Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.



by:

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.



by:

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!



by:

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.



by:

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!



by:

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



by:

Pretty straight-forward on how to affix to trunk, any questions are covered nicely throughout the instruction booklets. Once fastened, everything is confidently snug.
The only thing I was initially concerned about was the potentiality that the clamps might not fit around my frame (being a thicker-framed MTB). I actually found a YouTube video of somebody reviewing the item and they actually showed some good ideas for how to fit the bike securely to the rack. Once you get that dialed-in, it's as sound as a pound. Haven't had any issues with the rack and don't even worry about it or the bike while driving. Worth the purchase.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan and a Bike Rack
    For your 2009 Honda Accord sedan I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11496. With the other hitch options there is an additional part you would need to be able to use a bike rack but not with this hitch. This and all of the hitches for your Accord are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. Class I trailer hitches are rated for a maximum of 2 bikes because it cannot handle additional weight that is further away from the receiver. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks for you....

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Infiniti QX60
    The Thule OutWay 3-bike # TH56BV would be what I would recommend for your 2014 Infiniti QX60. It is a confirmed fit and the nicest rack around. 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 ends to flap around....

  • Will The Thule OutWay 3 Fit A 2011 Lexus RX 350
    I do have a solution for you. While the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV is not a confirmed fit for your 2011 Lexus RX 350. My recommendation would be the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. This rack is sturdy, capable of carrying 3 bikes at 33 lbs each and yet is still lightweight at 11 lbs which makes mounting to your Lexus easier. Saris provides a limited lifetime warranty as well so they stand behind their product quality. If you're transporting kids or alternative frame bikes,...

  • Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack for Honda Insight
    A trunk or hatch-mounted bike rack is not recommended for the first generation (2000-2006 model year) Honda Insight due to the fact that the rack would have to attach to the rear glass, which does not have sufficient strength to support the rack and the bikes installed on it. Because no receiver hitches or roof rack options are available for that vehicle, I am afraid I cannot provide any suggestions for carrying a bike with the first generation Insight. If your Insight is of the second...

  • 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...

  • Trunk Mount 3-Bike Rack for a 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
    I 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...

  • Bike Rack Compatibility with 2017 BMW 220i
    The Thule OutWay # TH56BV is not a confirmed fit on your 2017 BMW 220i. For your vehicle, the inside of your tailgate does require a different fit. I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 or 3 Bike # Y02633. When you look at the attached instructions the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode on your vehicle. This allows the inside of the hatch to carry the weight and not the outside trim. If you already have the OutWay...

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Fit a 2004 Volvo C70 Convertible
    Hollywood Racks does not recommend any of their racks for your 2005 Volvo C70 Convertible. Instead, I would recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV. This trunk rack is perfect for carrying 3 bikes on your convertible. It attaches easily with 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your Volvo XC70. It even works well with most spoilers. The OutWay is by far the easiest trunk mounted rack to use since it uses only 2...

  • How To Carry 4 Bikes On A 2008 Mazda 5
    I do have a couple options for you but Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame part # 24773 that fits the 2008 Mazda 5 are designed to only carry 2 bikes because of it's limited tongue weight rating. The weight of the bikes and bike rack is all considered tongue weight on the hitch and putting 4 bikes on a rack in a Class I hitch would create too much leverage and possibly damage the hitch or vehicle. With that being said, I recommend to get a 2 bike rack for the Class I...

  • Do I Need To Use The Spoiler Support Straps For The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack
    We do recommend always using the spoiler support strap for additional stability and safety. Loosening the strap can be done fairly quickly, even quicker once you get the hang of it. From the looks of the spoiler on the back of a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV you will definitely want to use the spoiler support strap kit that comes with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH56BV.

  • What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2021 Kia Niro EV?
    I have a great bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a hitch that will fit your EV model of 2021 Kia Niro. However, a great alternative solution is a trunk rack. For that route, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 # TH45JV or the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. Both OutWay racks have a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and comes with one-key system locks to deter the theft of your bikes from the rack as well as the rack from your vehicle. If you have bikes that have...

  • Is the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Carrier # TH56BV the Best Bike Rack Option for a 2011 GMC Acadia
    Yes, Thule does recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH56BV, for your 2011 GMC Acadia. I recently had the chance to install this rack on a vehicle and it is the easiest to install and remove trunk mount rack that I have used. One hint is to wash the attachment points on the bike rack and vehicle before installing the rack to prevent damage to the vehicle finish. Since your Acadia does not have a hitch, the OutWay # TH56BV would be a good option, but my personal...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 Honda Odyssey
    The safest way to carry bikes is by using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike carrier. Trunk mount carriers only go up to 3 bikes, any more than that and it would put way too much stress on the attachment points on the vehicle. And the roof is probably not wide enough for all 4 bikes, let alone able to support the weight of 4 bikes. So the options are a combination of a trunk mount and roof mount set up or a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike carrier. I recommend the simplicity of a...

