- Carrier weight: 13 lbs
- Limited lifetime warranty
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 2 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.

Exactly as advertised, transported 2 Trek bikes on on the back of my 2016 Toyota Avalon without issue - travelling from Boston MA to Green Bay WI. Outstanding price buying this item as open-box. etrailer's website is the best I could find on the web with name brand racks, automated compatibility vehicle check, and they they shipped overnight.

The delivery was quicker than I expected, but apparently the item was not checked before shipping. There was a key strap missing. I called customer service and they said they would send me a replacement part. If that goes well, I would move my rating to four stars from two.

We use this on a Mazda 6 and it works perfectly. We have a tandem bike and it is securely fastened and travels well. I highly. recommend this product.
by: Todd06/09/2021
This rack fits well on our 2015 Toyota RAV4. There are six attachment points, each with a coated hook on the end to fit around the trunk lid. Once mounted and tightened, the rack is comfortably stable and solid. Bikes are easy to mount as well, with just a few straps. Note that a BMX bike, due to its small geometry, will not fit.
Also of note, the hooks on the ends of the two straps which lead out in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions will chafe the car's paint. I wrapped those in electrical tape in order to minimize the effect. Overall, a good choice for a trunk rack.
by: Edward08/30/2022
The bike rack itself is OK. We noticed that the strap leaves scratches on the trunk. We plan to use some type of soft material under the straps when we use the rack next month.
by: Marvin07/05/2021
A terrible disappointment.... the attachment of the bike to the rack with undersized and difficult to impossible to get on or off zip ties essentially made it useless....
Mounted it to my car, struggled to get the ties secured, and had the same issue each time taking the bike on and off.... as soon as I got home I put it in my trunk and never even Thought of using it again... last week gave it away to a staffer in my apartment house... A complete waste of money, & SHOCKED that no one at Thule ever figured it out... I was with an experienced biker who had a different rack, but his ties were bigger, better located and much easier to use... This was apparently the only trunk rack that would fit my BMW 5 series
by: Fawn04/23/2021
The bike rack overall was very good but my Toyota Corolla had a rear spoiler making the installation less than ideal. I adjusted the rack to fit the car but that left the bikes to sit in less than ideal position. On short trips it was fine but on a long 600 mile trip the bikes straps started coming loose. One completely came off. Also I may add there was a strong wind blowing too. On the way back we tied the bike down with extra nylon straps and all was good. For long trips I would add the extra straps and not just rely on the straps that came with the bike rack. Otherwise we had no trouble with the bike rack.
by: Gene06/02/2021
The Thule bike rack and security strap work very well. We had to purchase an extra bar for my wife's bicycle. Consequently, her bike doesn't fit as perfectly to the rack's tightening straps as mine. But overall, with some adjustments, we were able to make it work.
by: Christian 05/11/2021
I've owned this trunk rack for a year, and it has held up wonderfully. It easily transports two bikes, even at highway speeds. The build of the rack makes me confident that my bikes aren't going anywhere. It's easy to take on and off, too.
I initially purchased this one because cheaper bike racks looked flimsy. I'm very happy I got this one, considering how reliable it is and how often I use it (nearly everyday).
by: John08/25/2021
Poor design.
Straps that hold bike onto rack are not secured to rack when not holding bike. Unless you thread them in a closed position, they slide out of rack are lost. Making it even more annoying is that replacement straps have not been available for month. I’ve been using tree ties that I purchased at hardware store.

Good solid product with terrible instructions and tiny images. I was also disappointed it took so long to deliver. I was under the impression that it was going to be less than two weeks rather than five.

Rack works fine for short trips and is pretty easy to put on now that we have it figured out.
by: Karen10/20/2021
Overall, the bike rack works really well. However, the side and bottom trunk gate clip system loses its tension after being tightened and tend to slip off so that the rack is hanging by the top clips only. We have had to stop a couple of times to tighten the side straps. Other than that, love the rack.
by: Shannon 10/30/2020
The product is great, and etrailer's customer service is beyond excellent! I needed this for a last-minute trip. The first bike rack I ordered was back-ordered for a couple of weeks, and customer service emailed me immediately to let me know. Korren was super helpful in selecting a replacement rack when I called in, and we ended up with a rack that is perfect for our needs.

