This trunk bike rack safely transports 2 bikes to your favorite spot. Securely mounts to the rear of your Ford Expedition using the Fit Dial adjustment system and multiple straps. Anti-sway cradles hold bikes by the frame and reduce movement while driving.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.
The Thule Passage offers an affordable, safe way to transport two bikes without a hitch. The Passage mounts to the rear of your vehicle with six integrated straps and Thule's patented Fit Dial system, which adjusts the rack base to ensure a snug fit.
The Passage includes cushioned anti-sway cradles with Thule's No-Sway Cage accessories to prevent bike-to-bike contact during transport. The anti-sway cradles also keep your bikes from making contact with the vehicle.
The carrier's dual support arms provide stability for your bikes during transit, and the arms conveniently fold down when not in use for additional rear clearance and easy storage.

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.
Ordered 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.

I have a 2013 Edge. Have you had any problems with the rear spoiler. I am scared it might crack or get damaged. Any problems or concerns since you have been using the rack? Thanks,Bryan

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.

Hanging style bike racks like the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier and others like them do require the use of an adapter bar like part 64005 to properly hang bikes with slanted cross tubes. The adapter bar gives the bike a horizontal surface to hang from.
Fantastic! I drive a Dodge Journey Crew 2012 and it fit very well. I couldn't even tell you how long I searched for a bike rack that held two bikes and that fit my big SUV and that was relatively low priced, so this was perfect! I usually never write reviews but I had to because this bike rack held two bikes on it with no incident during my 4 day non stop driving cross-country trip on multiple types of terrain. I was super impressed with how well this held up. Very happy with my purchase! (:

Still using it and working great after a year! :
When 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.

Still loving it!
The 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!

Will the Thule TH910XT for the 2011 Camry accommodate a womens bike?

As a business person, Im impressed by your follow-up as I was immediately after my purchase. My bike rack is working out well.Thank you, thank you. And keep up your excellent approach to relationship building.
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.

One year update! Still loving this. Its super stable on my trips from long island up to the adirondacks and hasnt failed me yet. The straps hooks are still practically new and the rubber clampy strap things are still super tight. I never worry that my bike is going to be loose. Well put it this way- if I had to buy another bike rack, Id buy the exact same one and Id Def purchase again from etrailer.
The rack works very well with our 2019 Dodge Durango. Quality construction, and it was easy to put together and install. The manual was good, and includes a vehicle fit guide with notes specific to the vehicle. The guide recommended using a setting of 11 for the arms, due to the trim package on our vehicle I changed it to 10 and that worked perfectly. Definitely recommend the bike rack!
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).
Rack arrived in good condition and easy to assemble.However,the frame cradles on the horizontal bars are so fat, I cannot get my ebike on them using a bike beam as I intended. My regular bike will go on the rack with slight difficulty so I can only use it for that one.
Second Thule bike rack I have purchased and I'm very happy with the quality of their products. Simple to install and sturdy.
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
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.
We love our bike rack! It was a perfect fit for our two road bikes as we took them across the country from California to Florida. Highly recommend!
They said it would not work, but it does. Never any problems. Takes a little bit to set up, but then it is fine.
This bike rack has served me well over the past year. It's super easy to put on and off of my Rav4 and hold my bike very steady while driving.

A year later and still loving my bike rack!
After 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!
I have owned it a year and only used it once. It doesn’t seem to fit on my car that well or keep my bikes very elevated from the pavement. I think I will be going with a hitch rack for my next purchase as the trunk rack is too complicated and risky.

As much as everyone likes the trunk mount bike racks, I generally dont recommend them. They tend to vary on whether they will fit snug or not and they will also cause wear and tear on your vehicle as time goes on. I generally recommend a hitch mounted rack like part # TH9058, which would fit on both a 2 inch and a 1-14 inch hitch receiver. It also will give you more clearance between the ground and the bikes.
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.
Arrived quickly. Box looks like it was opened already. Bike rack and associated straps all undone with rubber bands at the bottom of the box. I suspect this one was opened and pseudo-repackaged and, guess what, sent on to some unsuspecting mail order customer. Unsatisfactory. When o pay ~$xxx for something it better be new in the box, not a repack someone else bought and returned.

Yikes! Well I can assure you that we do not sell any returned or used items. However, we do have a demonstration team that takes our product and does a temporary installation in order to get videos and pictures of the item in use. It is our policy to make sure that the item is still in good or new condition before it gets put back on the shelf for sale.
Just finished a 1200 mile road trip in Oregon,Idaho & MT. on windy mt roads and the Thule Trunk mounted bike rack work great on MY 2013 Hyundai Azera. Pic taken a top Glena summit going down into the STANLEY BASIN, ID. John
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.
Just returned from a bike-trip using the Thule Passenger2 for the 1st time.
It is the best bike rack that I have ever owned. It is easy to install, all parts are covered to protect your car from scratching, and held the 2-bikes "rock-solid".
Awesome product.
Well made. Detailed instructions for putting it together and attaching it the first time. Hangs on the back of the car easily and straps in snuggly so there is no wobbling when I drive. It is easy to take on and off. Works exactly as I had anticipated.

Just a year? I thought it was 2! The bike rack is sturdy, easy to use, secures my bikes easily. And I like that it easy to take off and on... or leave on and still use the trunk. Excellent product. Well made.

I wish that the bar that secures “female” bikes was included. I also ended up spraying the metal clips with rubberized spray because it will scratch where it contacts. I transport a very heavy e-bike mostly, I’ve been extraordinarily happy with its performance, price, and it’s easy on, easy off style. Often recommend.
