This trunk bike rack safely transports 2 bikes to your favorite spot. Securely mounts to the rear of your vehicle using the Fit Dial adjustment system and multiple straps. Anti-sway cradles hold bikes by the frame and reduce movement while driving.
Features:
Specs:
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.
The Thule Passage offers an affordable, safe way to transport two bikes without a hitch. The Passage mounts to the rear of your vehicle with six integrated straps and Thule's patented Fit Dial system, which adjusts the rack base to ensure a snug fit.
The Passage includes cushioned anti-sway cradles with Thule's No-Sway Cage accessories to prevent bike-to-bike contact during transport. The anti-sway cradles also keep your bikes from making contact with the vehicle.
The carrier's dual support arms provide stability for your bikes during transit, and the arms conveniently fold down when not in use for additional rear clearance and easy storage.

Pros: Fairly easy to install with lots of
Straps included.. It seems strong and came at a great price.
Cons: The rack doesn’t work with my Santa Cruz 5010 frame, which does have a straight top tube. I needed an adjustable temporary top tube which I already owned. I’m not sure if the anti-sway works well. I need to further test
Really good installation how-to video available. No tools required. Easy to set up and take down each time. Strong on back of car, and doesn't scratch paint. Exactly what I was looking for.
The package looked as though it had been used as a soccer ball (see pictures). Fortunately, the rack seems to be in good condition. Key word "seems". Another thing, I ordered on a Tuesday evening with 3-day shipping (which cost extra). It was shipped at around 6:00 a.m. Wednesday according to an email. So I'm thinking I'm going to get it Friday. Makes sense. 3-Day, shipped Wednesday early (day 1). Should be here Friday (day 3). No such luck. Another email stated that because of the holiday it wouldn't arrive until Tuesday September 5th.
I won't be ordering from this company again.
I just installed the bike rack on my crosstrek this morning to check the fit and it’s quite good. I mounted my bike and drove around my neighborhood to see just stable the rack was with my bike and it was quite stable. I’m looking forward to taking my bike to the nearest bike trail.
Great customer service, same day shipping, overall perfect experience and great product. I had the rack in my hands less than 48 hours after ordering. The rack performed flawlessly on an over 600mile road trip. The straps stayed tight with no loosening at sustained high speeds for hours. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Here is our bike rack on our 2011 Scion xD. It took about half an hour to put it on but it works great!

In response to JPs question: No, we havent noticed any pull on the spoiler at the top of the glass.
The product arrived in very quick time. However, one of the locking spring loaded pins refused to pop out to its locked position. After about a half hour of fiddling it finally popped out as it should have.
It is installed in a 2014 Rav 4 XLE and fitted well. I have yet to take it for a test run.
The side straps are secured to the back glass window and hopefully will be O.K.
It did take quite a bit of adjusting to fit the two bikes as they do not have normal cross bars.
Just finished a 1200 mile road trip in Oregon,Idaho & MT. on windy mt roads and the Thule Trunk mounted bike rack work great on MY 2013 Hyundai Azera. Pic taken a top Glena summit going down into the STANLEY BASIN, ID. John
Excellent quality. Easy assembly with clear instructions. Stable attachment to vehicle. The bike(s) are secure on the rack. I do have to remove the front wheel of my bike for transport because it rests too low to the ground. I purchased this bike rack so I can take my bike to different areas of town for my daily ride. I am very pleased with the price, processing and delivery of my purchase from etrailer.com.
Was fairly easy to figure out and put together. Mounting it to my 2010 Exuinox was a little time consuming doing it alone, but all in all it was worth the time. Held our two bikes very well. I would recommend this product to others looking for a more economical way to transport bikes other than having to install a receiver that hitches to a bike rack.
Just returned from a bike-trip using the Thule Passenger2 for the 1st time.
It is the best bike rack that I have ever owned. It is easy to install, all parts are covered to protect your car from scratching, and held the 2-bikes "rock-solid".
Awesome product.
Fantastic bike rack. Exactly what we were looking for. Fits my Pathfinder great. Easy to install. Directions were simple. etrailer.com had just what I needed at a great price. The website has many products to choose from. Overall a great bike rack. Very safe and secure, even with highway driving.
After a bad experience with a previous bike rack in high winds (not a Thule), we were very leery about bike racks. This one passes every test! We live in a state with high winds- this rack weathered 50+ mile wind gusts with ease. It was easily installed on our Buick Encore-VERY pleased with this rack! I have no qualms about taking this bike anywhere we go! Thanks!
I am very pleased with the entire process of ordering and delivery of my Thule bike rack. The product itself was very easy to assemble and attach to my car. I stores very easily when not in use. I would recommend etrailer to anyone for future purchases.
Excellent product!! Solid and well made The anti-sway bar will keep my bikes from moving around while traveling.
I brought it too transfer my bikes too different walking and bike trails here and around Nashville, Tn. It’s definitely better than trying too put my bike in my car. I’ve installed the Thule Passage 2 bike carrier- trunk mount on my 2005 infinit G35, I’ve taken some pictures of my installation can you tell me if it’s correct? Thanks
Outstanding bike rack for the price. Clear setup manual, parts do not feel cheap, works exactly like it is supposed to. Put my bike on it, did not even hear a sound of parts struggling keep up the weight. No squealing, no scratching noise at all. One thing to look for is when you tighten the straps with no bike on, make sure you tighten the side and bottom ones again after you place the bike on, as they will come loose as top straps will be holding all the weight. And be ready to sacrifice using your rear wiper since you will not be able to. One thing I wish it came with would be some kind of small Velcro fasteners to secure the loose ends of the straps with. But I just did with duck tape, works just fine, too. Also, outstanding customer service from etrailer folks!
Typical of most trunk style racks, I'm frequently tightening the straps to prevent the bikes from moving around too much, sometimes making stops just for that purpose. Also Thule should possibly reconsider including the 2010 Nissan Murano as an approved car for this rack as the entire hatch lid is plastic. They should at least make a note to NOT use this rack on the Murano on extremely hot days.
My Thule bike rack has worked well over the past year mounted on my Hyundai Elantra GT. Pretty easy to mount whenever I need it, and I do appreciate how the carry arms can be folded down. I will say, however, that as a woman rider it is extremely annoying how bike racks are only made for grown men. So women and children are left struggling. I only use my rack for me and my kid, and it is super challenging to load the bikes onto the arms (and an adapter works for my bike but not for a kid's bike).
Fantastic! I drive a Dodge Journey Crew 2012 and it fit very well. I couldn't even tell you how long I searched for a bike rack that held two bikes and that fit my big SUV and that was relatively low priced, so this was perfect! I usually never write reviews but I had to because this bike rack held two bikes on it with no incident during my 4 day non stop driving cross-country trip on multiple types of terrain. I was super impressed with how well this held up. Very happy with my purchase! (:

