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: Ryan11/10/2020
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)

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

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.
by: Tee Doubleyou04/03/2022
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.

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: Terry04/16/2022
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: William09/11/2020
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!

Awesome fit and delivered early!!!’ Yeah! I needed it for moving cross country and it works perfectly!
by: David 04/26/2021
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: Abraham04/11/2022
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: Leffe05/02/2021
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.

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!

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

by: Julie09/20/2021
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.

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.

You can use the 2-bike model # TH45JV. It is important to follow the installation instructions and fit information from Thule so the bike rack is secured properly to your vehicle.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point.

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...

I went ahead and called Malone, and they confirmed that they have not tested the Malone Runway 3 Bike Rack on the 2020 Infiniti QX50. With that being said, we cannot confirm with certainty whether it will work with your vehicle. However, if you want a similar-style bike rack that will definitely fit your 2020 Infiniti QX50, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02633. One of the benefits of the FullBack over the Runway...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Carrying Option for 2013 Toyota RAV4The 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...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Mazda 5 for use with Class II Accessories and AdapterSince 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...
view full answer... - Bike Rack for 2018 Infiniti QX50 with Spoiler Malone recommends that Malone RunWay # MPG2142 shouldn't be used with vehicles with a spoiler as it could damage the spoiler. Instead, you will want to go with a hitch mounted bike rack. 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...
view full answer... - Will the Hollywood Racks Express Work On a 2003 Toyota Matrix with 29 Inch Tire Men's Bike It is possible that you could use the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier part # HRE3 on your 2003 Toyota Matrix but since this is a rather small vehicle and the arms on the Express are not adjustable, you might run into issues with the men's bike hitting the pavement because of the larger tires. 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.
view full answer... - Recommended Malone Trunk Rack for 2018 Subaru CrosstrekI have a solution for you, but the Malone RunWay 3 # MPG2142 is not a confirmed fit on the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. Instead, you'll want to use the Malone Hanger 3 # MPG2139, which is a similar rack and has adjustable arms to help. The Hanger 3 is a bit better option too, since it comes with locks integrated, so it will keep your bikes secured to the rack. I've linked a review video of this rack for you to have a look at.

The main difference between the two is that the Hanger has locks for security of the bikes and another pivot point for greater adjustability with the vehicle. The greater adjustability means a better fit and less contact. The Hanger however is a bit heavier at 15 lbs compared to the Runway at 9 lbs. I recommend the Hanger due to the added security and...

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...
