Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.

The rack is great just what I was looking for.
The only issue I see is the straps are plastic so after using them for a little bit they broke. I had to order replacements. Let’s see how much time they last!

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.

Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!

The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

view full answer... - Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Nissan AltimaFirst, all of the trailer hitches for the 2006 Nissan Altima are Class I trailer hitches that can carry a maximum of 2 bikes. To carry 3 bikes, I recommend going with a trunk mount bike rack. The best rack and the easiest rack to install is the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV. It uses retractable cables that make installation and removal fast and simple. For the women's bikes, in order to carry them more level, you will need to use bike adapter bars on them, # TH982XT. I have included a link to...

view full answer... - Trunk and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for a 2012 Kia OptimaThe Thule OutWay bike racks, # TH45JV, # TH56BV, and # TH65JV are excellent bike racks with many great features, but they are a little pricey. Another bike rack that you may be interested in from Thule is the Archway 3 Bike Carrier, # TH9010XT. This bike rack uses 4 rubber pads that rest on your vehicle to prevent scratching or damage to your vehicle. This bike rack will fit on your 2012 Kia Optima and gives extra room underneath to accommodate for a factory spoiler. You may also want...
view full answer... - Fit of Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV on 2012 Volkswagen Jetta Sport WagenAccording to Thule, the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mounted bike rack, part # TH56BV will fit your 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen. The OutWay is extremely easy to install and remove, using unique ratcheting cables instead of the clumsy straps and buckles used by other trunk mounted racks. Be sure that you DO NOT use the rear wiper while the rack is in place. For women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a Kia SorentoI checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV, is recommended for use on most year models of the Kia Sorento, see instructions link. If you could send me the exact year of your vehicle I would be glad to check and let you know if your vehicle is included in the fit list. The OutWay rack is the one I would purchase if purchasing a trunk mounted rack. This rack is very easy to install and remove because it uses rubber coated cables and a fit dial system that makes installation a breeze.
view full answer... - Thule OutWay Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack Fit on a 2011 Nissan RogueThe Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack, # TH56BV, will fit on your 2011 Nissan Rogue as long as you do not have a rear spoiler. Thule says the clips must be placed in the gap at the front edge of the top of the hatch door and the lower clips should be placed at the bottom edge of the door. The rear wiper should not be used when the carrier is mounted. If you do have a rear spoiler, then there are no trunk mounted bike racks available for your vehicle because the rear spoiler cannot support the...

The Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV would also be a great choice for you. Instead of the 4-6 strap and buckle attachment system used by other racks, the OutWay uses only 2 retractable cables to attach to the vehicle. Installation and removal is unbelievably simple and takes only seconds. When the rack is installed, do NOT use your rear window wiper. For women's bikes or bikes with...
view full answer... - Bike Rack and Accessories Recommendation for a 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Carrying 3 to 4 BikesThe Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV, would make a great choice for carrying 3 bikes on the rear of your 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan. The trunk mount racks are a good option, if you will not need to access the trunk area of the vehicle while traveling with the bikes on the vehicle. You would need to purchase a bike adapter bar, like part # TH982XT, for each bike that does not have a horizontal top tube that will slide over the bike rack arms. We have a video, see link, that shows this...
view full answer... - Trunk and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for a 2011 Dodge CaliberThe Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack, # TH56BV, will fit on your 2011 Dodge Caliber as long as it is not the SRT4 model with the rear spoiler. The clips will attach to the top and bottom of the rear hatch and a spoiler cannot support the weight of a trunk mounted bike carrier. If you have a rear spoiler, then I would recommend a hitch like our Draw-TiteTrailer Hitch, # 24769, and one of our most popular hitch mounted bike racks the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack, # TH9058. You may also want to get...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Trunk Mount Bike Racks for a 2009 Subaru Outback and 2005 Toyota PriusThe Thule OutWay, # TH56BV, will fit the 2005 Toyota Prius, but it will not fit a 2009 Subaru Outback. At this time, there are no trunk mount bike rack options for a 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon. For the Outback, I recommend a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. If it is not a Sport model, I recommend Hidden Hitch trailer hitch # 87446. This is a Class III trailer hitch that will allow many options in the way of bike racks. The most popular 3 bike rack is # S63360. If you have a Sport...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Hyundai TucsonYes, Thule does list the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, as a fit for a 2009 Hyundai Tucson. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Thule adapter bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works. I have also included a link to all of the trunk mount bike racks that will fit your Tucson.
view full answer... - What is the Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2012 Chevrolet VoltThe best trunk mount bike rack for a 2012 Chevrolet Volt is the Thule OutWay bike racks because they provide features and conveniences that their competition doesn't offer all in one package. The OutWay comes in a 2 bike version, # TH45JV, and a 3 bike version, # TH56BV. As far as fit is concerned, all of the trunk mount bike rack options that fit your Volt will mount in almost the same fashion. What sets the Raceway Pro apart is that is uses 2 retractable coated metal cables rather than...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Rack fit a 2015 Porsche CayenneI wasn't sure if you meant to ask if the Thule OutWay # TH56BV would fit a 2013 or a 2015 Porsche Cayenne, but since it fits both year the answer is yes it will fit. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Mercedes C-Class SedanFor your 2016 Mercedes C-Class sedan the Thule OutWay Pro part # TH56BV that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would be the best option for a trunk rack as it is the nicest rack available. This rack is also very good at fitting unique frame designs since the arms can be moved closer to together if needed or can move up and down independently. The adapter bar I would recommend though is the part # UB01 as it has a latching system that seems to be a bit easier to use. As long as you...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with Factory SpoilerI do have a recommendation for you but unfortunately the Thule OutWay, part # TH56BV, is not confirmed to fit your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. Thule doesn't have any 3-bike racks that are a fit. Unfortunately, we do not have any 3-bike racks that are specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers. We have the 2 bike carrier by Hollywood Racks that will work with most factory spoilers. It is the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 bike carrier # HRF6-2. It carries up to 2 bikes that weigh up...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 3 Bikes and a 2016 Hyundai TucsonYes, for your 2016 Hyundai Tucson I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar...
view full answer... - Availability of 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver to Carry Bike Rack on 2012 VW JettaAlthough none of our hitch manufacturers offer a 2 inch receiver that would work with a VW Passat, I do have an option for you. I would agree with wanting to avoid using an adapter. Using an adapter would lower the 200 lb tongue weight cacpcity of the hitch by half to 100 lbs. THis would mean that the weight of the racks and the bikes paced upon it could not exceed 100 lbs. Also, Yakima states in the instructions for most of their bike racks that they do not recommend using a hitch adapter. Rather...

The Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 is also a confirmed fit for your vehicle and since it is specifically designed to fit over spoilers like what you have it would be the best solution. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2005 Mini Cooper S ConvertibleFor a trunk mount bike carrier for your 2005 Mini Cooper convertible you have a few options. For a 2-bike carrier you could use the Expedition # HRF6-2 or the Over-the-Top # HRF2. For three bikes you could use the Over-the-Top 3, # HRF2-3. Since the Over-the-Top carriers are designed primarily to reach over spoilers, I would go with one of the Expedition carriers for your Mini Cooper. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a...

The best choice from the ease-of-use standpoint would be the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV (2 bike) or # TH56BV (3 bike). The ratcheting cables used to connect the bike to the vehicle are extremely easy to use, and allow the rack to be installed or removed in a matter of seconds. The mounting cables are lockable, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2015 Kia Soul without Rear SpoilerThe most popular 2-bike trunk mount carrier for owners of the 2015 Kia Soul is the Thule Passage # TH910XT. But if you are looking for the carrier that is the easiest to install, has the most features, and has the most security then I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. The OutWay is by far the easiest trunk mount carrier I have ever used (which is why I own one!) and that is due to its 2 retractable cables. Other carriers use 4-6 straps to secure to the vehicle whereas the OutWay and...
view full answer... - Can Rear Hatch be Opened with Thule OutWay Pro Trunk Mount Bike Rack InstalledI wouldn't recommend leaving a trunk mount bike rack like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV for 2 bikes or the # TH56BV for 3 bikes on your 1999 Toyota 4Runner and opening the rear hatch. There is a pretty good chance the bike rack will come loose and fall. Plus, your rear hatch is not designed to be opened with extra weight on it.

If you would like to carry bikes on your GT, we have the Thule OutWay Trunk bike rack for 2 bikes # TH45JV or the # TH56BV for 3 bikes. Also if your Mustang is not a convertible, you could use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B and then add a bike rack our cargo...
