Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.

The rack is great just what I was looking for.
The only issue I see is the straps are plastic so after using them for a little bit they broke. I had to order replacements. Let’s see how much time they last!
by: BillGBW07/03/2022
Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!

The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.

- Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Ford MustangThere are several trunk mounted bike racks that are confirmed to fit your 2013 Ford Mustang GT (see link to the right). But the one I like the most is the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. The spoiler that is on your Mustang wouldn't be an issue at all either. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for an Audi A4 Avant Station WagonPossibly, but I would need to know the year of your Audi A4 wagon. This vehicle went into production in 1995 so that covers many years. I checked all of these years and if you have a 1995 or 1996 there are no options. But if you have a 1997 to present then you can install the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. I recommend this trunk mount bike rack the most because it has a plethora of features and because it installs and removes with the least time and effort. It also includes locks for both the...
view full answer... - 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Trunk Mount Bike Rack RecommendationIf your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a rear spoiler, and from my research it most likely is, you might want to consider the Hollywood Rack Over the Top # HRF2. Currently we only have this bike rack in 2 bike configuration. This bike rack is one of our newest products and is specifically designed to be used on vehicles with a rear spoiler. The design of this trunk mounted bike rack reduces the stress that can be placed on the rear spoiler when using a trunk mount bike rack. The...
view full answer... - Will Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack fit a 2011 Jeep Grand CherokeeI checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier # TH45JV that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee so it should work very 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 Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT 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...

This carrier has the patented FitDial system that makes installation easy and also features the One Key System that deters thieves and secures the carrier to the vehicle and also secures the bikes to the carrier. This carrier also folds flat when not in use for easy storage. I have attached a link to an installation video for...

I checked with Thule and both of your vehicles are compatible with this rack. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy...

Currently we do not have any hitches for your vehicle. Hitches will have their rated capacity only when installed as intended by the manufacturer on the specific vehicle for which they were designed. We cannot recommend any attempt to alter the hitch or adapt it to fit on a different vehicle than intended. However, we can help you with a trunk-mount bike...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Forester with SpoilerSince your 2014 Subaru Forester has a spoiler I would recommend you go with the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139. This rack is specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers and since you expressed concern about a trunk rack damaging your vehicle, this rack is designed to minimizes the pressure on the spoiler. You could also use the premium Thule OutWay part # TH45JV that you referenced. It is also a confirmed fit, but it would also put pressure on...

It does not have the reach and adjustability to clear a spoiler. For a trunk mount rack that will work with the spoiler I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. It is the easiest trunk-mount bike rack to install and works great with factory spoilers. have linked a video review for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top...

The # C11140 hitch is a fit for the Sport Combi wagon model, but it won't work on the sedan model because the undercarriage is different at the rear. If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your vehicle, Thule offers an extremely easy to use trunk mounted rack option, the OutWay, available in a 2 bike version as # TH45JV or a 3 bike version as # TH56BV. Rather than the 6 not-so-easy buckle and strap...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for Honda Fit 2007 and For Hyundai Elantra 2007I have a solution for you, but Thule is very strict about their stuff only being available in the area it is originally sold in. I don't have any fit info for your 2007 Honda Fit or Elantra with a Thule Sweden bike rack. If you find a way to make the rack fit on your vehicle I can't recommend you open the trunk with it installed. For a trunk rack that I can confirm as a fit for both vehicles (as long as the Fit isn't a Sport) you would want the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Carrier For 2012 Mazda 3 SedanThe bike rack I recommend for your Mazda 3 is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. There are a couple reasons I recommend this bike carrier. This carrier is lightweight at about 20 lbs, and features only 2 retractable cables to secure the bike carrier to the back of your Mazda, instead of the 4-6 cables typically found on trunk-mount bike racks. The bike rack also features a lock that secure the bike rack to the vehicle and a cable lock that secures the bikes to the carrier, which helps deter...
view full answer... - Will Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit 2014 Nissan Sentra With a SpoilerAs long as the spoiler is factory installed, the Thule OutWay trunk mount bike rack you mentioned would work very well. The rack is my personal favorite because of how simple and fast it is to install and remove from the vehicle. The rack is lockable to the vehicle, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to help secure the bikes to the rack. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005....

The spoiler that is on your Mustang wouldn't be an issue at all either. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system.

view full answer... - Roof and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 BMW 328When it comes to a roof rack for your 2010 BMW 328, I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack System with Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK292. This roof rack not only looks great but the aerodynamic crossbars provide a much quieter ride. In addition to the roof rack, you will also need a bike carrier. For a carrier that allows you to transport the bike with both wheels still mounted, I suggest going with the Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier # TH599000. You will need...

If you have potential need to ever tow a trailer or to use other hitch-mount accessories like a cargo basket then the investment in a hitch receiver may be better for the long-term. If the hitch receiver option appeals to you the link provided will show you all three Class III 2-inch hitch receivers available...

I have the 3 bike version of this rack and me and my family love it. It is the easiest bike rack to use that I have come across. 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 # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use...

My contact at Thule tells me that their testing has shown that the spoiler that overhangs the rear hatch is strong enough to use a trunk mounted rack without being damaged. Of the various Thule racks available, I really like the OutWay, part # TH45JV for a 2-bike model or # TH56BV for a 3-bike model. Rather than the 4-6 buckles and straps used by other racks, the Raceway...

It uses 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.

I actually own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is the best trunk mount bike rack I have used.

view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Toyota HighlanderWe do have 1 trunk mount bike rack that is listed as a fit for the 2009 Toyota Highlander. The issue is that most trunk mount racks cannot be used because of the rear spoiler at the back of the vehicle at the hatch. It cannot support the weight and stresses of a trunk mount bike rack. The solution is to use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. This rack has an extra structural piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so they do not put any stress on it. Since...
view full answer... - Can a Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 BMW 3 Series ConvertibleWe do not list the OutWay bike racks as a fit for the 2013 BMW 3-Series convertibles because Thule does not list them as a fit. While it can physically be mounted on the vehicle Thule has deemed that it is not an ideal fit so excluded it for the convertible models. For a similar bike rack that does fit you can use the Saris Bones, # SA805BL. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

The arms are different lengths but the arm cushion comes in sections on the racks so you'll just be replacing one section with this replacement part as opposed to a whole sleeve.
