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
- Recommended Trunk Mounted 3-Bike Rack for 2019 Acura RDXWe do offer trunk mounted bike racks from Yakima that would work on your 2019 Acura RDX. I'd recommend the # Y02633 FullBack 3-bike rack that can handle 3 bikes weighing up to 35 lbs apiece. The rack features an integrated cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack as well as a steel reinforced security strap that gets shut in the rear hatch to secure the rack to the vehicle. Yakima makes an excellent product, and this rack would meet all the parameters you mentioned. You can see a product...
view full answer... - Recommendations for Carrying 3 Bikes with a 2010 Dodge ChallengerI do have a solution that would allow you to carry 3 bikes with your 2010 Dodge Challenger, but there are no trunk-mounted bike rack options that are confirmed to fit your vehicle. What I would recommend you do is get a Curt Hitch # 13465 and get a 3-bike hitch mounted bike carrier. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for this hitch for you to check out. For a 3-bike rack I would recommend you get a Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack # S63365. This rack has anti-sway...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendations to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2004 Chrysler PacificaWe do have trunk mounted bike rack options for your 2004 Chrysler Pacifica, however, Yakima, the manufacturer of Prorack racks, states that their trunk mounted racks are not compatible with your vehicle. I can also tell you that it is not recommended to carry more than 2 bikes on a trunk mounted bike rack on your vehicle because the weight of a three or more bikes could damage your rear hatch. We do offer Thule trunk mounted bike racks like the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV, which...
view full answer... - Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Toyota HighlanderI believe the best trunk mounted rack option for your 2004 Toyota Highlander would be the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier # TH45JV. This rack is one of the easiest to install, most secure due to the rubber coated straps and one of the most lightweight racks we offer. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without a horizontal top tube you might also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube for the rack to attach...
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... - 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... - Trunk/Spare Tire Mount Bike Racks for a 2009 Dodge Caliber and 2005 Hummer H3First, the Thule OutWay platform rack # TH65JV is best suited for vehicles that have a metal bumper. This is because on plastic or fiberglass bumpers the weight of the rack and bikes can deform the bumper. With that said this rack will fit your 2009 Dodge Caliber but not the Hummer H3 because of the spare tire on the back. For the Caliber a better option would be the Raceway 2 # TH45JV because it weighs less and is much less likely to cause any damage. It is a hanging style rack rather...

(Please note that manufacturers do not offer single-bike carriers; the 2-bike size is the smallest available.) Bike carriers will vary considerably in their materials, features and prices. Many are made of steel but some offer aluminum construction to minimize their weight. Some are great basic models while others will include features such as the capability...
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... - Are Keys Included with the Thule OutWay 2? The Thule OutWay - 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV comes with two keys for the integrated locks. I went ahead and attached a screenshot from the instruction manual that shows all the components. The reason why the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 appear as an additional accessory is because other Thule accessories (crossbars, towers, roof racks, snow equipment racks, cargo boxes) have the option for using the cylinders as extra security measures.

- 4-Bike Transport Options for 2016 BMW 328i xdriveSince we do not offer any hitches for your 2016 BMW 328i xdrive your bike carrying options are roof-rack-mount carriers and trunk-mount bike racks. No one bike carrier can handle four bikes on your specific vehicle so you will need to put some on the roof and some on a truck-mount rack. Trunk-mount bike racks top out at 3-bike capacity and you can see all 2- and 3-bike options on the linked page. The one I suggest is the Thule OutWay 2-bike rack # TH45JV which mounts using 2 rubber coated...

A great feature of the Thule OutWay is the anti-sway cradles that help keep your bikes from moving when being carried. If you will be carrying women, children or alternative-framed bicycles, I would recommend using the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. The Thule Adapter Bar allows you to carry those types of bicycles level on your bike rack. I have linked instructions...

Unfortunately, we do not currently have a hitch that will fit your EV model of 2021 Kia Niro. However, a great alternative solution is a trunk rack. For that route, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 # TH45JV or the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. Both OutWay racks have a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and comes with one-key system locks to deter the theft of your bikes from the rack as well as the rack from your vehicle. If you have bikes that have...

There are several options that will fit a 2003 Honda Accord sedan and I have included a link to them for you. Out of all the options, the rack I recommend the most which is also the easiest to use, install and remove, AND has the most features is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. What makes this rack so easy to use are the 2 rubber coated straps used to secure the rack...

This is a confirmed fit for your Terrain and will work really great with the Hullavator since Thule makes this too. The WingBars are aerodynamically shaped too which helps prevent wind noise. This configuration has been tested to work on your vehicle and with the Terrain so it will work really well overall.
view full answer... - Will a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit on a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle with Rear Mounted SpoilerI do have a solution for carrying bike on your new Beetle. But first, I did some research on the 2012 VW New Beetle. All of the images I could find showed a spoiler that is below the rear window glass. In this location, a trunk mount bike rack will not fit because of the protrusion of the spoiler. If the spoiler is above the rear window glass, then the straps will be applying pressure to the spoiler that it is not rated to handle and you will not be able to safely mount a trunk mount...

The OutWay among the most popular rack choices among our customers, because the rack is so easy to install and remove. For women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level...

I have a better rack for you to use instead. The Thule OutWay part # TH45JV is specifically designed for fitting over spoilers like what you have so it would be your best option. It is the easiest to install of all of the trunk bike racks and comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft. I attached a video for you to check out. If...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze HatchbackYou are correct that the Thule Outway # TH45JV does not fit your 2017 Chevrolet Cruze hatch. Instead, I'd recommend going with the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR which is a fit for your Cruze. This bike rack, identical to the Outway, is a trunk mounted 2 bike rack, is almost 5-lbs lighter than the Outway, and has a higher capacity at 35-lbs per bike versus the Outway that can only handle 33-lbs per bike.
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2012 Nissan LeafAccording to Thule, none of their trunk mounted bike racks are a fit for your 2012 Nissan Leaf, as the glass hatch does not make a suitable attachment point for the upper hooks of their racks, including the OutWay # TH45JV bike rack you've asked about. Yakima offers the Fullback 2 bike rack, part # Y02634 that uses special glass hatch attachments that would allow the rack to be used on your vehicle. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames,...

Of the available options, I would recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. The OutWay uses two easily adjustable rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle, versus the 6 straps and buckles used by other racks. The cable system allows the rack to be installed or removed in a matter of moments. This rack comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter...

This design is our most popular selling trunk bike rack. The Raceway bike rack is the easiest bike rack to install and remove. It uses only 2 retractable cables instead of 6 straps to secure the rack to the vehicle for a fast and easy installation. It has a 2 bike capacity with a total weight capacity of 13 lbs. The OutWay bike rack will not damage your vehicle as long as you do not over tighten...

The Bones weighs less, costs less, and contacts the vehicle in fewer places. Check out the review video I attached for more info. The nicest trunk rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Thule OutWay # TH45JV though. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other...
