This 3-bike trunk rack adjusts to fit the shape of your sedan, hatchback, or van. It has adjustable arms that fold down for parking in tight spaces, and you can quickly remove it and store it in your trunk or garage.

  • Trunk-mounted rack lets you carry up to 3 bicycles on the back of your vehicle
    • Arched body fits over many types of spoilers
  • HideAway anti-sway cradles with ratcheting straps hold bikes at 3 points

  • FitDial system with Quick-Fit levers ensure quick and easy setup
    • Simply identify the number for your vehicle, press the levers, and rotate the frame into position
  • Adjustable arms help to keep bikes level during transport
    • Rotate upward for added ground clearance and fold down when not in use
  • Integrated cable lock secures bikes to rack
    • Locking strap (sold separately) secures rack to vehicle
  • 6 Nylon straps with hooks and cam buckles anchor the rack to your vehicle
    • Holders with hook-and-loop tabs secure excess strap to prevent flapping
  • Foam foot pads help protect your vehicle from scratches and scuffs

Specs:

  • Distance between arms (outside cradle to outside cradle): 12"
  • Distance between bikes: 7"
  • Carrier weight: 13.5 lbs

Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.


Thule Gateway Pro

The Gateway Pro lets you carry 3 bikes on the back of your sedan, hatchback, or van. Adjustable legs with oversize pads fit the contour of your vehicle. Adjustable arms with HideAway anti-sway cradles keep your bikes level during transport, and they fold down for parking in tight spaces. It installs easily with 6 straps with nylon-coated hooks and a FitDial system with vehicle-specific settings. It includes a Thule One-Key System cable lock that secure your bikes to the rack, and you can fold it flat for storage in your trunk or garage.


HideAway Anti-Sway Cradles with Ratcheting Straps

Thule Gateway Pro anti sway cradles

The Gateway Pro has HideAway anti-sway cradles that secure each bike at 3 points - twice along the top tube and once along the seat post or downtube. This helps to keep your bikes from rocking back and forth and bumping into each other, or your vehicle. The soft rubber cradles are set 7" apart on the arms, preventing your bikes from becoming tangled on the rack. You can remove the lower straps and fold the cradles up against the arms to make it easier to slide your bikes onto the rack.


Adjustable Dual Arms

Thule Gateway Pro anti sway cradles<br class=

The Gateway Pro has adjustable arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. The built-in levers allow the arms to be adjusted up and down. Just flip the lever up, rotate the arm to the desired position, then flip the lever down to lock the arm in place. This helps to keep your bikes level on the rack and provides increased ground clearance.


Thule Gateway Pro anti sway cradles<br class=

The levers also allow you to fold down the arms when the rack is not in use and to fold the rack flat for storage.


6-Strap Installation with Fit-Dial System

Thule Gateway Pro anti sway cradles<br class=

The rack installs quickly and easily with 6 nylon straps that keep it anchored in place. The steel hooks on these extra-long straps have a nylon coating to prevent scratches on your vehicle, and the straps tighten in place with easy-to-use, backpack-style cinches.


Thule Gateway Pro Fit Dial System

The FitDial system lets you easily adjust the rack to fit the shape of your trunk, and the long, arcing tubes are designed to fit over most factory spoilers. Simply press the Quick-Fit levers and rotate the base until the centers of the levers line up with the numbers on the dials. These vehicle-specific numbers are specified in the instructions included with the rack.


Thule Gateway Pro anti sway cradles<br class=

Holders with hook-and-loop tabs are included to bind up the excess strap length when the rack is mounted so the straps don't flap in the wind. They also keep the straps nice and neat when the rack is folded in storage.


Thule Gateway Pro foam pads

Oversized foam pads on the Gateway Pro's upper and lower bases grip your trunk or rear hatch to keep the rack firmly in place during transport. The soft padding helps prevent scratches and scuff marks on your vehicle.


Integrated Cable Lock

Thule Gateway Pro anti sway cradles <br class=

The rack includes an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack. It has a Thule One-Key System lock cylinder that can be swapped out if you own other Thule products and want to use the same key to lock them all. The cable lock extends from the tip of the left arm, threads around your bike's frames, and secures to the arm. It retracts back into the arm when not in use.


There is also an available locking strap (sold separately) that secures the rack to your vehicle.

  • 2021 Volkswagen Golf Thule Gateway Pro 3 Installation
    The Thule Gateway Pro 3, part # TH78VR, should fit your vehicle. You will have to open the hatch to get the hooks in place where the roof and hatch door meet and also at the bottom of the door. Once the hooks are in place you should be able to tighten them to secure the rack to your vehicle. You should not have to use any force to get this rack to fit. I have include link below that goes into installation detail.

  • Will Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC
    Thanks for reaching out, Yi! Thule hasn't listed any of their trunk mount racks, like the Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR, as a fit for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC, but as an alternative I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 instead. The FullBack is comparable to the Gateway Pro in ease of use and sleek looks, and I've actually installed this a handful of times and found it to be one of the easiest trunk mount racks to install. Yakima has a note saying you need to install the straps...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2015 Lexus IS 250 for a Bike Rack and Light Trailer
    I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 24923, for your 2015 Lexus IS 250. It's confirmed to fit both the sedan or convertible models. The hitch is a Class I, 1-1/4 inch receiver so you need to make sure the bike rack you use fits the Class I. The bike rack I recommend is the very popular Thule T2 Pro XTR, part # TH23JV. The T2 is a platfrom rack that carries up to 2 bikes at 50 pounds each. it can be folded up out of the way when you're not using it as well as tilted...