Still using it and working great after a year! :
I am thoroughly impressed. My chosen product was out of stock when I ordered it. Someone immediately contacted me with options, with a no pressure option of just waiting for my chosen rack. I just received it yesterday and it's great. I got the Thule Passage II and it's a perfect fit for my Buick Encore. It took 10 or 15 minutes to install and it's very stable.

One year update! Still loving this. Its super stable on my trips from long island up to the adirondacks and hasnt failed me yet. The straps hooks are still practically new and the rubber clampy strap things are still super tight. I never worry that my bike is going to be loose. Well put it this way- if I had to buy another bike rack, Id buy the exact same one and Id Def purchase again from etrailer.
When we bought our 2013 Explorer, there was no bike rack available that would fit it. We were thrilled to find this rack for our car. The instructions were easy to follow and the rack performed as expected. During the 100 miles from home to college, we could see our child's bike out that back window sitting solidly in place.

Still loving it!
The e-trailer video helped me easily install my new rack -- my first time handling a bike rack. Elegant success! And your order/shipping/delivery/follow-up service is excellent -- above par. Thank you!

Will the Thule TH910XT for the 2011 Camry accommodate a womens bike?

As a business person, Im impressed by your follow-up as I was immediately after my purchase. My bike rack is working out well.Thank you, thank you. And keep up your excellent approach to relationship building.
Ordered online, it shipped the same day. Received it 3 days later. There is a little assembly, but, pretty simple. It took me less than 15 minutes to install and no tools were needed. It is adjustable to be used on many different auto types, but, the instructions were very clear about how to adjust it to fit my 2011 Ford Edge.
I have used it twice so far to transport my bike. There are a couple of items that are inherent in the design, not a flaw, but, you need to be aware of them. First, you can't use rear window wipers. Second, the back-up alarm goes nuts because it registers a bike less than 6 inches behind you (I tolerate it for the few seconds it takes to back out of my driveway or out of a parking lot). Third, there is a little flexibility, it is held on with straps and clamps, not bolts, so, it bounces a little when you go over bumps or make sharp turns, however, it holds the bike fast to the frame and stays on the car. I use mine to transport my bike on short trips around town to bike trails. On a long trip I would suggest checking that the straps remain tight from time to time during the drive.

I have a 2013 Edge. Have you had any problems with the rear spoiler. I am scared it might crack or get damaged. Any problems or concerns since you have been using the rack? Thanks,Bryan

Positive:
The product is well thought out and works for a wide range of automotive vehicles. It comes with interesting dampers that i think work.
Instructions seem to be translated from another language, but are quite good, accompanying pictures make installation straightforward.
A test drive over speed bumps shows that the rack will support the bike for all travel needs. It can be disassembled , collapsed and stored in the trunk.
Downside:
The rack is made for the classic triangular shaped frame: horizontal cross bar, "male" bike. For bikes without the horizontal bar, mounting is a little less satisfactory. Such a bike can only be mounted on the outside mounts. Cannot use the damper on one side. Picture shows the mounting.
as to a design solution, maybe brackets could be replaced with smaller profile, some adjustability? however, as it is, vibration control is good and adjustability with smaller profile would have vibration concerns.

Hanging style bike racks like the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier and others like them do require the use of an adapter bar like part 64005 to properly hang bikes with slanted cross tubes. The adapter bar gives the bike a horizontal surface to hang from.
Excellent and prompt customer service!
When I first ordered my product it wasn’t in stock— staff were quick to let me know and offered me comparable products.
I ended up waiting for my original order and shipping quick and they stayed in touch with ideas!
Thule: The instructions
could be a little more detailed. I ended up watching YouTube videos to help me instal.
Overall it was easy, and this was the first rack I’ve ever installed and I did it by myself!
I was surprised to learn the bike rack is in no way secured inside your vehicle, so.. I store it in my garage when it’s on.

I wish that the bar that secures “female” bikes was included. I also ended up spraying the metal clips with rubberized spray because it will scratch where it contacts. I transport a very heavy e-bike mostly, I’ve been extraordinarily happy with its performance, price, and it’s easy on, easy off style. Often recommend.

Hi Jennifer,I have purchased the same vehicle and noticed you placed the clips on top of the spoiler and on the edges of the glass - Doesnt the weight the bikes brought down the little spoiler at the top of the glass?
