Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2007 Chevy Aveo5
Question:
Will the Thule OutWay platform fit a Chevrolet Aveo5?
asked by: Janet
Helpful Expert Reply:
The hanging style of Thule OutWay part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Chevy Aveo5, but the platform style is not. I don't like to recommend the hanging style OutWay, # TH65JV, the early versions of the rack were denting the bumper of the vehicles due to the way it carried the weight of the bikes so I have been reluctant to recommend it for vehicles where it's even listed as a fit. The # TH45JV is an excellent bike rack that will work well for you.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
