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.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Fit on a 2004 Honda PilotYou can carry bikes on the rear hatch of your 2004 Honda Pilot. There are only 2 rear mounted carriers that will work: The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack for 2 bikes, # HRF2, and for 3 bikes # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a...
view full answer... - Buying a Bike Rack for a 2009 Subaru Legacy Wagon or a 2009 Subaru Outback WagonIf your 2009 Subaru is a Legacy Wagon, then the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, will work on your vehicle according to Thule. If your 2009 Subaru is an Outback Wagon then Thule does not recommend using a hatch mounted carrier because the vehicle is unable to support the weight of the carrier. In either case I would recommend a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For either the Legacy wagon or the Outback wagon you can use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, # 75560. For...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Thule Passage # TH910XT with 2001 Lexus RX-300The Thule Passage Trunk Mounted 2 Bike Rack, part # TH910XT is indeed a fit for the 2001 Lexus RX300, but the 3 bike model, # TH911XT, or any 3 bike rack is not compatible, as the hatch on the RX300 does not have sufficient strength to support an additional bike. If you are planning on using the rack frequently, do yourself a favor and check out the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. Rather than the 6 strap and buckle attachment system typically found on trunk mounted bike racks, the OutWay...
view full answer... - Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Ford Escape Similar to Thule RacewayI checked with Thule and they do not fit any of their trunk bike racks on your Escape. That seems odd but we have to stand by their recommendation since they are the ones who test fit it on your vehicle. We have a very similar bike rack, the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 which is a confirmed fit for what it's worth. I attached an install video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Dodge Grand CaravanWe have many great trunk bike racks that fit your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan which I attached a link to see all of them. I really like the Thule part # TH45JVwhich is the easiest to install and most secure. Plus we had the chance to install it on a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan like yours and found it fit well. I attached an install video that shows it demoed on your vehicle as well.
view full answer... - Best 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Trunk Mount Bike RackBoth the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 and the (discontinued) Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top HRF2 are excellent bike racks, but since you have very specific requirements I recommend using the Thule OutWay # TH45JV on your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. The OutWay is the only trunk mount rack I know of on the market that has been given the green light to keep installed while opening the rear hatch. Other racks are prone to falling off or having hooks that can damage the vehicle, but Thule went through...
view full answer... - Thule OutWay 2-Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for 2015 Toyota Rav4I checked with Thule and basically the only trunk mounted bike rack they don't fit for your 2015 Toyota RAV4 is the platform OutWay that you referenced. The hanging style OutWay part # TH45JV does fit and would work well. I prefer recommending this style as it doesn't weigh as much as the platform rack and doesn't have the same reputation for denting vehicles like the early versions of the platform style rack. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount 2-Bike Rack for a 2019 Mini CountrymanThe 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...

The OutWay has a new cradling system with built-in road dampening technology (RDT) that will help to minimize the bikes from jostling around on the rack. It has adjustable arms to help keeps the bikes level while in transport in addition to cable locks...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Chevy CamaroI do have a solution for carrying bikes with your 2012 Chevy Camaro but no trunk mount bike racks will fit because they cannot be safely mounted. You will need to install a trailer hitch, like # 24850, and use a hitch mounted rack. For a rack, it must be compatible with a Class I trailer hitch and with a Class I you are limited to carrying a maximum of 2 bikes. I recommend the Swagman Titan, # S63400. This rack will fit a Class I, it features anti-sway cradles, it can tilt away from the...

If you wanted to then access the hatch you would want to remove the bikes and rack completely as Thule states not to open the hatch with the bike rack attached. This is the case for all trunk mounted bike racks because the hatch is not designed to support the weight of the rack and you could run into clearance issues in doing so. Now with that said, you would most likely be able to open the truck and...
view full answer... - Lever for Cable Release on the Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Rack 9001 No Longer WorksYou will first need to make sure that the unit is not locked or partially locked. This would only affect the cables on one side of original Raceway 9001 bike rack. If it is not that side then there is likely a part of the mechanism that is broken so that the drum that holds the cable is not disengaged into freewheel mode (which is what happens when you pull the lever). You may still be able to turn the wheel and ratchet out the cable. There is no replacement part available for this problem...

I do not recommend using the Thule OutWay # TH45JV to avoid any damage to the spoiler. There is an option though. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. (Note it does also work...

- Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2020 Honda Fit LX and SportThe Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack part # TH45JV is a fit for the 2020 Honda Fit models LX and Sport and would be a really great choice overall. This is widely considered to be one of the best trunk racks out there so you'd be really happy with it. 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...

Since the Cobra models have 8 cylinders, we cannot use it on you 1998 Mustang Cobra. If you plan on carrying bikes, you could use a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule OutWay # Th45JV. I attached a video of the OutWay for you to check out.
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Honda Fit Base ModelThe Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV is confirmed to fit your 2012 Honda Fit and I would strongly recommend it for you, although you would not be able to open your hatch with this rack installed. Since this rack is the easiest to remove and install this would be less of a problem than with other racks. 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...

What makes this lightweight 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 super easy. This carrier comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft. If...

Due to the weight of this rack and it's tendency to dent soft bumpers I think you would be better off getting the Thule OutWay 2 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...

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....

I recently helped someone choose a bike rack for the same vehicle. One option is to use a trunk mounted bike rack. According to Thule, there are 2 trunk mount bike rack options that will fit the 2011 Honda Fit. You could choose the OutWay # TH45JV or the Passage 2, # TH910XT. If you ever plan on doing any sort of towing, then installing a trailer hitch, like # C11064, would be the way to go. There are numerous...
view full answer... - Comparison Between Thule OutWay And Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike CarriersI would go with the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV versus the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT. These are both great racks with many Thule features in common. There are two main reasons that I would go with the OutWay # TH45JV over the Passage # TH910XT. The #1 reason is that the OutWay uses only two straps to install versus the 6 straps of the Passage. This makes the OutWay the easiest rack to install over all truck racks that I have seen. It's unique two strap system also...

This USA-made folding rack has been in continuous production for many years, thanks to its superior 2 rubber coated strap attachment system, included locks for both the rack and your loaded bikes and the protection of Thule's limited lifetime warranty.

The carrier folds for easy storage when not in use.
