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!

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.



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!



by:

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.

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

  • Best Way to Carry 3 Bikes with 2016 Kia Forte5
    I have a great solution for you to carry your three bikes but since the hitches for your 2016 Kia Forte5 are Class I there isn't a way to carry more than two bikes with them. So instead your best option is a trunk mounted bike rack that can carry up to 3 bikes and is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. The best option is the Thule Raceway 3 bike rack part # TH56JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables...

  • Options for Carrying 4 Bikes on 2010 Chrysler Town & Country
    If you were wanting to carry four bikes on your Town and Country, you'd need to install a trailer hitch like part # 75579. You could then install an inexpensive 4 bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63380. The bike rack manufacturers have determined that attempting to carry more than three bikes on a bike rack strapped to the trunk or hatch lid would damage the vehicle, as the rack and the bikes would weigh too much. If you could carry the remaining bike in the rear of your...

  • Available 3-Bike Rack Options for 2010 Toyota Highlander
    Due to the fact that the support hooks would need to attach directly to the glass in the rear tailgate, none of our bike rack manufacturers recommend using a trunk mount rack on your vehicle. The glass lacks the strength to support the weight of the bikes and the carrier, and could shatter unexpectedly. This leaves a roof mount or a hitch mount option. If you have a bare roof, Rhino Rack the Vortex Aero Roof Rack that could be constructed using # RRVA137S-2 54 inch crossbars, the # RRRLKVA...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Fit 2005 Toyota Prius
    The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # TH45JV will fit your 2005 Toyota Prius. I have provided a link to the installation guide as well as a video reviewing the bike rack. In addition, If you intend to carry women's or children's bikes that do not come equipped with a horizontal bar, I recommend the Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. It provides level transportation of these types of bikes and gives more ground clearance and I have included a video link for a review of this product.

  • 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....

  • Will the 3 Bike Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack fit a 2004 Honda Civic EX
    I checked with Thule and they confirmed that the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2004 Honda Civic EX. The only limit they put on this rack on your (and every vehicle) is that you should not exceed the 99 lb weight capacity of the rack. I attached an install video for this rack for you to check out also. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for 3 Bikes for a 2015 Toyota Camry
    I do recommend the Thule OutWay trunk mount bike rack # TH56BV for your 2015 Toyota Camry. I own an older generation of this rack and it is by far the easiest trunk mount carrier that I have ever used. The 2 cables it uses, instead of 6 straps, make it easier to install and the cables are more durable and store in the rack. The Raceway also includes an integrated cable lock to deter bike theft and the access to the retractable cables can be locked to deter theft of the rack. The arms...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe For Trek Verve Bikes
    I am happy to help Marty. It is a good idea to use a 3 bike rack instead of a 2 bike trunk mounted rack especially if you do not want the bikes to touch. According to my research on the Trek Verve 1 bikes they are aluminum frames which can easily be scratched. It will also be easier to take the bikes on and off the rack if you have more room like you mentioned. I do recommend to put one bike in the cradles closest to the vehicle and one farther out to distribute the weight. The Thule Passage...

  • 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...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2004 Honda Accord Coupe That is Least Likely to Scratch Vehicle
    Any time you have a piece of equipment that's in direct contact with a painted surface on your vehicle, the possibility exists that the vehicle could get scratched. The important consideration is that you can greatly minimize the risk by ensuring that the surfaces of the rack and vehicle that touch each other are perfectly clean and free of grit. A coat of quality car wax on the vehicle surface can offer protection to the vehicle finish. It's also very important that the rack be set up...

  • What Does Non-Retractable Mean on the Saris Bones 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Carrier?
    The facet you are asking about is put there by our team. The Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL has anchor straps and coated clips that attach the carrier to your vehicle that simply need to be tied up so they don't have the extra strap flapping in the wind. For this bike rack you may also consider using a cable lock like # e98891. We have one bike rack that uses straps/cables that retract into the rack itself so no further securing is needed. It is the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack -...

