Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2008 Acura RDX  

Question:

Hi I have an Acura RDX 2008 without roof rails. I dont have a trailer hitch. Is there a bike rack that will work?

Helpful Expert Reply:

You have two options. First, you could use a suction-cup type carrier like # 298-BH1302 or # 298-BK1910-BK.

The second option, and my recommendation, is to add a hitch like the Curt # 13536. Then you would have many choices of bike racks like the hanging rack by Thule, the Camber # TH9058.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
