Ford Edge
Ford EdgeFits 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.

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.

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.

Seemingly well-constructed and supported bike rack. It fits my 2018 Toyota Camry SE just fine and I haven't had any issues with sway or even feeling my bike while driving. I've only carried one bike on it and have used it a limited number of times, so I cannot speak on durability and longevity. Although you shouldn't open your trunk while the rack is attached, I have been able to do so with no issue (without the bike attached).

While getting a bike rack for a sports car isn't ideal, I really wanted to transfer my bike with my own car instead of borrowing my friend's pickup truck. After hours of trying to find a bike rack that would be good for my 07 Mustang, I decided to give this one a try and I gotta say, it has been pretty good so far. It fits very well over the factory spoiler. One of my biggest concerns I was worried about when ordering a rack for my Mustang was ruining the paint, but the feet on the legs haven't left one scratch. I have used this to transfer my bike at freeway speeds (up to 80 mph) on car rides that typically last an hour and my bike was perfectly secure throughout each ride. For extra security, I wrapped both bike wheels with a ratchet strap so the wheels and pedals wouldn't shift in transit. So far, I am very pleased with this bike rack for the price and quality. I would highly recommend this if you want a rack that is affordable and durable.

The Malone rack adjusts to fit my 2017 Trax really snugly and securely. Once we learned how to configure the bikes for best fit, everything traveled without movement. The only downside is that this system seems designed for narrow road bikes rather than the mountain and hybrid bikes we own. Although the anti-sway cradles are sufficiently wide for mountain tires, the close proximity of the individual bike setups sometimes cause a strap to pull loose during travel, so we keep the bikes cabled to the rack frame. We are able to make it work. For narrower bikes, I would recommend this rack without reservation.

Works great! We keep it set up to one position because it's used on my car only. I'm glad we bought the lock feature because we can just leave the rack on at the trail site. This was a great purchase. I'm impressed that you follow up on your product. I recall your staff was quite helpful in making sure I purchased the correct item for my car and set it up correctly. No recent pictures of the carrier but I do have one of myself as "happy camper" on the Fox River Trail which was doable because of the carrier purchase!!

Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Bike Rack Review - 2014 Dodge Journey
Today on our 2014 Dodge Journey well be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Over the Top Trunk-Mounted Two Bike Carrier for vehicles and spoilers, part number HRF2. Well begin our test fit by placing the bike rack up onto the vehicles rear bumper. The bottom portion of the bike rack should rest on the upper tier of the rear bumper. We can then use the middle set of black levers to adjust to fit the middle of the arms which will rest on the vehicles rear window.When you position the arm on the rear window you want to leave enough space between the rear window and the bike rack so that the cradle arms can swing out without coming in contact with the window.Once youve established this position you can lock down the black plastic levers. If need be you can use the top set of black levers to adjust to fit the overhanging part of the bike rack whereas the top two straps will help connect to the rear hatch.With this done you can then lock them in place. Well then take the top two straps to go over the top portion of the rear hatch. Well then take the side straps to go on the side of the rear hatch down here on the corner and the bottom two straps to go on the bottom portion of the hatch.Well then tighten down the straps to secure the carrier to the vehicle.
Hollywood Racks Expedition Trunk Bike Rack Review - 2014 Dodge Journey
Today on our 2014 Dodge Journey, we'll be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Expedition Trunk Mounted 2-Bike Rack, part number HRF6-2. We'll begin our test fit by placing the bike rack up on the vehicle's rear bumper. The bottom pads of the bike rack should rest on the upper tier of the bumper. We can then use the top two black levers to adjust the fit of the top of the bike rack up on the rear window of the vehicle. When figuring out this position, you're going to want to leave enough space so the cradle arms can swing out to a level or slightly angle the position. If you have the bike rack up too close to the vehicle's rear hatch this will prevent you from bringing the cradle arms out. We can then snap the black plastic levers in place, securing our bike rack and position.
Dodge Journey Bike Rack Questions
- Since E-bikes are heavier you have to go with a hitch mounted option like the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which is specifically designed for the heavier E-bikes.
So for a hitch confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Dodge Journey you'd want the Draw Tite part # 75648 as it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch does when carrying a bike rack.
view full answer... - The Softride Trunkster 2 Bike Carrier SR26372 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Dodge Journey AVP but it has been discontinued. My recommendation for a fit is the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount # TH910XT. It does not come with locks, so you may want to consider adding a cable lock like # 8122D and a the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 to lock the rack to your hatch.
One other consideration is the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's,...
view full answer... - The Thule Gateway Pro 2-bike trunk mount carrier you'd mentioned, part # TH88VR is compatible with your 2015 Dodge Journey and with the ~30 lb weight of each of your bikes. Just a fit note: DO NOT use your rear wiper with the rack in place, it'll be damaged.
For the Verve Lowstep women's model, you'll want to use a frame adapter bar like the Swagman # 64005. The adapter bar will span the distance between the seat post and the handlebar stem, providing a level spot for the bike...
view full answer... - It's not recommended to open and close the rear hatch with a hatch mounted bike rack in place. The gas struts that hold up the rear hatch are rated for the weight of the hatch, and not much more. Having extra weight on the hatch could cause the hatch to close unexpectedly, catching you by surprise (not to mention the head and shoulders.)
Closing the rear hatch with the rack in place could also damage the rear door from the extra shock of the rack being in place.
I have...
view full answer... - There are several trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for your 2014 Dodge Journey, see link. But if your Journey has a little spoiler at the top of the hatch I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes.
These racks have upper arm pieces that move the straps up and over the spoiler so no weight or stress is on the spoiler. I have included a video link showing the 2-bike version on a 2014 Journey.
If you will be carrying...
view full answer... - We have many options in trunk-mount 3-bike racks confirmed to fit on your 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad edition.
Since the Journey has a small spoiler at the rear hatch roofline I suggest the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3 so long as you have raised rails or load bars on the roof. This rack's unique design avoids contact with the spoiler and it uses straps that connect to the roof rack or rails for extra support.
If you do not have the roof structure to...

All will mount to your Journey's rear hatch in essentially the same manner, with the carrier's lower arm resting on the upper tier of the bumper cover. Please note that your rear wiper cannot be used with any trunk-mount carrier installed. Also note that the fit of bike racks is to a degree vehicle-specific so without knowing what rack you intend to use I cannot confirm its fit.

view full answer... - Thule does list the OutWay # TH56BV as a fit for your 2014 Dodge Journey. However, I recommend going with a different rack because of the exact issue you are describing; that upper plastic part at the top of the rear hatch. You don't want to much stress on it.
So I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to...

The Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack part # TH911XT that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Dodge Journey and would work well. I attached a review video 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...
view full answer... - Yes, the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Carrier, # TH45JV, will fit your 2011 Dodge Journey. The 3 bike version, # TH56BV, will also fit.
These bike racks are very light weight and probably the easiest racks to install and remove that I have ever seen. The retractable cables make installation quick and easy.
If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Thule Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes more level. I have...
view full answer... - The trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend for your 2011 Dodge Journey is the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack part # TH56BV. I checked with Thule and this rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.
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 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.

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 bike...

These racks have an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to...

The # TH910XT bike rack is a 2 bike rack and has a 70 lbs. weight capacity. It has the No-Sway Cage cradles which prevent bike-to-bike contact and bike-to-vehicle contact. The dual support arms fold down when...
