Fits perfectly on our Lexus CT200h. Only on the old LS400, the side straps have to be fastened to the wheel arch edge, since the upper trunklid gap is to narrow for inserting the strap hooks. Mounting of two bikes is (with some routine) quickly done, and they stay safe even for longer and faster routes. For transporting three (mountain) bikes, though, the design doesn't seem big and robust enough. Nevertheless, the price-benefit-fun ratios are way better than reasonable.

Acura TL Bike Rack Questions

• Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Acura TL
  
• The nicest trunk mounted bike rack we offer as a confirmed fit for your 2013 Acura TL is the Thule OutWay bike rack part # TH45JV. 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 the 4-6 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...

• Weight Capacity of Thule OutWay Trunk Mount 2-Bike Rack
  
• The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV you currently have can hold up to 2 bikes with a total weight of 66 pounds, or 33 pounds each. This will be the typical weight capacity of almost any trunk-mounted bike rack. If you are looking to possibly transport heavier e-bikes, you will want to look at hitch-mounted bike carriers with higher weight capacities or that are designed specifically for this type of application. For example, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier...

• Will the Thule OutWay Bike Rack Fit on a 2012 Acura TL Advanced
  
• Yes, the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Acura TL. I checked with Thule to confirm this also. If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you might also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.

• Will the Thule Passage 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Acura TL
  
• Yes, the Thule Passage 3 trunk mount bike rack # TH911XT is a fit for your 2012 Acura TL. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. 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 wifes...

• Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2012 Acura TL
  
• The Thule platform version of the OutWay # TH65JV , is technically a fit for your 2012 Acura TL. However, I do not recommend this carrier for your TL because it is a heavy rack, made even heavier when loaded, and it has proven to dent softer fascia like what is on your TL. I would definitely go with the regular OutWay, # TH45JV. It is going to be lighter so the chance of damage to the vehicle is much, much lower. I own the 3 bike version of this rack and have never head a problem...

• Will the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Acura TL
  
• I checked with Thule and the OutWay, # TH45JV, is listed as a fit for all models of the 2011 Acura TL. A spoiler is only going to be a problem if it interferes with the rack installation. No part of the rack, including the retractable cables on the rack, are allowed to touch (put any weight on) the spoiler. If any part of the rack does then you cannot use it. Thule does not test the racks on models with spoilers so they cannot guarantee fit. I have included a link to a video...

• Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Acura TL
  
• The ThulevOutWay # TH45JV, will fit your 2010 Acura TL. We actually list several different bike racks that will fit your TL. I have included a link to all of the options for you. My first choice would be the OutWay that you have selected. It is the easiest and fastest bike rack to install and remove because it uses retractable cables instead of straps. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT,...

• Will Thule OutWay Pro Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Fit 2010 Acura TL Sedan
  
• The trunk-mount bike carrier I recommend for your 2010 Acura TL is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. This bike rack has the patented FitDial that is used to create a custom fit for your vehicle and make sure it fits every time you want to use it. Another great feature for this bike carrier is it uses 2 vinyl coated steel cables to secure the bike carrier to the back of your car. This is much better than the typical 4-6 straps used by most other bike racks. This bike rack...

• Recommended Easy to Install Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2009 Acura TL
  
• Thule trunk mount bike racks are fully assembled, it doesn't get any easier than that to assemble! If you're wanting a rack that's unbelievably simple to install and remove, the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV is the rack you'll want. Most bike racks attach to the vehicle using 6 straps and adjustment buckles. This arrangement is pretty clumsy and isn't very easy to use. However, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps to secure the rack. This allows the rack to be installed...

• Will the Thule Archway Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Acura TL
  
• The Thule OutWay # TH45JV is a fit for your 2008 Acura TL. Since the top and bottom legs and the arms all move independently of each other, you will be able to fine tune the fit so that you will not have the problems that you are having with your current bike rack. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you. You could also consider an adapter bar to help you mount the bike on the rack. You can use Thule adapter bar # TH982XT or one of the others shown on...

• Can Longbikes Eliminator G2 Recumbent Bike Fit On Thule Raceway Pro On 2007 Acura TL
  
• The Thule OutWay # TH45JV would not work well with your Longbikes Eliminator G2. It would be difficult mounting the bike on the arms of the carrier and the carrier has a weight capacity of 33-lbs per bike. I was unable to find the weight of your bike in my research. The design of the bike and possibly the weight would be very stressful on the back of the vehicle. I recommend installing a trailer hitch like part # 24755 on your Acura and then using a hitch-mounted bike carrier...

• Fit of Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633 on 2006 Acura TL
  
• According to Yakima, the FullBack 3 will indeed fit your 2006 Acura TL. To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.

• If you are looking for the absolute best trunk mounted 3-bike that has been confirmed to fit both your 2005 Acura TL and your 2007 Hyundai Tucson you would want the Thule OutWay Pro # TH56BV. 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 the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store...

• Recommendation for a 2 Bike or 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack on a 2004 Acura TL
  
• For a 2 bike trunk rack on your 2004 Acura TL I would recommend the Thule Gateway Pro Bike Trunk Rack, part # TH88VR. The Thule Gateway bike rack is a new modern aerodynamic design with independently adjusting arms that allow you to carry your bikes at the angle you want. It has a total weight capacity of 70 lbs. The rack is also available in a 3-bike version as # TH78VR with a 105 lb capacity. If you are going to be carrying women's or children's bikes that do not have the...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Acura TL
  
• I 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...

• Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Recommendation For 2000 Acura TL With Spoiler
  
• Vehicles with a spoiler like your 2000 Audi TL can pose a problem when trying to select a trunk-mount bike carrier. Many of the carriers on the market have straps that create stress on the spoiler which is never a good thing. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Trunk Bike Rack, part # HRF2 for your TL. This carrier is designed for vehicles just like yours with a spoiler. This carrier has high rise frame and strap mounting options which works well for vehicles with spoilers. The...
