Question:

Hi...I own a 2007 Nissan Murano. What is the best bike rack fit for my vehicle? I need to fit 2 bikes on the rack.

Expert Reply:

Of the confirmed fits for your 2007 Nissan Murano I believe the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV would be the best fit for you to carry 2 bikes. This is one of the nicest trunk mounted bike racks available because of its many features and relatively lightweight.

The Thule Gateway Pro Bike Rack part # TH88VR that you referenced would also be a quality rack, but I strongly believe you would be happier with the # TH45JV.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT 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.
