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

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.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Best 3-Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2017 BMW X1The best 3-bike truck rack that fits your 2017 BMW X1 is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 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 ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position to deter theft...
view full answer... - 3 Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for a 2010 GMC AcadiaThe trunk mounted bike rack that I like the most and is a confirmed fit for your 2010 GMC Acadia would be the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH56BV. ThOutWay 3 includes a number of advanced features, including the patented Thule Fit-Dial system which makes precise installation simple and repeatable. This carrier uses only 2 high-strength cables (rather than the 4-6 wear-prone nylon straps) to secure to your vehicle and it includes locks both for the carrier itself and for your loaded bikes....
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Chevy TahoeThule does not list the OutWay # TH56BV as a fit for your 2013 Chevy Tahoe. But there is a 3-bike rack that will fit. It is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack, # HRF2-3. This rack has an extra arm piece at the top to move the straps up and over any trim pieces or spoilers that would interfere with the hitch. Another option to carry 3 bikes on the Tahoe is to use a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. Your Tahoe should have a factory trailer hitch so you would just need the bike...
view full answer... - Can the Thule OutWay Carry a Mens and Kids Bike at the Same Time without an Adapter BarIn all likelihood you would need to use an adapter bar # 64005 for the kids bike, especially if it is under 20 inches, on most 2-arm bike carriers including the OutWay # TH56BV. The width between the bars isn't an issue but carrying the bikes level would be. Without an adapter the bikes could be secured but the kids bike would likely be at an odd angle. That is what I have to do with the son's bike. Its really a piece of cake. I have included a link to a video review showing how the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1995 Ford Mustang GT with Dual ExhaustThe Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11041, is only designed to fit all V6 models of the Ford Mustang, so it will not fit your 1995 GT with dual exhaust because it has a V8 engine. 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...
view full answer... - Will the ThulOutWay Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Fit a 2010 Volkswagen Passat WagonYes, the Thule OutWay trunk mount bike carrier # TH56BV will fit your 2010 Volkswagen Passat wagon. I have linked a video review for you. 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 # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2013 Nissan Rouge with Spoiler at Top of Rear HatchFor your 2013 Nissan Rogue with the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch the only 3-bike trunk mount carrier that I recommend is 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...

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 # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would...
view full answer... - What Bike Rack do You Recommend for a 2010 Lexus GS 350 SUV?For a heavier (50 pound) electric bike that is easy to load on your vehicle, I recommend a hitch rack. For the rack itself, a great option is the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y96FR. The OnRamp has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 66-pounds per bike and includes an integrated ramp that allows for you to roll the bike onto the securing platform without lifting the bike off the ground. Another great feature of the OnRamp is the securing...
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... - Will 16 and 12 inch Kids Bikes Fit with an Adapter on a Thule Trunk Rack on a 2000 Toyota AvalonThe Thule OutWay 3 bike carrier, # TH56BV, and 2 bike carrier, # TH45JV, are both listed as a fit for your 2000 Toyota Avalon, see link. When using an adapter bar like # Y02531, you need to have the proper clearance to install the adapter between the seat post and handle bar gooseneck. The adapter bar I recommended measures 14-1/2 inches at its shortest so it will work with the 15-1/2 inch measurement you listed for your daughters bike.
view full answer... - Will The Thule Outway Bike Rack Fit A 2004 Toyota Corolla?We have the correct Thule Outway for your 2004 Toyota Corolla, but the part you linked is not a confirmed fit. You will instead want to go with Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH45JV or the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV. This is a really nice bike rack that has built-in locks to keep your bikes and bike carrier secured to the vehicle. I recommend going with the 3-bike version just so you have the extra capacity in case you decide to bring an extra person...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount 3-Bike Rack for a 2014 Acura TSX Sport WagonI do have an option for you but the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack part # TH56BV will not fit your 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. Instead, I recommend the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack part # Y02638 so long as you do not have the power liftgate. This is actually the only trunk mount 3-bike rack I have found to be a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The HangOut has anti sway cradles to keep your bikes from making contact with the vehicle/each other, adjustable arms to ensure the bikes are carried at a...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Acura TLI have a solution for you, but I checked with Yakima and the Quickback part # Y02622 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your 2003 Acura TL so I cannot safely recommend it for you. Instead I would recommend the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack part # TH56BV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 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...
view full answer... - Will Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mounted Bike Rack fit a Mercedes-Benz E350The Thule OutWay 3-bike # TH56BV will fit your 2006 Mercedes-Benz sedan, wonderfully. It will also allow for the full carrying capacity of 3 bikes. Unfortunately, the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV is not a compatible fit with your 2007 Mercedes-Benz station wagon. Thule states that the bike carrier is not recommended because the device should not be mounted directly to glass or plastic trim covering the glass, which my research shows your wagon is equipped with. As you may know the manufactures...

For a 2 bike rack I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. This rack has a lot of useful features to make it secure and easy to install and remove. The OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps rather than 6 straps to secure the rack to the vehicle. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. The 3 bike version, which I personally own and can attest to...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitches and Bike Rack for a 2009 Honda CR-V and 2007 Subaru Outback WagonBetween the 2009 Honda CR-V and the 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon there are no trunk mount bike carriers that fit both vehicles. What this means is that the best option would be to use trailer hitches and a hitch mount bike carrier. If you want to explore this option then for the CR-V you can use hitch # 75547. And for the Outback wagon, if it is NOT a Sport you can use # 75560. If it is a Sport then the only option is # C11497 for models with single exhaust. And to use a bike rack you would...

A hitch fit isn't available for the SE model. If you're looking for a hitch mounted bike rack, the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360 provides all the important features like sturdy rubber cradles and straps to hold the bikes securely and prevent them from swaying back and forth during travel and an anti-rattle hitch bolt to prevent the rack from...

Check out the installation instructions and review video that I attached for this product for you to also. If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT.

view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendations for Carrying a Single and Tandem Bikes on a 2008 Toyota PriusI checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV is confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Prius. The biggest limiting factor for whether or not you could carry your tandem bike plus your 2 other bikes will be the weight of your bikes and the length of your tandem bike. The weight limit for this rack is 99 pounds, which I believe you would pretty easily exceed with your tandem bike plus your other two bikes. What you could do is put your two bikes on the # TH56BV, and then...

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...
