unfortunately the rack was not real effective. The straps and hooks system never really worked on my little BMW. I could never get it cinched down tight. Every pothole or bump threatened to spill the bike, which actually happened once. It also gouged the paint on my trunk. I gave up and now use a roof rack I bought from a friend. Also Yakima, but am much much happier with this replacement rack.
We have had the rack for a year and did not have a chance to use it until this past month. When we went to raise the arms to put the bikes on they were completely locked…we could not get them to release. We are seniors and need something with much more ease of movement. Very disappointed that this doesn’t work for us.
Jenny N - 08/08/2022Great bike rack and very sturdy. It was more than I paid for other bike racks but it should last. Rust proof, easy loading and clips to keep bikes secure.
Right now....not sure as do not understand how to use it on my SUV. Instructions are not very clear. It also came with many scratches on one of side.
Jenny N - 02/16/2023The product is great!!!
However, the install instructions from the MFR are horrible for people like me who suffer from a lack of "mechanical understanding."
First, etrailers.com is the BEST! Okay, this rack is amazing. If it was made in the U.S.A, I believe it would be closer to $ 800.00+, it's not, thus the incredible price point, imo. Incredible craftmanship, sturdy, versatile, nice to look at, as well. Very detailed instructions included. Fits my 2015 Prius 4 perfectly. Our beach cruises both required adaptor bars. I opted to wait on the bike rack, to ensure a good fit, etc. then purchase the adaptor bars. After much research, I went with Delta adaptors, I wish etrailers.com carried them, but they do not. Nevertheless, this rack is tops, highly recommend. Thank you for reading!
Shopping for the right bike rack was easy with etrailer! I used the guides provided on the website to make sure I was purchasing the right rack for my vehicle. Very happy with the Yakima Fullback. Easy to install, and very sturdy. Thank you etrailer!
Linda - 02/23/2022etrailer,
Thank you for your fantastic service. Very impressed with your website and service from beginning to end.
We are very pleased with our new Yakima bike rack and the Malone bike adapters. We had our first outing today and was soooo pleased with how the rack mounted and held our bikes perfectly in place. All down to your great descriptions, videos and car match info.
Attached are some photos of our bike on our 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport.
Many thanks again,
Took a while to get it, and use it immediately - it's as awesome as described. The video on etrailer.com is very insightful, and further clarifies some of the ambiguities of the instruction booklets. Yakima web site also has videos and some online guidance to help you along.
The rack works as expected on my Audi Q5 and it's pretty sturdy. I was driving in local road and hwy - there are no shaking whatsoever. Very happy with the quality of the product.
My order was late (as with a lot of things this year) and etrailer added a personal touch to have someone (not a robot) inform me of my order weekly. While it doesn't make the order goes any faster, it's good to see what somebody cares about each customer. +1 there
Andre - 11/19/2021Easy to attach and detach. Holds my bike well. My issue is the provided lock is only good for the mount which typically holds the second bike. If you ride solo, the instructions state to mount the bike closest to the vehicle, which has no provided lock. How they overlooked this is beyond me. 3 stars at best for this major oversight.
Thomas M - 01/26/2022Excellent bike mount track. Hold my two bikes and is very sturdy on the roads. Easy to install and uninstall for traveling needs. Very satisfied with the performance of this product. They even shipped it out early for me!
I am sure the product is probably good. The problem I had was with the 60 day return policy. I ordered the rack for my daughter, who shortly afterwards contacted Covid 19, to the point I was not able to see her for almost two months. When I was able to see her and try the rack she was not able to install it without help. So I tried to return it but was told that the 60 day return policy was in stone, even after I explained my situation. I understand your policy and except it, but do not think it’s in time with what we went through. During the time my daughter was Ill I was not focused on the rack. I think you should have had some understanding. I know it’s my fault, so all I can do is never purchase any other products from you. Thank you for asking.
I love my new bike rack. It was very easy to install and holds my bike securely.
Was great working with Greg and Josh, everything from online purchase, sales, delivery went without a hitch,
Used rack to transfer bike to Ohio, worked great with no problems traveling on the highway
Roger - 12/05/2021Quality of the frame was good, but it was very difficult to unlock the rack to extend it for use.
Jenny N - 12/29/2021This rack works well on our 2020 Ionic PHEV. It takes some work to put on and take off each time, as all 4 straps need adapting, but it works great once on. Very solid and well-made bike rack.
Its mounted on a 2016 Rav4, I have taken many 200+ mile trips on Interstates with no problems whatsoever very easy to put on and take off, extremely sturdy and secure, I am very happy with this product.
The bike rack that I purchased was perfect for my Subaru and I used it almost every day last summer. It was easy to put on and take off. The design is excellent. I would recommend this bike rack for any bicycle enthusiast.
After buying a 2017 Toyota RAV 4 I was faced with the dilemma of a new bike rack that fit my car without destroying the spoiler on the back hatch. etrailer made it easy to find the correct rack for my car. This rack works perfectly for this car without doing damage to the spoiler. It is heavy duty and I have had so many comments about what a great bike rack it is from people who knew of my concerns about finding a rack for this car.
