Best bike rack ever

Pretty straight-forward on how to affix to trunk, any questions are covered nicely throughout the instruction booklets. Once fastened, everything is confidently snug.
The only thing I was initially concerned about was the potentiality that the clamps might not fit around my frame (being a thicker-framed MTB). I actually found a YouTube video of somebody reviewing the item and they actually showed some good ideas for how to fit the bike securely to the rack. Once you get that dialed-in, it's as sound as a pound. Haven't had any issues with the rack and don't even worry about it or the bike while driving. Worth the purchase.



by:

Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.



by:

The rack is great just what I was looking for.
The only issue I see is the straps are plastic so after using them for a little bit they broke. I had to order replacements. Let’s see how much time they last!



by:

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.



by:

Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!



by:

The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.



by:

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

  • Do I Need To Use The Spoiler Support Straps For The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack
    We do recommend always using the spoiler support strap for additional stability and safety. Loosening the strap can be done fairly quickly, even quicker once you get the hang of it. From the looks of the spoiler on the back of a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV you will definitely want to use the spoiler support strap kit that comes with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH56BV.

  • What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2021 Kia Niro EV?
    I have a great bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a hitch that will fit your EV model of 2021 Kia Niro. However, a great alternative solution is a trunk rack. For that route, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 # TH45JV or the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. Both OutWay racks have a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and comes with one-key system locks to deter the theft of your bikes from the rack as well as the rack from your vehicle. If you have bikes that have...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 Honda Odyssey
    The safest way to carry bikes is by using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike carrier. Trunk mount carriers only go up to 3 bikes, any more than that and it would put way too much stress on the attachment points on the vehicle. And the roof is probably not wide enough for all 4 bikes, let alone able to support the weight of 4 bikes. So the options are a combination of a trunk mount and roof mount set up or a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike carrier. I recommend the simplicity of a...

  • Is the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Carrier # TH56BV the Best Bike Rack Option for a 2011 GMC Acadia
    Yes, Thule does recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH56BV, for your 2011 GMC Acadia. I recently had the chance to install this rack on a vehicle and it is the easiest to install and remove trunk mount rack that I have used. One hint is to wash the attachment points on the bike rack and vehicle before installing the rack to prevent damage to the vehicle finish. Since your Acadia does not have a hitch, the OutWay # TH56BV would be a good option, but my personal...

  • Availability of 2 Bike Carrier Rack for a 2011 Kia Soul
    The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack, part # TH45JV will fit your 2011 Kia Soul. It can carry 2 bikes and has a weight capacity of 66 lbs. This bike rack is easy to install and is one of our best sellers. I would also recommend the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack, part # Y02637. This is a trunk mounted 2 bike rack that has a weight capacity of 60 lbs. It is also one of the easiest to install. If you are going to be carrying women's or children's bikes that do not have the horizontal...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan and a Bike Rack
    For your 2009 Honda Accord sedan I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11496. With the other hitch options there is an additional part you would need to be able to use a bike rack but not with this hitch. This and all of the hitches for your Accord are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. Class I trailer hitches are rated for a maximum of 2 bikes because it cannot handle additional weight that is further away from the receiver. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks for you....

  • Best Trunk-Mount 3-Bike Rack for 2018 Mazda 3 Hatchback
    Hatch-mount bike carriers for your 2018 Mazda 3 Hatchback are available in 2-bike and 3-bike capacities. No 4-bike trunk racks are made since they would simply be too heavy for a car's sheet metal trunk or hatch. If you can get by with a 3-bike capacity then the rack I recommend is the Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV. This USA-made carrier is among the best trunk racks made. It features molded nylon construction that is strong yet lightweight; built-in locks are included for the rack itself...

  • 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
    If your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a rear spoiler, and from my research it most likely is, you might want to consider the Hollywood Rack Over the Top # HRF2. Currently we only have this bike rack in 2 bike configuration. This bike rack is one of our newest products and is specifically designed to be used on vehicles with a rear spoiler. The design of this trunk mounted bike rack reduces the stress that can be placed on the rear spoiler when using a trunk mount bike rack. The...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2013 Audi S4 Sedan
    The trunk-mount bike racks recommended for your 2013 Audi S4 Sedan can be seen on the linked page. These include both 2- and 3-bike carriers in both the hanging and platform styles. In general it is wise to use as lightweight a rack as possible in order to minimize the weight load on your trunk, but it is also true that the racks with the best construction and the most included features (like built-in locks) tend to weigh more. Better racks also tend to be easier to mount on the car. A...