  • Can Thule Trunk-Mount Bike Rack be Used on 2006 Honda CR-V
    Thank you for all of the info and the picture! Normally when the hatch on a vehicle doesn't allow the hooks to properly secure you would just use an anchor type system like the Hollywood Racks part # HR44FR. These would sit inside the rear hatch area and would essentially pull against the door to hold the rack in place. I checked with all of our manufacturers and none of them list a fit for a 2006 Honda CR-V. So even if you were able to use anchors I'm not sure if a Thule bike rack, like...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 BMW X5
    We have several trunk mount bike racks that will work on the 2012 BMW X5. I have included a link to them for you to view. The Thule Gateway Pro, # TH78VR, would be my top choice for your vehicle. It comes with an integrated cable lock and a passive theft deterrent strap. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT for greater ground clearance and to carry...

I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube...

  • Trunk and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for a 2012 Kia Optima
    The 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...

  • Will the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2003 Subaru Outback Wagon
    The Thule Gateway Pro 3, # TH78VR, is a fit for your 2003 Subaru Outback Wagon. For ease of use and installation, I recommend the Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV. This back rack is easy to install and remove because it uses retractable cables instead of straps. With any trunk mount rack I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT, so you can carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.

  • Comparing the Thule Passage and Gateway Trunk Mount Bike Racks for a 2008 Volvo XC90
    The main difference between the Thule Passage # TH911XT and the Gateway # TH78VR is how each functions. The Passage arms (that hold the bikes) can only move with the upper leg. This limits the vehicles that it fits and its ability to hold bikes level . The Gateway arms move independently of the upper and lower legs and each other. This allows for more vehicle fits and greater flexibility for mounting bikes level. The Passage requires removing a nut and bolt on each arm to make adjustments....

  • Recommended Hitch Mount and Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2011 BMW X5
    Both the Yakima Fullback 3 # Y02633 and the Thule Gateway Pro # TH78VR are confirmed to fit your 2011 BMW X5. However, we have found the best bike for SUVs, especially those with a spoiler, is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2-3. It's specifically designed to fit with a hatch to help prevent any damage to the vehicle. Installing a hitch is going to be a more permanent option, like you said; however, there are definite advantages over a trunk mount. The biggest is the fact that...

  • Thule OutWay Compatibility with Carbon Frames
    Good catch! On a second look, this bike rack has a clamp on the frame meaning that the support is on the frame and not the wheels. The Thule Carbon Bike Frame Protector # TH984101 can be purchased separately to protect your frame from warping or cracking with this bike rack. The Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH88VR or 3 bike # TH78VR are still confirmed by Thule to be compatible with carbon frames due to their HideAway cradles.

    For your 2015 BMW X5, the Thule Gateway Pro 3-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH78VR is a great rack for the 3 bikes you referenced and is a confirmed fit for your 2015 BMW X5. It has the capacity of carrying 3 bikes up to 35 lbs each and is designed to put 7 inches between your 3 bikes. It will work just as well as the 2 bike version, but it will get the 3rd bike out of the vehicle and into a safer traveling location. The distance between the arms of the cradle is 12 inches...

  • Which Thule 3 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Racks Will Fit a 2011 Mazda 6 Sedan
    Yes, according to Thule the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, will fit your 2011 Mazda 6 sedan. Thule has several 3 bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit your car. Gateway 3, # TH78VR Passage 3, # TH910XT Out of all of these bike racks, I think the Raceway 3 is the best choice. It is very light weight, under 19 pounds, and the retractable cables make it quick and easy to install. Out of all of the trunk mounted bike racks I have used, the OutWay has been the easiest to install. I have included...

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for an Audi Q5 Without A Trailer Hitch Receiver
    Vehicles like your 2013 Audi Q5 that have a rear roof-level spoiler can pose a challenge to fitting a trunk-mount bike rack. However, you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier, part # HRF2. This unique 2-bike carrier is designed expressly to be compatible with roof-line spoilers by its use of upper arms that extend above and over the spoiler. Please refer to the linked photo and video that illustrate this carrier and its installation. If you need to transport more than...

  • Comparing the Thule Gateway, OutWay, and Yakima KingJoe for a 2015 Subaru Forester
    The Thule Gateway trunk mount bike carrier # TH78VR is one step up from the Thule entry level carriers. It has more versatility and an easier to use design compared to the Passage, which is the next step down, # TH911XT. But there is no comparison between the Gateway and the OutWay. The OutWay # TH56BV is superior in every way and is really in a class by itself. It is high quality and has road dampening technology to better protect the bikes.

If you prefer a more cost-effective non-locking carrier then I suggest the Gateway 3, part # TH78VR. With either option you will want to load the heaviest bike first (so it is nearest the vehicle)...