Liz - 10/23/2018Great bike rack, no damage to the car and delivered quickly.
Bought the Yakima rack for my new 2018 Stinger. I very carefully and correctly attached this rack to my car and transported my bike on a 5 hour trip. The rack (not the bike) seriously blemished the paint on the lower portion of the trunk including chipping the paint. My advice to Stinger owners is to avoid this rack.
Mike L - 04/23/2019Since this rack is delivered completely assembled it was easy to install on my 2018 Rav4. As per the instructions, which are excellent, I set the hub to 4, and the upper strap does not put pressure on the spoiler. I attached the trunk security strap to the bottom of the rack, changed the bottom hook to the anchor position, and closed the trunk, then re-attached the strap to the rack. I haven't used the rack yet to go biking, but it is a solid, easy to use, nice looking rack. I recommend this product.
Mike M - 05/10/2020package showed up absolutely destroyed. zero
care or concern to make product appear as “new” was evident. the box was barely intact and had more packing tape surrounding than cardboard. will be returning.
It's not my intent to write a negative review-- rather, simply to say that this bikerack doesn't fit my 2017 RAV4
Here is why: the straps would have to go *over* the spoiler on top of the hatchback door. This is specifically not recommended in the directions for installing the product. Also, for most new bicycles you would need a "bike-bar" accessory to hang each bike in a level position. Once again, mounting a bike in a 'not-level' position is specifically not recommended.
I hope to send this one back.... and get a platform rack that attaches to a trailer hitch.

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.The carrier works fine on larger (adult) sized bikes, but 20" kids bikes barely fit on the forks due to their spacing and their large plastic saddles and straps, and they only fit on the outermost saddles. This is probably true of most fork-type carriers, but customers need to be aware that the carrier won't fit more than one 20" bike on it. In general, I 'm happy with the carrier. One other note, after mounting it on the car and loading the bikes on it, retighten the straps holding it to the vehicle, and stop and do so again after driving a few miles, as they stretch a little under initial load.
Craig - 07/30/2022Excellent 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.
Jennifer - 06/15/2021I purchased this for my son to be able to transport his bicycle to and from college with his Ford Taurus sedan. It was just what we needed and provided safe and durable transport. This email is in response to etrailer's follow-up one year after purchase. I really appreciate the concern their customer support puts forth in making sure the customer is pleased and well cared for. I would highly recommend this product!
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).
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.
Kristin A - 07/03/2021Positive:
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.
Heather A - 06/24/2020Ordered 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.
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
Unfortunately, this device does not fit my vehicle. The description did not rule out my vehicle so I took a chance. Therefore, I cannot review this product as it is still in the box it was shipped in.
Jenny N - 03/03/2023This bike rack fits well on my 2016 Nissan Altima. It is very difficult to fit two my two mountain bikes on it at the same time. The bike mounts on the rack are to close together making it a struggle to get both bikes mounted securely.
Jenny N - 11/02/2022The 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!
Melony - 02/02/2015When 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.
Cassandra - 09/25/2017After 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!
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!
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.
Out of the box, this rack looks and feels very sturdy. Assembly is pretty straightforward and the instructions are clear. The buttons you depress to swing the arms down for storage can be a little tough to manage, but the process is quick and simple. Unfortunately, this rack did not work for the geometry of my XS road bike. The arms are fixed and my frame could not fit over the cradle that supports the bike near the head tube. Adding a top tube adapter would not have resolved the issue (it would have resulted in an even tighter angle than the original frame). This seems like a solid product, but probably only suited for 'average' and larger size bikes. Ended up going with another brand rack that was adjustable and offered more versatility for smaller framed bikes.
Easy to set up. Works perfectly. I chose this model because the design of my car only allows this "trunk" type of rack. I worried that it wouldn't be as sturdy or secure, but it's great. Even with two bikes, visibility out the rear is still fine. I have no complaints at all!
Andrew - 08/14/2022Fits my 2014 Prius well. I used an e-bike for it and it handled the weight well. I took the battery off to help. The one thing that bothered me is the rubber straps seem to come off a little too easy. Other than that it's great and holding on to it for regular bikes.
The Thule Trunk Bike Rack installs like a charm. Being a solo, senior woman, the installation was challenging the first time, but isn't everything the first time. This bike rack gives me more options to enjoy nature and the outdoors in my area.
Easy to put on and off the car after you assemble it and put it on the car the first time. Easy to fit two bikes at a time and the straps fit snuggly, which makes me feel confident that they'll stay attached and not bounce around unecessarily.
Fits my 2018gti well. Extra care with the straps is always wise with these types of carriers, but I've not had any problems. I do take the rear wiper off just in case. I've only used it with 1 bike. I'm not sure how I'd feel about two on it, but that's just me.
I love this bike rack!! It fits perfectly on my Jeep Liberty and is able to transport two bikes. We have used it many times and it works great! It is very easy to set up and strap the bikes to the bike rack. I recommend this rack!!
I had no problem with the installation as the instructions were clear and easy to folow. After simple bike loading and quiet road testing at speed with the bike installed, I am happy with the carreir. The Thule is a quality product. Thank you for your prompt service.
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.
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.
