This 3-bike trunk rack features a QuickTrigger hub system for easy setup on your vehicle. The adjustable arms help to keep bikes level. StableCradle anti-sway cradles with removable ChainStraps allow for easy bike loading. Folds flat for storage.I have a 2017 Acura RDX. I had to be creative for the hooks and straps to work. The lower strap hook is not compatible with my hatch. And I really didn't want to have them hook under my plastic bumper, so I shut the straps in the hatch and hooked them to 2 hooks I have in the trunk. Works perfect. A picture is attached.
I have a Cannondale Bad Girl, which is the dumbest bike ever designed ( but that is a different review forum) so I had to be creative getting it mounted like I usually do. Works great.
The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because I don't believe the hooks are really compatible with the RDX, unless you have an awesome spouse willing to get shut in the trunk and place the hooks for you while you tighten from the outside.
etrailer.com has the best customer service I have dealt with in a while. Fantastic crew!
Decent little rack. I mounted this on a 2020 Jeep Renegade 4x4 Limited. It was difficult to get set up and as a ton of slack on the tie downs. I just cut them and burned the nylon since this is the only vehicle that this rack will ever be on. Secured one bike, rode well with little movement. Secured two bikes, a little wiggle. Secured three bikes and I was not comfortable at all!!
The bikes I loaded are a Giant Stance 1 29er Full Suspension, Trek Marlin 5 hardtail and a Liv Bliss 2. The total of weight of these 3 bikes is 92 pounds, shouldn't be that big of an issue... however, when looking at the directions on Yakima site, it says that 90 pounds includes the weight of the rack?!?!?! I mean come on be real as to what people can put on their rack without the weight of the rack. I would not buy this again if I had the choice.
However, etrailer... you guys rock. Super fast shipping and easy check-out!!
have used it several times. first time I injured my shoulder getting it fitted correctly and loading bike in it, so it took a while for my shoulder to heal and gain confidence to give it a try again. this spring it was much better, already setup for the mounting, and easier to load
I have to say it only took about 15 minutes to attach to my car (2014 Mercedes E350). I placed one adult and two children bikes on the rack. Definitely have to make sure there is room between the rack and the car for the first bike petal. Other than that, all three had plenty of room. The rubber snaps were a little difficult to stretch, but once connected it was very strong. I really like the plastic guides on the top bar to help support each bike. And for etrailer.com? They were spot on...perfect communication with honest estimates (shipping dates), and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend!!!
I 've just opened the box and do not qualify to give a review. What I see looks very well made, but I have concerns about the upper straps location. I have a spoiler on my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium that will not allow me to have the straps over the top. The hinge points at the top of the spoiler are my only connection point to provide strap support. The hinge point looks adequate, but the strap hook appears to be too wide to make that connection. Any suggestions before I return bike rack?
Mike L - 07/17/2018This was my first time using etrailer.com, but I would buy again from here. Ordered my bike rack and received it in less than 3 days which is amazing for the size of the product. The rack itself took me like 10-15 minutes to get it set up and handles putting bikes on it like a champ. The rubber straps are a little harder to get on and off unlike what the videos shows but that's my only con.
Purchased hangout 3 bike rack. Put 3 bikes on, one a kid’s bike, and it left multiple dents in our Acura MDX. Can’t imagine we’ll use it again and are now stuck with a dented up car.
Rachael H - 07/29/2019Got this for our 2013 Ford Escape for a 4 hour trip we were making on roads varying from highway to back roads. The installation is easy if you take the time to plan out the straps and follow the directions. Lots of rubber and padding to keep from scratching the car. It seemed pretty solid even with the sway. It was a little weird when we tightened things down the top bar came off the glass. It didn't affect the performance, but it did make for a little concern going down the road. If we loosened things up to keep the bar on the glass it was too loose to prevent sway.
I have now owned my Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack a year now and have had it mounted on my 2017 Jeep Renegade full time and hauled bike all across my home state and to three other states. I have had no issues and the bikes are well secured.
product has a solid frame, however I am returning the product due to the side hooks not securing properly on my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The top and bottom straps fit via the 'anchor' mode but the side straps do not fit flush below the tail lights where the Yakima fit site instructs them to go, and there is no alternative spot.
Excellent, easy to install. Very good quality
Can’t review the bike rack as it’s a gift for someone. But order process was easy, shipped quickly and arrived on time. Communication was awesome. And shipping was free.
Easy to set up and very sturdy with three bikes on it!
This bike rack fits my vehicle perfectly. Excellent customer service and timely delivery. Thank you!
Bike rack is really good, exactly what we expected. Easy in use.
Very helpful customer service.
The product is amazing! I had to look up how to install it on my suv from youtube so that was a pain but using it since has worked out great! Thanks so much!
The bicycle rack is well designed and light, it is very easy to install just by one person. Once I tightened up the straps this rack is well secured and it did the great job as described.
Great product. Easy to install on the back of my car.
Review from a similar HangOut in Trunk Bike Racks
Very nice, works well. The only thing that was an issue was with the "Anchor" part of assembly. The straps it came with were 2-3 ft. too short. So I had to replace/substitute my cargo straps for the Yakima top straps. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with this item.

Great rack. Fits my Nissan Rogue Sport perfectly. Took me a while to attach it to the trunk as the instructions weren't very comprehensive. The red knobs for adjusting arms sometimes get stuck, so it can slow you down adjusting the arms. But overall it's a pretty study rack and so far held well and didn't get lose after travelling from NJ to TX.

When I started the search for a bike rack, I was so disappointed and upset to hear that I would need to install a hitch and spend even more money to buy another bike rack for my 2016 jeep renegade. I ordered this bike rack with a little hope but got a huge surprise! Not only is it super convenient and easy to install but I can fully use my trunk and not spend a ton of money!
