Question:
I have found a Thule Archway trunk bike rack used for a great price. Will it fit my 2006 hyundai tucson, and stay sturdy for a 12 hr drive?

The Thule Archway is indeed a fit for your Hyundai Tucson. Thule makes a quality product, and as long as the straps that attach the rack to the vehicle, and the rubber cradle straps are in good shape, the rack will be perfect for longer trips.
For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle.