  • Availability of 2 Bike Carrier Rack for a 2011 Kia Soul
    The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack, part # TH45JV will fit your 2011 Kia Soul. It can carry 2 bikes and has a weight capacity of 66 lbs. This bike rack is easy to install and is one of our best sellers. I would also recommend the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack, part # Y02637. This is a trunk mounted 2 bike rack that has a weight capacity of 60 lbs. It is also one of the easiest to install. If you are going to be carrying women's or children's bikes that do not have the horizontal...

  • 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
    If your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a rear spoiler, and from my research it most likely is, you might want to consider the Hollywood Rack Over the Top # HRF2. Currently we only have this bike rack in 2 bike configuration. This bike rack is one of our newest products and is specifically designed to be used on vehicles with a rear spoiler. The design of this trunk mounted bike rack reduces the stress that can be placed on the rear spoiler when using a trunk mount bike rack. The...

  • Best Trunk-Mount 3-Bike Rack for 2018 Mazda 3 Hatchback
    Hatch-mount bike carriers for your 2018 Mazda 3 Hatchback are available in 2-bike and 3-bike capacities. No 4-bike trunk racks are made since they would simply be too heavy for a car's sheet metal trunk or hatch. If you can get by with a 3-bike capacity then the rack I recommend is the Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV. This USA-made carrier is among the best trunk racks made. It features molded nylon construction that is strong yet lightweight; built-in locks are included for the rack itself...

  • Mounting an FS Mountain Bike on Thule OutWay Bike Rack on 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack # TH45JV will accommodate varying bike frame designs, including your mountain bike, but it may require the use of an adapter bar like the # TH982XT in order to fit over the arms and ride level. According to customer feedback, the Thule adapter bar works much better than other adapter bars for mountain bikes with the Raceway bike rack. The OutWay 2 has a maximum weight capacity of 66 pounds so you may want to weigh your bikes to determine if they will prove...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2013 Audi S4 Sedan
    The trunk-mount bike racks recommended for your 2013 Audi S4 Sedan can be seen on the linked page. These include both 2- and 3-bike carriers in both the hanging and platform styles. In general it is wise to use as lightweight a rack as possible in order to minimize the weight load on your trunk, but it is also true that the racks with the best construction and the most included features (like built-in locks) tend to weigh more. Better racks also tend to be easier to mount on the car. A...

  • Available 3-Bike Rack Options for 2010 Toyota Highlander
    Due to the fact that the support hooks would need to attach directly to the glass in the rear tailgate, none of our bike rack manufacturers recommend using a trunk mount rack on your vehicle. The glass lacks the strength to support the weight of the bikes and the carrier, and could shatter unexpectedly. This leaves a roof mount or a hitch mount option. If you have a bare roof, Rhino Rack the Vortex Aero Roof Rack that could be constructed using # RRVA137S-2 54 inch crossbars, the # RRRLKVA...

  • Comparing Installation of Saris Bones 3 To Yakima and Thule Trunk Mounted Rack on 2008 Lexus IS 250
    I can help answer the questions you have about the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL. You are correct that the plastic ratcheting cradles will make attaching the bike to the rack easier than the rubber straps. Typically the rubber will stretch easier in warmer climates and loosen up after repeated use. You are also correct that because they are plastic they have a higher chance of breaking especially in colder weather conditions. We haven't heard of any cases of the buckle breaking or coming...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2022 Toyota RAV4
    Hey Simon, the only similar trunk rack we offer that fits the 2022 Toyota RAV4 is the Yakima Fullback 2 part # Y02634 which is a hanging style bike rack. The Outway does not fit your RAV4. Since the Toyota Estima was never offered in the US that means we don't have any fits for it but it did share a platform with the Toyota Sienna which we do not have any trunk racks for.

  • Recommended Thule Trunk Bike Rack for Childrens Bikes on a 2015 Subaru Outback
    These two bike racks will work: Thule Gateway # TH78VR, and the Thule OutWay # TH56BV will hold children's bikes with a bike adapter bar. I recommend the Swagman Bike Adapter Bar # 64005 to mount your children's bikes. This bar gives a horizontal cross tube to any women's, children's or alternative frame bikes so the bikes can easily mount to the rack. Even if your children's bikes have a horizontal tube, they likely won't be long enough for the rack arms so the adapter bar alleviates that...

  • Three Bike Carrying Option for 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
    Because the vehicle can be damaged due to the weight of 3 bikes it's not recommended that a 3 bike trunk mount rack be used on this vehicle. Your best bet would be to install a hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack if you need to carry three bikes. For a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite class II hitch, part # 36798-SK. This hitch is a no-drill application that most folks could install on their own if they're fairly handy. I've linked to the installation instructions. If you were...

    Between your two vehicles there actually are no trunk rack fits for both. The OutWay part # TH56BV does fit your 2009 Mazda CX-7 and would work well. The Sienna would need a Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 which is a fit for vehicles like this with spoilers.
