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!

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.

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.

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- 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... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 Honda OdysseyThe safest way to carry bikes is by using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike carrier. Trunk mount carriers only go up to 3 bikes, any more than that and it would put way too much stress on the attachment points on the vehicle. And the roof is probably not wide enough for all 4 bikes, let alone able to support the weight of 4 bikes. So the options are a combination of a trunk mount and roof mount set up or a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike carrier. I recommend the simplicity of a...
view full answer... - Do I Need To Use The Spoiler Support Straps For The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike RackWe do recommend always using the spoiler support strap for additional stability and safety. Loosening the strap can be done fairly quickly, even quicker once you get the hang of it. From the looks of the spoiler on the back of a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV you will definitely want to use the spoiler support strap kit that comes with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH56BV.
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for 2013 Audi S4 SedanThe trunk-mount bike racks recommended for your 2013 Audi S4 Sedan can be seen on the linked page. These include both 2- and 3-bike carriers in both the hanging and platform styles. In general it is wise to use as lightweight a rack as possible in order to minimize the weight load on your trunk, but it is also true that the racks with the best construction and the most included features (like built-in locks) tend to weigh more. Better racks also tend to be easier to mount on the car. A...
view full answer... - What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2021 Kia Niro EV?I have a great bike rack solution for you. 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...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan and a Bike RackFor your 2009 Honda Accord sedan I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11496. With the other hitch options there is an additional part you would need to be able to use a bike rack but not with this hitch. This and all of the hitches for your Accord are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. Class I trailer hitches are rated for a maximum of 2 bikes because it cannot handle additional weight that is further away from the receiver. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks for you....
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Nissan AltimaFirst, all of the trailer hitches for the 2006 Nissan Altima are Class I trailer hitches that can carry a maximum of 2 bikes. To carry 3 bikes, I recommend going with a trunk mount bike rack. The best rack and the easiest rack to install is the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV. It uses retractable cables that make installation and removal fast and simple. For the women's bikes, in order to carry them more level, you will need to use bike adapter bars on them, # TH982XT. I have included a link to...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Toyota PriusThe Thule OutWay, # TH56BV will fit your 2004 Toyota Prius! It holds 3 bikes and has a 99 pound total capacity. It can lock the bikes to the rack and the rack can be locked to the vehicle. It uses only 2 retractable cables to attach to the vehicle so it installs much quicker and easier than any other trunk mount carrier I have used.
view full answer... - Is the Thule OutWay 2Bike or 3Bike the Better Choice for Mounting My Mountain and Hybrid BikesI recommend the Thule OutWay -3 bike rack # TH56BV to easily mount your bikes on your 2013 Toyota Corolla. This rack allows you to carry up to 99 lbs. so you will not have to worry about carrying too close to the weight capacity. Also, mounting two bikes is easier on a bike rack which carries 3 bikes over a bike rack only designed for two. When mounting your bikes, always have the heavier bike mounted closer to the vehicle. In your case, the hybrid bike most likely weighs more and should...
view full answer... - Available 3-Bike Rack Options for 2010 Toyota HighlanderDue to the fact that the support hooks would need to attach directly to the glass in the rear tailgate, none of our bike rack manufacturers recommend using a trunk mount rack on your vehicle. The glass lacks the strength to support the weight of the bikes and the carrier, and could shatter unexpectedly. This leaves a roof mount or a hitch mount option. If you have a bare roof, Rhino Rack the Vortex Aero Roof Rack that could be constructed using # RRVA137S-2 54 inch crossbars, the # RRRLKVA...
view full answer... - 3 Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Mazda 5For a 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack for your 2008 Mazda 5 I would recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV for several reasons. But most importantly because you have small kid framed bikes and the arms of the rack are adjustable in width so they can accommodate kids bikes. 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 the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation...

According to customer feedback, the Thule adapter bar works much better than other adapter bars for mountain bikes with the Raceway bike rack. The OutWay 2 has a maximum weight capacity of 66 pounds so you may want to weigh your bikes to determine if they will prove...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a Kia SorentoI checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV, is recommended for use on most year models of the Kia Sorento, see instructions link. If you could send me the exact year of your vehicle I would be glad to check and let you know if your vehicle is included in the fit list. The OutWay rack is the one I would purchase if purchasing a trunk mounted rack. This rack is very easy to install and remove because it uses rubber coated cables and a fit dial system that makes installation a breeze.
view full answer... - Trunk and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for a 2012 Kia OptimaThe Thule OutWay bike racks, # TH45JV, # TH56BV, and # TH65JV are excellent bike racks with many great features, but they are a little pricey. Another bike rack that you may be interested in from Thule is the Archway 3 Bike Carrier, # TH9010XT. This bike rack uses 4 rubber pads that rest on your vehicle to prevent scratching or damage to your vehicle. This bike rack will fit on your 2012 Kia Optima and gives extra room underneath to accommodate for a factory spoiler. You may also want...

If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product as well.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Honda Pilot that Will Also be Towing a TrailerThere are trunk mount bike racks that will fit the 2012 Honda Pilot, see link, but the Thule racks will not fit. There are ways to tow a trailer and use a hitch mount rack together, though. You can use dual-purpose ball mount # D210. The overall tongue weight of everything loaded on this ball mount is 750 pounds. The receiver portion has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. So the weight of the bikes, bike rack, and the trailers tongue weight cannot exceed 750 pounds. Using this method...

If you will be carrying women's or children's bikes, I recommend using the Thule Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry them level. I have included a link to a video demonstrating how the adapter works.

For that we have the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV which is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Subaru Impreza 5 door without a spoiler. This is the nicest trunk rack around so it would be a great option. 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...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Racks Fit a 2012 Kia Soul with a SpoilerI did some research on the 2012 Kia Soul and the rear spoiler and it looks like there is space below the spoiler. I did a test fit on a Soul with this spoiler and the hooks on the end of the cables are too large to fit below the spoiler. This is a problem you will run into with any trunk mount bike rack. The solution with carrying bikes if you have a spoiler is to go with a trailer hitch, like # 24839, and a hitch mount bike rack. For a compatible bike rack I recommend the Swagman Titan,...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Altima SedanFor your 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Trailer Hitch # 24796. This is a great, budget-friendly hitch that has a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver and a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. All of the trailer hitches we carry for the 2013 Altima sedan require drilling and the temporary removal of the muffler during installation. The vehicle frame doesn't have pre-drilled holes where the hitch can be installed. The Draw-Tite # 24796 also requires trunk access...

This is an excellent 3 bike trunk rack that is confirmed to fit both of your vehicles. 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 racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The...

My contact at Thule tells me that their testing has shown that the spoiler that overhangs the rear hatch is strong enough to use a trunk mounted rack without being damaged. Of the various Thule racks available, I really like the OutWay, part # TH45JV for a 2-bike model or # TH56BV for a 3-bike model. Rather than the 4-6 buckles and straps used by other racks, the Raceway...

If this is proving to be difficult you could slightly open the hatch so that it comes away from the body of your 2013 Ford Escape to allow you to attach the straps. A coworker of mine has this same rack and has to do this every time he installs the rack on his vehicle. If you decide to try this you need to be extra careful not...

These are available in both 2- and 3-bike capacity, but even if you only have two bikes to transport a 3-bike rack can be preferred for the extra space you'll have. This is something to keep in mind especially if you have wide bikes like beach cruisers. A quality feature-packed rack I like is the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV. It comes with all the integrated locking features to keep your bikes...