  • Mounting an FS Mountain Bike on Thule OutWay Bike Rack on 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack # TH45JV will accommodate varying bike frame designs, including your mountain bike, but it may require the use of an adapter bar like the # TH982XT in order to fit over the arms and ride level. According to customer feedback, the Thule adapter bar works much better than other adapter bars for mountain bikes with the Raceway bike rack. The OutWay 2 has a maximum weight capacity of 66 pounds so you may want to weigh your bikes to determine if they will prove...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Toyota Prius
    The Thule OutWay, # TH56BV will fit your 2004 Toyota Prius! It holds 3 bikes and has a 99 pound total capacity. It can lock the bikes to the rack and the rack can be locked to the vehicle. It uses only 2 retractable cables to attach to the vehicle so it installs much quicker and easier than any other trunk mount carrier I have used.

  • Available 3-Bike Rack Options for 2010 Toyota Highlander
    Due to the fact that the support hooks would need to attach directly to the glass in the rear tailgate, none of our bike rack manufacturers recommend using a trunk mount rack on your vehicle. The glass lacks the strength to support the weight of the bikes and the carrier, and could shatter unexpectedly. This leaves a roof mount or a hitch mount option. If you have a bare roof, Rhino Rack the Vortex Aero Roof Rack that could be constructed using # RRVA137S-2 54 inch crossbars, the # RRRLKVA...

  • Is the Thule OutWay 2Bike or 3Bike the Better Choice for Mounting My Mountain and Hybrid Bikes
    I recommend the Thule OutWay -3 bike rack # TH56BV to easily mount your bikes on your 2013 Toyota Corolla. This rack allows you to carry up to 99 lbs. so you will not have to worry about carrying too close to the weight capacity. Also, mounting two bikes is easier on a bike rack which carries 3 bikes over a bike rack only designed for two. When mounting your bikes, always have the heavier bike mounted closer to the vehicle. In your case, the hybrid bike most likely weighs more and should...

  • Will Thule OutWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Fit on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
    The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV will fit on the rear of your 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The rear wiper can not be used when the bike rack is installed. This bike rack can carry 3 bikes and has a total weight capacity of 105 lbs. If you are going to be carrying women's or children's bikes that do not have the horizontal bar at the top of the frame, you will want to use the Thule bike adapter bar, part # TH982XT. It attaches to the center seat post and to the handlebar post and provides...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
    Yes, I checked with Yakima and the Quickback 3 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV. We no longer carry this bike rack so I can't recommend it for you. The closest rack to the Quickback that we still carry is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes...

  • Best Way to Carry 3 Bikes with 2016 Kia Forte5
    I have a great solution for you to carry your three bikes but since the hitches for your 2016 Kia Forte5 are Class I there isn't a way to carry more than two bikes with them. So instead your best option is a trunk mounted bike rack that can carry up to 3 bikes and is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. The best option is the Thule Raceway 3 bike rack part # TH56JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2004 to 2007 Ford Freestar
    According to Thule, the OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack, # TH56BV, will fit all years of the Ford Freestar (2004 to 2007). This is the bike rack I would recommend because it is the easiest trunk mount rack to install/remove that I have ever used. The ratcheting cables make installation quick and easy. If you will be carrying woman's or children's bikes, I recommend using the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes level. I have included a link to a video showing how the adapter works.

The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack, part # TH56BV, that you have referenced will not work on your Murano. Thule does not recommend a 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack for your vehicle.

  • Recommended Bike Rack To Carry At Least 3 Bikes On 2015 Subaru Impreza
    There are a couple of options for you that will work with your 2015 Subaru Impreza. You can go with a trunk mounted bike rack which will not have a 4 bike option, or you can go with a hitch mounted rack. The Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV is my recommendation for your Impreza. It comes with all the integrated locking features to keep your bikes and the rack itself secure to your vehicle. This rack is rated for bikes up to 33 lbs each. For any hanging bike rack, I recommend using...

The best 3 bike trunk rack confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV. What makes this rack far...

However, we have two 3-bike trunk-mount carrier that is compatible with your 2007 Honda CR-V. The Yakima HangOut 3-Bike Rack, part # Y02638 and the Saris Guardian 3-Bike Rack, both are demonstrated in the linked videos. Of these two racks, I highly recommend the Yakima rack over the Saris rack because the Yakima HangOut has anti-sway cradles that will keep the bikes more secure...

If your Impreza does have a spoiler, then hatch mounted bike racks are not recommended due to the additional weight that will be exerted on the spoiler.
