Average Customer Rating:  4.6 out of 5 stars   (11 Customer Reviews)

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



by:

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:

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!

2021 BMW X3

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.

  • Thule OutWay 9001 2-Bike Rack Stuck Strap Solution
    I spoke to my contact at Thule and she informed me that for you situation there isn't a fix for your rack # TH9001XT. It would have to be a warranty rack replacement. Since this has a lifetime warranty you should be covered just fine. You will want to contact where you bought this rack from and they will organize the replacement of the rack. The problem you listed is actually one of the reasons they redesigned the rack to the next version, the # TH9001PRO and then they redesigned it again...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Toyota Venza with Rear Spoiler
    For a trunk mount bike rack that locks and holds 2 bikes that limits the options to the ThuleOutWay, # TH45JV. It is actually my number one choice for a rack and comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes. I have actually tested the rack on a 2011 Venza. It works but it does but some stress on that spoiler. If that is a concern I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the strap up and over the spoiler so no...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2014 Ford Escape
    I just spoke with my contact at Thule, and they do not offer a trunk mount bike rack for your 2014 Ford Escape. I have a solution for you, with a Yakakima rack. I would recommend the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Carrier, part # Y02637. This rack holds 2 bikes and has anti sway cradles with soft rubber straps to secure the bikes to the rack. I have linked you to a product review video for this rack. If you would like locks for this rack, you would need the # Y02623 to secure the rack to your...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
    We cannot recommend going against what the owners manual says. If it specifically says do not install a trailer hitch then you should not install a trailer hitch. But if it says do not tow a trailer with this vehicle, then that is different and it would be permissible to install a hitch as long as you are not towing with it. OutWay, # TH45JV. This is by far the best trunk mount rack available. What makes it so great are all of the features. It is easy to install and comes with locks for...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Platform Style Trunk Mount Bike Rack Dent a 2008 BMW 5 Series
    Actually, yes, the Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount bike rack, # TH65JV, is not the best option for a vehicle that has a fiberglass or otherwise soft bumper. It is meant more for vehicles that have a metal bumper like some trucks and SUVs. For your 2008 BMW 5 series I recommend the Thule OutWay hanging style rack # TH45JV. I have the 3-bike version of this rack, # TH56BV, and I have a plastic bumper on my vehicle. I have not experienced any denting or scratching using this rack....

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Focus Hatch and Electra Beach Cruisers
    For a trunk mounted bike rack that is confirmed to fit your 2012 Ford Focus 5 dr hatch I would recommend the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. The OutWay is one of our most popular trunk mounted bike racks and uses a new attachment system with only 2 rubber coated straps. This rack has a weight capacity of 66 lbs but only a 33 lb per bike weight limit so it should work well to carry your Electra Beach Cruiser but you should check the weight of your bike to be sure. Since you have...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota Prius
    The trunk mount bike rack that I would recommend for your 2012 Toyota Prius is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, that you referenced. This is one of our most popular trunk mount bike racks that has many features such as arcing arms arms for more clearance between the bikes, durable ratcheting cable straps and anti-sway cradles. If you would like a more economical recommendation, I would take a look at the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier, # TH88VR. This bike rack also uses arcing...

  • What Is The Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack For a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
    For your 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Rack # TH45JV. Its patented FitDial system makes the mounting of the rack quick and easy and the high-strength, retractable cables with hooks anchor the back to the Chevrolet Malibu Maxx at four points for stability. I have included a link to the installation instructions. While we do not have a video specifically showing the installation of the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Rack on a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx,...

  • Carrying Two Large Bikes on a 2017 Fiat 500L
    The Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV, is confirmed to fit your 2017 Fiat 500L. The rack will handle large bikes as long as they aren't too heavy. It can handle bikes up to 33 pounds each. You also probably need a bike frame adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005. This creates the horizontal tube to hang the bikes from to keep them level if the bikes don't have that bar. If your bikes are too heavy for the OutWay then I recommend adding a trailer hitch receiver to your Fiat because...