When opened one adjustable arm was dislocated and very difficult to get back into its correct position. The clamps advertised as rubber coated are more metallic than I would like. The last thing I want is scratched trunk edges. Installation booklet could be improved. I had to watch online videos to feel comfortable I was installing it right. Seems to be sturdy, I like the lock.

While it took longer to arrive than I expected, the bike rack is everything I expected. Just takes a while to decipher the instructions. Once that is done, installation doesn't take too long.

I liked the fact that there are many products to choose from.
There was excellent descriptions of the products and their functions.
Ordering was very easy and my trunk bicycle rack arrived right on time.
The bike rack also arrived in excellent condition.
Thank you "etrailer".

I have only used the rack twice but it fits and keeps my one bike in a perfect secure position. I wish that it was easier to attach But would buy it again and highly recommend

I have sold the car and the rack and have purchased a new suv . I stick with my original recommendation that this bike rack was a superior product wish the mounting instructions were better and I would highly recommend e trailer .com because they are totally professional
by: Mark 04/16/2021
Works exactly as described, better than investing in a hitch mounted system for my needs (pleasure biking 1x week)
by: Ashley03/20/2022
This bike rack is incredibly quick and easy to put on/take off, is very strong and durable, does well in any weather. I’ve had it for a year and have had absolutely no issues with it. Great quality and price. Would definitely purchase again.
by: Roberta09/25/2021
Nice rack, easy to assemble. However bike pedal scratched trunk of my car. Not sure if it was how I mounted the bike but it seemed secure and in the right position before I drove the car.

Very nice, solid rack! Very good quality and attention to detail. Extra ties for the excess strap length is really appreciated. Fits my Honda H-RV perfectly too. I did have some difficulty raising the arms at first though because they were too tight. With a little elbow grease I did finally succeed in raising them. Could be a better design I think as it shouldn’t be that difficult. Overall though, I do think it’s an excellent product and working with Etrailer was superb.
by: Matthew 08/22/2020
Product was back ordered on manufacturers website until late September and the project arrived earlier than anticipated. Great customer service, thanks E-Trailer!

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- 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...
view full answer... - Will Thule Gateway Pro Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Nissan Rogue With SpoilerSo technically Thule says that the Gateway Pro # TH88VR will fit your 2013 Nissan Rogue but we have received a lot of feedback stating that any type of trunk mount rack that uses straps will actually damage the spoiler which is why we don't show it as a fit. Your best options are to either go with a roof mount rack like the SeaSucker Mini Bomber # 298-BM2006 (which is a roof rack and bike rack all in one) or by installing a hitch # e98846 and using a hitch mount bike rack like the Hollywood...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2005 Ford Focus ZX4 with Rear SpoilerThe Thule Gateway trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR is listed as a fit for the 3-door, 5-door, wagon, and sedan models of the 2006 Ford Focus. However if your is a wagon or hatchback then the spoiler is likely to cause fit problems and could interfere even on the sedan models. Because of the fit issues I recommend a different rack, the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. This rack is built with an additional arm piece at the top that moves the straps over the spoiler so no weight...

This rack will provide an excellent fit for your vehicle as it is specifically designed to work on vehicles with spoiler. To secure it to your vehicle you can use the Thule Passive Lock System part # TH533, and then to lock your bikes to the rack you would want the 10' Cable Lock part # e98891. If you plan on carrying any...

We had the chance to install it on a similar 2015 Buick Encore as yours and we found it was a great fit. Check out the review video I attached that shows this. If you plan on carrying any womens 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...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Toyota MatrixMy very favorite trunk mounted bike rack of all time is the OutWay, part # TH45JV for the 2 bike or # TH56BV for the 3 bike version. The OutWay is extremely easy to use. Instead of needing to fumble around with 6 straps and buckles like other trunk mount racks, the OutWay uses 2 rubber-coated straps that allow the bike rack to be installed or removed in seconds. The rack uses the OneKey system to secure the rack to the vehicle and the rack and the bike to the rack. The rack isn't inexpensive,...

The Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a great option with its anti-sway cages and Hold Fast cradles. It also uses Thule's FitDial system to make it easier to install. Another option is the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634. This rack only uses 4 straps to connect to your Trax which can be easier to install. It also has anti-sway cradles and secures the bike using ZipStrip straps that make loading...

OutWay is a top of the line rack that has many great features. Its adjustable arms allow more support for bikes of different sizes to rest on. The OutWay also only uses only 2 rubber coated straps to secure the rack rather than the standard 4-6. Finally, it includes the One-key system to lock the rack to your car, and a cable lock to lock the bikes...

However, I recommend going with the Yakima HangOut 2 # Y02637. Not only does this rack have a 30-pound per bike weight capacity, it also includes anti-sway cradles to make sure that your bikes are securely fastened during transport. For theft-deterrence, I recommend using the passive security strap # Y02623 along with the etrailer...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation For a 2004 Lexus GX470 With a SpoilerI have two options for a trunk mount bike rack if your spoiler on your 2003 Lexus GX470 is metal. The first option is the Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR. This rack holds two bikes, has anti-sway arms and folds up for storage. This is your basic, sturdy, economical bike rack with the integrated cable lock, but I recommend using # TH533 to secure the rack to your locked hatch. If the spoiler on your vehicle is plastic, then going with a hitch mount is the best option because plastic cannot hold...

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...

Even some of the heavier-duty hitch-mount types cannot handle the weight of an electric bike, some of which can be as heavy as 70 to 80 lbs when the battery is installed. The best solution is to install a trailer hitch and hitch rack on the Continental that will spare the car's painted finish from the potential damage that can occur with trunk...
view full answer... - Will the Thule Gateway Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Honda Civic SI CoupeThe Thule Gateway trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR is a fit for the 2009 Honda Civic Coupe. But the spoiler will present a problem. Your best option is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 which has the reach to go up and over that spoiler so it will not be an issue. I have included a link to a video review of this bike rack for you.

However, you are going to need a roof rack for the bike rack to connect to. If you already have one great, but if you don't I can help with that. If your Equinox is equipped with the raised factory rails that run along the roof then you can use 47 inch Thule SquareBars # TH712200 and the Thule Evo Raised rail Feet # TH710401. If you do not have the factory rails, then your vehicle has what we...

The Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a good option for you that will fit. Take a look at the attached video to see what you think. 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...

It is the easiest to install, has all of the top features, and includes lock for the rack and the bike. You could also take a look at the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH88VR, and the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH910XT, will both work on your 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe. They both can carry 2 bikes and have...

This bike rack uses support pads with a flattened surface that will make better contact with your trunk over the round pads on the Passage bike rack. The Gateway bike rack uses molded rubber pads that will last longer than the soft rubber pads of the Passage bike rack.

This carrier comes with 6 nylon straps to hold the bike rack securely. The carrier has the patented FitDial system that makes sure you get the best fit possible.

The linked article will give you good background on the advantages of each type. A trunk-mount rack will often be more cost-effective than a hitch plus a hitch-mount rack. However, trunk racks place the weight burden of the rack and bikes on your car's sheet metal. Hitch racks place that burden on the vehicle's frame - its strongest part - and also allow you to use other...

Instead you'd have to go with a hitch like the Curt part # CU29FR so that you can install a hitch bike rack. I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also, it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform...

The Gateway is a good quality bike carrier and each arm moves independently allowing for a wider range of bikes to be loaded on the carrier. If your Mango Macaw is a version that as the tapered top frame tube where it is wider/taller near the handle bars are smaller the closer it gets to the seat then you will likely need an adapter bar, # 64005, for this or any trunk mount carrier in order for the cradles to...

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...

If you plan on carrying women's, children's or alternative framed bikes, you may find it easier to secure the bikes by using an adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out, # 64005. This bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem on your bike to give you a horizontal surface to secure to. I have included a few short videos for you.
