the cost. My son is happy with it!



by:

Pretty straightforward assembly. No tools needed. My initial use of this (with one bike) the rack seemed pretty stable. Was delivered in a timely fashion (ordered on a TUE, delivered FRI). I would recommend this to any families looking for a multibike rack for their vehicle.



by:

It took a little effort to stop the straps from slipping, but after everything was seated securely and tightened I was able to take my bicycle on the highway without a problem. After months of use there are still no marks at all on the car.



by:

Works great the only thing missing is rubber coating on the hooks on the trunk
Would help to protect the car from unnecessary dings

Thank you for your review. I apologize about the poor instructions. We have an install video that you can watch to make sure your rack is on correctly. The only difference between the strap placing on a sedan vs an SUV is that on an SUV the straps will go up to the top of your hatch and the rack bar will be sitting about at the license plate area rather than the bottom of the trunk.



by:

I think it's very well-conceived and executed. My daughter has preternatural cleverness with these sorts of things, sort of like a character in *Dune*, and she helped me install it (she's 9). Since then, success!



by:

I purchased this item a year ago, since May 2021 but never used it. Nevertheless, it appears to be fine.



by:

Although it is installed, I cannot use it because I had to order an adaptor. I am a woman and the rack only fits men's bikes. Would have been nice to know this when I ordered it. The "sale" price is not as much of a sale since I spent $[XX] for the adaptor.

Works great we love it!

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Mazda 5 for use with Class II Accessories and Adapter
    Since the Draw-Tite # 24874 has restrictive tab in it, it still may prevent you from using any type of adapter for 2" hitch accessories in a 1-1/4" hitch. Because of that reason I recommend going with the Curt Class I Hitch # C11127 since it does not have the restrictive weld stop that would keep you from freely using a 1-1/4" adapter for your 2" receiver accessories. Because of the limited capacity when using adapter accessories, if you'd like an option to carry more bikes I recommend...

  • Do You Recommend the Malone Hanger 3 or the Malone Runway 3 for My 2021 Hyundai Elantra?
    Our installation team here at etrailer have confirmed that both the Malone Hanger 3 # MPG2139 and the Malone Runway 3 # MPG2142 will fit on your 2021 Hyundai Elantra. With that being said, I would recommend the Hanger 3 over the Runway 3 for two main reasons. The first reason is that the extra top bar of the Hanger 3 will give you more stabilization and security of the rack during transport. Secondly, the Hanger 3 comes with an integrated cable lock that will deter the theft of your bikes...

  • Does Malone RunWay 3-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack fit 2017 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
    So long as your 2017 Subaru Impreza hatchback does NOT have a spoiler, it is perfectly compatible with the Malone RunWay 3-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack # MPG2142. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you plan on carrying kids' bikes or bikes with a step-through or alternative frame you will need to give the bikes a horizontal mounting point by using an adapter, the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005.

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2016 Nissan Rogue with Stock Spoiler
    Since there isn't a trunk mounted bike rack that fits your 2016 Nissan Rogue (including the Malone you referenced) due to the spoiler your best option is a hitch mounted bike rack. For that the first thing you need is a hitch like the etrailer.com part # E98846 for an easy and secure place to mount the bike rack. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite,...

  • Malone RunWay Top Straps Don't Seem Long Enough for 2013 Toyota Prius
    I do not have a picture showing the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack # MPG2142 on a 2013 Toyota Prius but I can tell you that Malone does not have specific instructions for vehicles so getting it just right is going to take some trial and error. I recommend getting the top straps in place first and then going from there. If you have the bottom leg of the carrier resting on the bumper then it should probably come up a little to rest at the bottom part of the license plate well.

  • Best Value Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Murano
    The best value trunk mounted bike rack we have for your 2018 Nissan Murano is the Kuat Highline part # HIT2S overall. You get one of the nicest trunk mounted bike racks for just a little more than the really cheap options. For as nice of a bike as you have this would be your best value that would still work really well. The cheapest rack though is the Malone RunWay 3 part # MPG2142 which is a confirmed fit. Since you have a womens frame bike you'll want a bike adapter bar to make carrying...

