Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2023 Subaru Ascent
Question:
Looking for a trunk mounted bike rack for 2 ~30 lb bikes, I have a 2023 Subaru Ascent. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
I recommend going with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH45JV. This bike rack can carry up to two 33 lb bikes, measures 24-1/2" long x 30-3/4" wide x 31" tall, and is American made.
If you were open to another suggestion, a hitch mounted rack would be the better choice. Hitch mounted bike racks are far easier to set up and take down, and can hold much more weight usually than trunk mounted racks.
I also understand not wanting to also buy and install a trailer hitch if you don't already have one, however if you do have one from the factory, the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR is competitively priced and would work great as well.
