by:

Not bad. My first rack for my first XXL bike (Trek FX3 disc). At first was annoyed at the sparse instructions and the “fact” that the top straps weren’t long enough to reach my trunk’s top hinge. Went to collect my bike anyway and the shop assistant showed me that it was total user error: I had the straps in backwards and doubled.
Anyway...she showed me how and we tightened it. Racked the bike and drove the 12 miles home. Wasn’t sure about it (and it’s not the best rack I’ve seen) but it’s simple and does the job for me. Not driving cross country with it but even if I did, I think it’d be secure.

Pros: simple, secure, not too big at all/easily stored.

Cons: not many bells and whistles, doesn’t keep the bike far enough away from the car (pedal might bump the paint depending on how crazy you drive)



by:

Great product selection. Easy installation. I recommend it to everyone.



by:

The bike rack works some of the time, but repeatedly needs adjusting during use and when not in use. If you lift your trunk up to go in it, the bike rack slams into your rear window. This is a hazard. I had to go through extreme lengths just to secure it to my car. If one of the latches fell off, which it frequently does, the whole thing needs readjusting. The blocks that are supposed to protect your cars paint job don’t work. It scratched my paint job on my car up terribly, as a result of the rubber blocks flipping upside down. I do NOT recommend this product. Buy another bike rack. This one’s too much of a headache!

For trunk mounted bike racks you will want to check the adjustments with every use. It is not recommended to open the tailgate then the bike rack is installed. To help reduce the chances of scratching the pain I recommend cleaning the racks pads and the place on the vehicle that they come into contact with. You can also opt to add a hitch to the vehicle and use a hitch mounted bike rack. In the short term it would be more expensive however it would eliminate the issues that have been described.



by:

High quality product; I have a Honda Fit and I would say that it will work but does not seem super secure. I am able to successfully use 2/3 sets of straps.

You mentioned that you were able to use two thirds of the straps and I wanted to know more details on the other straps? Would you be able to send a picture of the rack installed?

2010 Ford Focus

I have a 2010 Ford Focus SES with a small spoiler on the back and I was having trouble finding a rack that would fit MULTIPLE bikes that could fit my car without crushing my poor spoiler. This one did the trick! It also fit my boyfriend's car easily, and seems like it would fit a whole variety of cars.

This rack is super adjustable and easily fits 3 bikes. I've had it for a year now and have loved using it. Big thanks to etrailer.com for making it so easy to find this!



by:

I just received the bike rack and put it together with the help from the video provided by etrailer. It was very helpful as I'm not the most mechanical. The service was excellent.I ordered the wrong bike rack. I call customer service and Amy E took care of my mistake. She even helped me selection the one that would fit my car. Plus she called and gave me the instructions on how to return the wrong one I ordered. I really appreciate the time Amy took to correct my problem. Plus the bike rack looks great!



by:

I bought this bike rack as a gift for my son after he bought his first car. It fits nicely and is easy to install. It’s also easy to mount the bike on the rack. I feel like it was a great value for the cost. My son is happy with it!

2016 Volvo Cross Country

Awesome fit and delivered early!!!’ Yeah! I needed it for moving cross country and it works perfectly!



by:

Pretty straightforward assembly. No tools needed. My initial use of this (with one bike) the rack seemed pretty stable. Was delivered in a timely fashion (ordered on a TUE, delivered FRI). I would recommend this to any families looking for a multibike rack for their vehicle.



by:

It took a little effort to stop the straps from slipping, but after everything was seated securely and tightened I was able to take my bicycle on the highway without a problem. After months of use there are still no marks at all on the car.



by:

Works great the only thing missing is rubber coating on the hooks on the trunk
Would help to protect the car from unnecessary dings

they finally used it and loved it. thank you

Thank you for your review. I apologize about the poor instructions. We have an install video that you can watch to make sure your rack is on correctly. The only difference between the strap placing on a sedan vs an SUV is that on an SUV the straps will go up to the top of your hatch and the rack bar will be sitting about at the license plate area rather than the bottom of the trunk.



by:

I think it's very well-conceived and executed. My daughter has preternatural cleverness with these sorts of things, sort of like a character in *Dune*, and she helped me install it (she's 9). Since then, success!



by:

I purchased this item a year ago, since May 2021 but never used it. Nevertheless, it appears to be fine.



by:

Works great we love it!



by:

Although it is installed, I cannot use it because I had to order an adaptor. I am a woman and the rack only fits men's bikes. Would have been nice to know this when I ordered it. The "sale" price is not as much of a sale since I spent $[XX] for the adaptor.