  • Will the Malone RunWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Ford Edge
    Yes, the Malone RunWay # MPG2142 has been tested and confirmed to fit on a 2011 Ford Edge by Malone. This has a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike (for a total of 99 lbs) so I do recommend checking the weight of your bikes as all other bike rack options are going to be very similar (maybe up to 105 lbs). This bike rack doesn't come with locks but you can add them using the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 and the LoopLocks Cable Lock # MPG2168. You may also be interested in the Softride...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For 2017 BMW 330xi Sport Wagon
    I have another option for you, but at this time there is not a trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW 330xi Sport Wagon. With that said you can still use a trunk mount bike rack to carry your bikes. I recommend the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2142 which can carry up to 3 bikes weighing up to 33lbs each, and is confirmed to fit your vehicle. I included a video of the # MPG2142 for you to take a look at.

  • Recommended Bike Carrying Option for 2013 Toyota RAV4
    The easiest and most secure way to transport a bike with your vehicle would be a hitch mounted bike rack. Let's begin with the hitch. For a 2013 RAV4, I'd recommend the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98864. This hitch features a 2 inch hitch opening which is the most common and will give you the most flexibility in choosing hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The bike rack you'll need will depend on how many bikes you're wanting to transport and what...

  • Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack for 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara
    For your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara we have the Malone Runway 3 bike rack part # MPG2142 as a confirmed fit that would work great. It is a 3 bike and you specified a 2 bike but using a 3 bike rack to carry 2 bikes gives you a little more room to work with and makes loading/unloading bikes easier. There isn't a 2 bike option that fits.

    I do have an option for you but the Kuat Highline 3 Bike Rack part # HIT3S is not a fit for a 2019 Infiniti QX60. Instead, I recommend the Malone Runway 3 # MPG2142 which is actually the only trunk mount 3 bike rack option we have for a Infiniti QX60 due to the design of the rear bumper/hatch. That said, the Runway is an excellent option that won't damage the rear spoiler, has anti-sway cradles to prevent the bikes from coming into contact with each other, and it has foam pads to protect...

  • Platform Style Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Honda Crosstour

We have the two bike Yakima HangOut # Y02637 and a few 3 bike options # Y02638, # MPG2139, and # MPG2142. These are currently the only fits confirmed for your vehicle.

  • Does the Thule Passage 3-Bike Trunk Rack Fit on a 2016 Mazda CX-5
    I have a solution for you. First, though, the Thule Passage, part # TH911XT, is not a confirmed fit for your 2016 Mazda CX-5. Instead, I recommend the Malone Runway, part # MPG2142. It's a 3-bike rack like the Passage and can handle bikes up to 33 pounds each. It's a confirmed fit for your CX-5. I've linked to a video review of it below.

  • Can the Malone Runway Hold Childrens Bikes on a 2014 Chevy Equinox
    To get some bikes such as smaller children's bikes to fit the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # MPG2142 will likely require the use of adapter bars such as # 64005. The problem on smaller bikes is that there isn't much space under the top bike frame tube to fit over the arms on the bike rack. A strategically placed bike adapter bar can solve that problem. The other option is to go with a bike rack with arms that are closer together and for that I recommend...

  • Is the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack Going to Damage My Trunk?
    I understand your concern. Fortunately, we have not heard about any damage to vehicles' trunks when using the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2142. From the weight distribution of the rack, most of the force is actually allayed to the bottom bar that rests above your bumper and the hooks that attach into the front of the trunk. The angle in your photograph looks normal. I went ahead and attached a picture of our expert installation to give you a comparison.

With that being said, we cannot confirm with certainty whether it will work with your vehicle.

Unfortunately we do not have any hitches that will fit your vehicle. If you already have a hitch, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This fits 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, and can hold up to four bikes. This rack is easy to install and folds down when not in use to save space. Note that depending...

Therefore, a better option for you is the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2142 as you can angle the arms up to provide more clearance.
