Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.
The Gateway Pro lets you carry 3 bikes on the back of your sedan, hatchback, or van. Adjustable legs with oversize pads fit the contour of your vehicle. Adjustable arms with HideAway anti-sway cradles keep your bikes level during transport, and they fold down for parking in tight spaces. It installs easily with 6 straps with nylon-coated hooks and a FitDial system with vehicle-specific settings. It includes a Thule One-Key System cable lock that secure your bikes to the rack, and you can fold it flat for storage in your trunk or garage.
HideAway Anti-Sway Cradles with Ratcheting Straps
The Gateway Pro has HideAway anti-sway cradles that secure each bike at 3 points - twice along the top tube and once along the seat post or downtube. This helps to keep your bikes from rocking back and forth and bumping into each other, or your vehicle. The soft rubber cradles are set 7" apart on the arms, preventing your bikes from becoming tangled on the rack. You can remove the lower straps and fold the cradles up against the arms to make it easier to slide your bikes onto the rack.
Adjustable Dual Arms
The Gateway Pro has adjustable arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. The built-in levers allow the arms to be adjusted up and down. Just flip the lever up, rotate the arm to the desired position, then flip the lever down to lock the arm in place. This helps to keep your bikes level on the rack and provides increased ground clearance.
The levers also allow you to fold down the arms when the rack is not in use and to fold the rack flat for storage.
6-Strap Installation with Fit-Dial System
The rack installs quickly and easily with 6 nylon straps that keep it anchored in place. The steel hooks on these extra-long straps have a nylon coating to prevent scratches on your vehicle, and the straps tighten in place with easy-to-use, backpack-style cinches.
The FitDial system lets you easily adjust the rack to fit the shape of your trunk, and the long, arcing tubes are designed to fit over most factory spoilers. Simply press the Quick-Fit levers and rotate the base until the centers of the levers line up with the numbers on the dials. These vehicle-specific numbers are specified in the instructions included with the rack.
Holders with hook-and-loop tabs are included to bind up the excess strap length when the rack is mounted so the straps don't flap in the wind. They also keep the straps nice and neat when the rack is folded in storage.
Oversized foam pads on the Gateway Pro's upper and lower bases grip your trunk or rear hatch to keep the rack firmly in place during transport. The soft padding helps prevent scratches and scuff marks on your vehicle.
Integrated Cable Lock
The rack includes an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack. It has a Thule One-Key System lock cylinder that can be swapped out if you own other Thule products and want to use the same key to lock them all. The cable lock extends from the tip of the left arm, threads around your bike's frames, and secures to the arm. It retracts back into the arm when not in use.
There is also an available locking strap (sold separately) that secures the rack to your vehicle.

Still working great on my Hyundai Elantra sedan! It's used mostly to carry one bike, but have used it with three bikes with no problems. Easy to put on the car, and easy to store it in the car when not in use.
by: Pam06/17/2022
I did my research to make sure this 3 bike rack would fit my car. Unfortunately when it’s properly attached to my Honda Accord, the 3rd bikes petals rub up against my license plate and trunk therefore scratching my paint. Contacted etrailer and sent them pics. Very unhappy that they would suggest that I only use 2 bikes so it doesn’t damage my car. Defeats spending more $ on a 3 bike rack

Nissan Pathfinder
I purchased this bike rack for my Nissan Pathfinder after not being able to find a rack for months due to COVID. When I saw it I jumped at the chance to get it because of the brand name and just the opportunity to use it. This rack is sturdy and reliable. I have had it for about a year and it has not let me down. Also, the staff at etrailer was really helpful to me since I'd never purchased a bike rack before, I was confident I was doing the right thing by going with them for the purchase.
by: Michael04/08/2022
It is a good bike carrier but if I had it to do again I would bite the bullet and buy a trailer hitch for my Jetta and go with a hitch mount. I believe it is more secure.

