I have a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium without a hitch. Im looking for a bike rack that would hold up to 3 bikes without causing damage to the paint. 1 is a youth girls bike. Thank you.

The best 3-bike trunk rack we offer for your 2017 Ford Edge is the Yakima Fullback 3 # Y02633. This rack uses a much wider mounting pad to distribute the weight of the bike and racks evenly and as long as you keep the bike rack mounting pad and the paint surface clean you won't have any damage. Also you need to stay under the weight capacity of this rack which is 35 lbs per bike.

If you plan on carrying any kidsd or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes like you mentioned you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