  • Can The Malone Runway # MPG2142 Arms Fold Down?
    You're not doing anything wrong. The arm where the bikes rest are one with the top tube that touches the top of your trunk. The Malone Runway # MPG2142 cannot fold down when not in use.

  • Does Malone RunWay 3-Bike Rack Fit 2019 GMC Terrain
    Yes, the Malone RunWay 3-Bike Rack # MPG2142 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 GMC Terrain. It will hold two adult bikes and a child's bike, though the child's bike will need an adapter bar in order to give it a horizontal mounting point (this is true for all trunk-mounted bike racks). The adapter bar you need is the Malone Bike Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # MPG2165. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Malone RunWay...

    There are only 2 trunk mounted bike racks that are confirmed fits on your 2019 Audi A6 since there is not an aftermarket hitch option that would allow you to carry a hitch mounted bike rack. The best option would be the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139, which has adjustable arms to allow you to carry the bikes level and can hold up to 3 bikes. I really like that this comes with an integrated cable lock to keep the bikes secured to the rack. The only...

  • Is the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack Going to Damage My Trunk?
    I understand your concern. Fortunately, we have not heard about any damage to vehicles' trunks when using the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2142. From the weight distribution of the rack, most of the force is actually allayed to the bottom bar that rests above your bumper and the hooks that attach into the front of the trunk. The angle in your photograph looks normal. I went ahead and attached a picture of our expert installation to give you a comparison.

We have the two bike Yakima HangOut # Y02637 and a few 3 bike options # Y02638, # MPG2139, and # MPG2142. These are currently the only fits confirmed for your vehicle.

  • Best Value Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Murano
    The best value trunk mounted bike rack we have for your 2018 Nissan Murano is the Kuat Highline part # HIT2S overall. You get one of the nicest trunk mounted bike racks for just a little more than the really cheap options. For as nice of a bike as you have this would be your best value that would still work really well. The cheapest rack though is the Malone RunWay 3 part # MPG2142 which is a confirmed fit. Since you have a womens frame bike you'll want a bike adapter bar to make carrying...

  • Bike Rack for 2018 Infiniti QX50 with Spoiler
    Malone recommends that Malone RunWay # MPG2142 shouldn't be used with vehicles with a spoiler as it could damage the spoiler. Instead, you will want to go with a hitch mounted bike rack. Unfortunately we do not have any hitches that will fit your vehicle. If you already have a hitch, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This fits 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, and can hold up to four bikes. This rack is easy to install and folds down when not in use to save space. Note that depending...

  • Does Malone RunWay 3 Trunk Rack Fit 2010 Honda Accord Coupe
    As long as the spoiler of your 2010 Honda Accord Coupe is a factory spoiler the Malone RunWay 3 trunk rack # MPG2142 will fit and work great for your vehicle. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes 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...

  • Can the Malone Runway Hold Childrens Bikes on a 2014 Chevy Equinox
    To get some bikes such as smaller children's bikes to fit the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # MPG2142 will likely require the use of adapter bars such as # 64005. The problem on smaller bikes is that there isn't much space under the top bike frame tube to fit over the arms on the bike rack. A strategically placed bike adapter bar can solve that problem. The other option is to go with a bike rack with arms that are closer together and for that I recommend...