  • Installation Video of a Trunk Mounted Bike Rack on a Ford Edge
    I attached an install video of a trunk mounted bike rack on a similar Ford Edge as your 2010 model. The rack in the video is the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer. The carrier includes locks for the rack and the bikes to deter...

  • Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Lexus IS 250
    As long as your 2013 Lexus IS 250 is not a convertible then the best trunk mount bike rack option is going to be the Thule OutWay # TH45JV for 2 bikes or # TH56BV for 3 bikes. I own an older version of this rack and it is by far the easiest rack to mount that I have used. It has only 2 rubber coated straps rather than 6 straps like other bike racks. Only 2 attachment points to worry about making it easy to install and remove. If you do have a convertible then the best rack is going to...

  • Is Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier Recommended for 2011 Honda CR-Z
    The platform style Raceway is not recommended for your 2011 Honda CR-Z nor on any vehicle that does not have a metal bumper. The rack is heavy for a trunk mounted rack and after adding the weight of bikes to the rack it can deform or dent plastic and fiberglass. For a 2 bike rack I recommend going with the OutWay 2, which you referenced. This rack holds 2 bikes, but is much lighter, at only 13 pounds. We have not had any complaints about this rack denting vehicles. This rack is also very...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 lexus CT 200h
    My technical contact at Curt advised that their Class I trailer hitch # C11200 that fits the 2013 Lexus CT200H has not yet been confirmed as a fit for the 2014 model year. Newer vehicles can require a few months for the aftermarket manufacturers to test-fit their products and as of this point Curt has not yet confirmed this hitch as a fit for the 2014 CT 200H. I suggest you check back with us periodically on the hitch fit. If you are looking for a way to transport bikes you could use...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2010 Toyota Prius and 2011 BMW 328 Retractable Hardtop Convertible
    The Thule Passage trunk mount bike rack # TH910XT will fit both the 2010 Toyota Prius and the 2011 BMW 328 convertible. You can't go wrong with a Thule rack. 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...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack to fit a 2015 Ford Focus ST Hatchback
    Yes, the Thule Raceway part # TH45JV has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Ford Focus ST 5 door hatchback so it would be a great option. This is the nicest trunk rack on the market so it would be a great choice. 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 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.

  • Trunk Mount 2-Bike Rack for a 2019 Mini Countryman
    The Thule Passage # TH910XT is not a fit for your 2019 Mini Countryman but I do have a similar solution for you. The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike rack # TH45JV is a great choice. It is a similar alternative to the Passage and I actually think you would like this option more even if the Passage did fit because it uses 2 straps instead of 6 so it is easier to install and it has more of a stylish look over the basic bare-bones look of the Passage. The Outway comes with locks to secure the rack...

  • Recommendation for Bike Rack to Carry Womans and Kids Bike on 2012 Honda Civic Sedan
    If your 2012 Honda Civic is equipped with a trailer hitch, the best option would be to go with a hitch mounted carrier like the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, # S63360. This rack is economical and offers great features like anti-sway cradles and anti-rattle threaded hitch pin. If you Civic is not equipped with a hitch, your best option would be to go with one of our trunk mounted racks. I have included a link to those that have been confirmed to fit your vehicle. My absolute favorite is...

  • Will Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit 2014 Nissan Sentra With a Spoiler
    As 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....

    Since you normally can't install a hitch on a leased vehicle your best option would be a trunk mounted bike rack for your 2015 Mazda 3 Sedan. The nicest rack we carry that has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy. And it also uses the OnKey...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Carrier For 2012 Mazda 3 Sedan
    The 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...

  • Hitch/Bike Carrying Options for 2011 Saab 9-3 Aero Dual Exhaust Sedan
    According to Curt, they do not have a hitch fit for the 9-3 Sedan with dual exhaust. 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...

    Yes indeed! The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV is a confirmed fits for your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon. Even if you only need to transport 2 bikes you might consider the 3-bike rack # TH56BV since it will give you more room between your bikes and make loading a bit easier. It will also allow you to grow to 3 bikes in the future if needed.

My personal favorite trunk mount bike rack would be the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV, which is much easier to install and remove because it uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks.
