Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier That Will Fit 2012 Hyundai Sonata And 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
Question:
Hello, I own a 2012 Hyundai Sonata and a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, and Im trying to find a bike rack that fits both cars. Am I correct that the Thule pro 2-Bike rack TH88VR and Saris Bones 2-Bike Carrier SA805BL meet my criteria? If so, which one would you recommend? Also, are there any other bike racks that fit both cars and whats your opinion on those?

Expert Reply:
The Thule Gateway # TH88VR and Saris Bones # SA805BL are both similar bike carriers with a lot of the same features.
The Saris Bones # SA805BL is listed as a fit for your Sonata but not for your Santa Fe. The Gateway # TH88VR is listed as a fit for both of your vehicles.
This bike carrier uses 6 straps to secure it to the vehicle and has anti-sway cages to help prevent the bike from banging into each other. This bike rack folds down when not in use for easy storage. The bike carrier can carry two bikes that weigh up to 35 lbs each.
We also have another bike carrier that I really like. It's the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # Y02634. This 2-bike trunk rack features a 4-strap mounting system and interlocking HUB for quick setup on your Hyundai Santa Fe. The adjustable arms have SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ZipStrip straps for easy bike loading. Integrated locks secure bikes and rack.