  • 3 & 4-Bike Carrier Options for 2011 Chevrolet Impala
    No 4-bike trunk-mount racks are made for any car due to the extreme weight load this would present. The chance for damage to the trunk or rear hatch from all that weight (easily 150-lbs between the 4 bikes and the weight of the rack itself) would be too much for the car. We do offer 3-bike trunk racks for your 2011 Chevrolet Impala that you can see on the linked page. I like the Thule # TH56BV as it fits over most spoilers and includes locks. If you need to carry 4 bikes you can instead...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2011 Audi Q5
    Currently there is only 1 option for a trunk mount bike rack for your 2011 Audi Q5. You can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. It was designed with an extra upper arm structure that moves the top straps up and over the rear spoiler on vehicles equipped with one, so the rack does not put pressure on the spoiler and damage it. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you. None of the other trunk mount bike racks will fit your Q5. If you will be carrying...

  • Fit of Yakima HangOut Y02638 on 2008 Lexus IS350
    We have many different trunk mounted bike racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2008 Lexus IS350. You can see them by clicking the provided link. The Yakima HangOut 3, part # Y02638 you referenced is a fit for your vehicle, but you might also want to take a look at the Thule OutWay, part # TH56BV. Instead of using 6 straps to attach to the vehicle, the Raceway uses a much simpler 2 retractable cable arrangement that is much quicker and easier to use. This allows the rack to be installed...

  • 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...

  • Will Thule OutWay TH45JV Bike Rack Fit on 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
    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.

  • Bike Rack and Accessories Recommendation for a 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Carrying 3 to 4 Bikes
    The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV, would make a great choice for carrying 3 bikes on the rear of your 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan. The trunk mount racks are a good option, if you will not need to access the trunk area of the vehicle while traveling with the bikes on the vehicle. You would need to purchase a bike adapter bar, like part # TH982XT, for each bike that does not have a horizontal top tube that will slide over the bike rack arms. We have a video, see link, that shows this...

  • Thule OutWay Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack Fit on a 2011 Nissan Rogue
    The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack, # TH56BV, will fit on your 2011 Nissan Rogue as long as you do not have a rear spoiler. Thule says the clips must be placed in the gap at the front edge of the top of the hatch door and the lower clips should be placed at the bottom edge of the door. The rear wiper should not be used when the carrier is mounted. If you do have a rear spoiler, then there are no trunk mounted bike racks available for your vehicle because the rear spoiler cannot support the...

  • Trunk and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for a 2012 Kia Optima
    The Thule OutWay bike racks, # TH45JV, # TH56BV, and # TH65JV are excellent bike racks with many great features, but they are a little pricey. Another bike rack that you may be interested in from Thule is the Archway 3 Bike Carrier, # TH9010XT. This bike rack uses 4 rubber pads that rest on your vehicle to prevent scratching or damage to your vehicle. This bike rack will fit on your 2012 Kia Optima and gives extra room underneath to accommodate for a factory spoiler. You may also want...

    Yes, Thule does list the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, as a fit for a 2009 Hyundai Tucson. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Thule adapter bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level.

  • Best Trunk Bike Rack for 2008 Mercedes R350
    The best trunk mounted 3-bike bike rack around is the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack part # TH56BV. I checked with Thule and this rack is confirmed to fit your 2008 Mercedes-Benz R-Class. The OutWay 3 includes a number of advanced features, including the patented Thule Fit-Dial system which makes precise installation simple and repeatable. This carrier uses only 2 high-strength cables (rather than the 4-6 wear-prone nylon straps) to secure to your vehicle and it includes locks both for the...

It has an integrated cable lock and a locking hub. The Gateway Pro, # TH78VR, is very much the same minus the trunk/hatch lock. I have included some helpful links on these racks...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Subaru Impreza Hatchback With Spoiler
    The spoiler on your 2008 Subaru Impreza will prohibit the use of a trunk mount bike rack. If you were to remove the spoiler then you should be able to use a trunk mount rack and either the Raceway 2 or 3 ( # TH45JV or # TH56BV ) would fit. If you cannot remove the spoiler then I recommend using a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. For a trailer hitch to fit, your Impreza will need to have single exhaust. I recommend hitch # DT24959 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The...
