This 2-bike trunk rack adjusts to fit the shape of your sedan, hatchback, or van. It has adjustable arms that fold down for parking in tight spaces, and you can quickly remove it and store it in your trunk or garage.
Features:
- Trunk-mounted rack lets you carry up to 2 bicycles on the back of your vehicle
- Arched body fits over many types of spoilers
- HideAway anti-sway cradles with ratcheting straps hold bikes at 3 points
- Prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-car contact

- Distance between bikes: 7"
- 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: 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.
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: 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.

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: 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!

- 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...

The lower clips will fit in the bottom edge of the trunk/hatch. The top clips will fit in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk/hatch. The lower arm of the rack will rest in the area between the license plate well and the upper tier of the bumper. I have included a link to a video review of this series of bike racks for you to view.

For whatever reason there is not a hitch available for this particular vehicle and when checking with some of our manufacturers there's a gap between 2004 and 2007 where no hitches are available, so there's not going to be a solution available for towing. However, there are a number of trunk mounted bike racks like the Thule Gateway Pro 2 # TH88VR, which would...

The Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a very nice rack and we have a video review of this rack for you to see. My personal favorite trunk mount bike rack would be the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV, which is much easier to install and remove because it uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks. It is much easier to work with than the web straps, like those on...

I have included a link to them for you. Out of all the options, the one I recommend the most is the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. I actually own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is the best trunk mount bike rack I have used. What makes it so great, besides the many features like locks, ease of use, and its modern style, are the number of attachments. This rack uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier for a 2006 Subaru Legacy Sedan with Rear SpoilerLike you said the spoiler on your 2006 Subaru Legacy sedan prohibits the use of a trunk mount bike carrier. What I recommend is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted carrier. You can use Draw-Tite hitch # 36334. It is designed to fit the sedan and wagon models of the Legacy. It also fits certain Outback models as shown in the video I have linked. Then for an inexpensive bike carrier you could use the Curt # C18085. I have linked video reviews of this carrier for you.

You will also need to be sure not to exceed the weight capacity of this rack, 70 lbs. If you have a 3-door wagon you will want the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers # HRF2 as this is the only rack confirmed to fit your vehicle.

If your Audi TT is a Quattro (all-wheel drive) you can use a hitch like the Curt Class I Hitch, part # 11765, and a bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, part # S63360. The Curt hitch will only fit the Quattro version, it will not fit the front wheel drive version of the Audi TT. I am including links to the installation instrutcions...

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and...
view full answer... - How To Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT SportThe reason that they do not offer a trailer hitch for the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport has to do with the size and location of the muffler. I spoke with my contact at Curt and said it is just not possible to develop a trailer hitch to fit with the Sport muffler. I can only imagine that the same will hold true for Draw-Tite as well. Therefore, the only way that you will be able to install a trailer hitch on the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport is to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part...

These carriers have an additional upper arm piece to move the top straps up and over the rear spoiler so nothing is touching it and no weight is put on it.

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.

If you needed to tow a trailer you would have to look at other tow vehicles but if you were wanting a trailer hitch for a bike rack, then we do still have an option for you. You could go with the Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR so long as the bike(s) does not weigh over 35 lbs. The Thule Gateway is a very nice bike rack...

The part # 64005 will attach at the seat post and at the steering stem and will provide an attachment point for a hanging bike rack. The Gateway Pro # TH88VR has been confirmed to fit your 2008 Ford Taurus so it would work great. I have attached a video for you to see all of its features.

If your 2012 Subaru Impreza hatchback falls into this category, the hitch will fit. This is a Class I trailer hitch which means that only a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch will fit. Adding an adapter will decrease the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent, so I do not recommend using an adapter with this hitch. If your Impreza cannot accept the trailer hitch, you may be able to use...

This is because the majority of the weight of the rack and bikes will be carried by the foot of the carrier which sits atop the vehicle bumper, so the spoiler area will bear very little weight.