The Thule Gateway Pro 3 does fit our Kia Sedona 2010 as promised. Three adult mountain bikes fit on the rack, but tightly, with no extra space between.

etrailer customer service is the BEST. I referred the site to two other friends.
The bike rack is a great product. Following the directions it was easy to strap on. The bikes are a lot sturdier than a cheaper brand I was using before.
My only issue is that the right strap keeps slipping off. I have tightened it but it still falls off. I noticed the right bottom clip is silver and not black like the other 5.
by: David 12/10/2020
The product is very well made and will meet the needs of our family. The product is a gift to our daughter and her husband and will they will welcome the use of it instead of piling the bikes in the cargo area.

They have only used it a couple of times, but were more than satisfied with the product. Glad we found the site.
by: Elliott 08/14/2020
Outstanding bike rack that is sturdy and easy to mount and use. We go to the beach and go riding every weekend now and save a ton of money by bringing our own bikes. I like the fact that the rack has a locking feature.

Excellent product...made in the USA. etrailer.com was great to deal with. The communication was excellent and shipping was prompt once they received the rack from the company. I would buy it again from etrailer.com.

We are able to transport 3 adult bikes successfully with this. It took us a while to get everything just right the first time and to make sure the bikes don't touch, but it seems to work well for our purpose. Unfortunately, one of the straps was missing in the box. We only received 8 straps instead of the required 9 straps for tying down the bikes, and I called about that right away. Hope we will get the replacement strap shipped to us soon so we don't have to resort to using a zip tie.
by: Nicholas07/10/2020
Had some trouble with the side hooks/straps coming loose. Eventually, I took the excess strap that goes through the tightening mechanism and tied them together to keep the straps tight. That seemed to work. I held 2 adult bikes and a youth bike well though. Easy to put up and take down.

Got this present for a very special good boy last year and let me tell you he loves it! Easy to install, held the bikes easily. Two thumbs up! My only complaint was that it was hard to get through that chimney.

wish thernwere an easy way to lift the arms verically so pedestrians wouldnt put their eye out.
maybe you should include small bright flags to attach the ends of the arms!

It's great. And the #8 setting on the angle just happens to work on our other car also so switching between cars is easy.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Can Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Carrier Transport Giant Talon Trail BikeThe Giant Talon 27.5.1 trail bike has a slanted top frame tube which means that transporting it on a hanging style bike carrier like the Thule Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR will be made simpler and safer by use of an adapter bar like Thule's # TH982XT. The adapter bar connects between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier's arms. This will help keep the bike level to maintain safe ground clearance at the wheels. Please refer to the linked video.
view full answer... - Will the Thule Archway Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2014 Chevy EquinoxThe Thule Gateway Pro trunk mount bike rack # TH78VR, is listed as a fit for your 2014 Chevy Equinox. If your Equinox has that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the rear hatch though I recommend a different rack. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3 has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is put on it. I have linked a video showing how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that...

I have included a link to them for you to review. Since your 2010 BMW X5 has a rear spoiler, the best option is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Carrier, part # HRF2-3. The bike rack is specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers. It has rubber coated clips which will protect your vehicle from scratches. If you will be transporting women's or childrens' bikes you will need a bike adapter...

This lightweight rack is loaded with features like anti-sway cradles and integrated cable lock. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Three Bike Rack Recommendations for 2007 Mazda 3 w/ SpoilerWe do indeed offer some trunk mounted bike racks that would be compatible with your 2007 Mazda 6 equipped with a spoiler. The Saris Bones is a nice bike rack, but I don't care for the small feet, which concentrate the weight of the rack and bikes on a small area of the trunk lid. This can cause denting. If it's a Sedan and not a Hatchback model, a good entry-level choice would be the Thule Passage, part # TH911XT. The rack's not long on frills, but the adjustable fit dial helps tailor...
view full answer... - Recommended Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2019 Honda FitThere are a number of Thule trunk mount bike racks that fit on your 2019 Honda Fit as long as it doesn't have the factory spoiler. Of them I recommend the Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR for the 2-bike model or part # TH78VR for the 3-bike. It's a high quality rack with some of Thule's great features like the FitDial and Hold Fast cradles without really bringing up the price tag. I've linked the complete list of Thule racks for your Fit as well; however, like I said, they won't fit if you...

The Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803 will fit though! I've included a video so you can get a closer look!
view full answer... - Recommendations for a Hitch and Bike Rack on a 2014 Kia SoulI can help you pick out a setup for your 2014 Kia Soul. The Draw-tite hitch # 24915 you mentioned is the custom fit class 1 hitch for your 2014 Soul. This hitch has a max of 200 lbs. tongue weight and an 1-1/4 inches by 1-1/4 inches receiver opening. All Class 1 hitches have a capacity of 2 bikes only on the rack even if it is a 3 bike rack. My suggestion is to go with a roof rack setup for the third bike or a trunk mounted 3 bike rack. As far as the Swagman # S63365, this bike rack...

- How to Carry Three Bikes on a 2017 Mazda 6 Grand TouringWe currently have two no-drill trailer hitch receivers for your 2017 Mazda 6 Grand Touring which are the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24908 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11356. They both have a Class I rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening and will be limited to a max of two bikes. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Sportframe trailer hitch receiver as this option will not require you to purchase an additional support strap part # 18050 like the...

This is a Class-l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Unfortunately, none of the hitches we currently offer will be concealed as you will be able to see the cross tube and receiver opening. Since you don't want to see a hitch when not in use, another option I recommend is the Thule Gateway Pro # TH78VR trunk mount bike rack. It's a 3-bike trunk rack with a maximum weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike. You can fold...

Since you plan on carrying childrens bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. This adapter works great on bikes with smaller frames to provide a horizontal top tube for the bike rack to attach to. Check out the review video for this product that I attached also.

This thoroughly-engineered carrier includes locks for both your bikes and for the rack itself, uses a superior 2-cable attachment system and includes Thule's patented Fit-Dial mounting system for easy installation. It is built to last, made in the USA and backed by Thule's limited lifetime warranty. Few companies stand behind their products the way Thule consistently...
view full answer... - Availability of a 4 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2011 Jeep Grand CherokeeFirst, there are some companies that make a 4 bike trunk mount rack but we do not carry them. Four bikes on a trunk mount bike rack will put a lot of stress on the vehicle and I do not recommend it. The best way to carry 4 bikes is with a trailer hitch. You will have to consult your lease agreement, or the dealer where you leased the vehicle, to determine if a hitch can be put on and if there are restrictions on the type of hitch or who can install it. The same is going to go with any...

You will need to keep in mind on both vehicles that the rear wiper cannot be used when the rack is attached and that there is sufficient clearance between the attachment straps and the muffler when installing the rack. Thule has 3 three bike trunk mount racks that are recommended for both vehicles, I will list them below from most economical to most feature rich.

view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 X5 for Townie Female BikeFor a trunk mounted bike rack the Thule Gateway Pro part # TH78VR that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 BMW X5 and would do an excellent job with your two bikes as long as they are 35 lbs each or less. The female Townie bike racks have notoriously low frame tubes so you will need a frame adapter bar like part # 64005 to allow the bike to be carried level. I attached a review video that details how this adapter works.

For that, the first thing you need is a hitch like the etrailer 2 inch hitch receiver # E98846 for an easy and secure place to mount the bike rack. A great bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the Thule Getaway Pro Rack and the Thule Passage Bike Rack?Besides the integrated one key system cable lock on the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR, another key difference is that the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR has ratcheting straps where the bike attaches instead of the fixed hole fittings on the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT. The ratcheting straps allow for a more snug, secure fit than the cradles on the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT. With that being said, I recommend the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT...

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Bike Carrier for a 2006 Subaru OutbackIf your 2006 Subaru Outback is NOT a Sport model then you can install a Class III trailer hitch, # 75560, and carry all 3 bikes. Then you could use 3-bike carrier like # S63365 which can tilt. It also fits both 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitches. I have linked a video review for you. For towing you will need a few more items. I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes...

If you have a women's bike with a step through frame or a bike with a sharply angled top frame tube like a hybrid bike, you'll want to use a frame adapter bar like part # SA3040.

I reached out to Thule who advised that using a bike adapter bar with the bikes would help with the spacing. I have linked the bike adapter bars that we have below. You will also want to make sure that you are using the anti sway cages and the long strap that comes with the bike rack. They will help hold the bikes in place.