  • Do You Recommend the Malone Hanger 3 or the Malone Runway 3 for My 2021 Hyundai Elantra?
    Our installation team here at etrailer have confirmed that both the Malone Hanger 3 # MPG2139 and the Malone Runway 3 # MPG2142 will fit on your 2021 Hyundai Elantra. With that being said, I would recommend the Hanger 3 over the Runway 3 for two main reasons. The first reason is that the extra top bar of the Hanger 3 will give you more stabilization and security of the rack during transport. Secondly, the Hanger 3 comes with an integrated cable lock that will deter the theft of your bikes...

  • What Trunk Bike Rack Fits My 2022 BMW X5 with the M Sport Package?
    For a great bike rack for your 2022 BMW X5 with the M sport package, I recommend the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2142. The great thing about the Runway is that it comes with a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and comes with soft pads on the feet to protect your X5's finish. To add theft-deterrence measures, I recommend using the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 and the LoopLocks Cable Lock # MPG2168 to secure your bikes as well as the rack itself. If...

  • How to Carry Bikes on a 2005 Ford Mustang Convertible with Rear Spoiler
    Neither Thule nor Yakima recommend the use of a trunk mount bike rack on a 2005 Mustang Convertible with or without a spoiler. However, the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2142 will fit your Mustang convertible and will work with your spoilers. I have attached a review video of this rack for you to check out.

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Express Work On a 2003 Toyota Matrix with 29 Inch Tire Men's Bike
    It is possible that you could use the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier part # HRE3 on your 2003 Toyota Matrix but since this is a rather small vehicle and the arms on the Express are not adjustable, you might run into issues with the men's bike hitting the pavement because of the larger tires. Therefore, a better option for you is the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2142 as you can angle the arms up to provide more clearance.

    According to Malone, their RunWay 3 bike rack, part # MPG2142 is a fit for your 2005 Infiniti FX35. For women's step-thru framed bikes and bikes with sharply angled top tubes, you'll need a frame adapter bar like the # UB01 from Kuat. I've linked to a product demonstration video featuring the RunWay 3 bike rack. I've also linked to a video that explains how the adapter bar I mentioned works.

  • Recommended Bike Carrying Option for 2013 Toyota RAV4
    The easiest and most secure way to transport a bike with your vehicle would be a hitch mounted bike rack. Let's begin with the hitch. For a 2013 RAV4, I'd recommend the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98864. This hitch features a 2 inch hitch opening which is the most common and will give you the most flexibility in choosing hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The bike rack you'll need will depend on how many bikes you're wanting to transport and what...

  • Can I Tow a Trailer and Use a Trunk Mount Bike Rack on My 2016 Toyota Highlander
    If your trailer has a straight tongue, like a boat or kayak trailer, then you might have enough room under your bikes to be able to use the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack # MPG2142 on your 2016 Toyota Highlander while also towing, but there are variables that I can't really address; like how tall are your bikes, where exactly the rack arms sit in regards to the height of your hitch receiver, and if your trailer coupler height needs a straight ball mount or one that has a drop or rise.

  • Comparing Malone Runway and Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for a 2022 Hyundai Elantra
    The Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack part # MPG2142 and Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack part # MPG2139 are both fits for a 2022 Hyundai Elantra. The main difference between the two is that the Hanger has locks for security of the bikes and another pivot point for greater adjustability with the vehicle. The greater adjustability means a better fit and less contact. The Hanger however is a bit heavier at 15 lbs compared to the Runway at 9 lbs. I recommend the Hanger due to the added security and...

With that said you can still use a trunk mount bike rack to carry your bikes. I recommend the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2142 which can carry up to 3 bikes weighing up to 33lbs each, and is confirmed to fit your vehicle. I included a video of the # MPG2142 for you to take a look at.

There isn't a 2 bike option that fits.

Instead, you'll want to use the Malone Hanger 3 # MPG2139, which is a similar rack and has adjustable arms to help. The Hanger 3 is a bit better option too, since it comes with locks integrated, so it will keep your bikes secured to the rack. I've linked a review video of this rack for you to have a look at.

With that being said, we cannot confirm with certainty whether it will work with your vehicle.
