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.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Carrying Three Bikes on 2008 Nissan Versa Sedan Using Hidden Hitch Class I Receiver # 60875Due to the low tongue weight capacity of the Class I receiver, the hitch and bike rack manufacturers all agree that no more than 2 bikes should be carried on any hitch installed in a Class I receiver. The addition of a 3rd bike will place the load too far rearward of the receiver, which places additional leverage upon the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle (as you suspected). Using a hitch adapter like the # HTAD will place the load even further away from the receiver, which...

I have an older version of this carrier and it is by far the best trunk mount carrier I have ever used. The 2 retractable cables make installation quick and easy compared to other carriers that use 6 straps. The cables are also more durable and the slack is stored inside the carrier. This carrier also features the latest and greatest in cradle technology to better protect the bike frames. And...

Of the various choices, I would recommend the Thule OutWay, part # T45JV for a 2-bike model or # TH56BV for the 3-bike version. Without a doubt, the OutWay is the easiest-to-use trunk mounted rack we offer, which is why it is so highly rated by our customers. The OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the 4-6 of other carriers. This arrangement...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendations for 2010 Honda ElementTo mount a bike rack on the rear of your Element, there are two alternatives, a hitch mounted option or a trunk mounted option. The hitch mounted option would require that a hitch like the etrailer Class III receiver, part # e78KR be installed. The hitch would then serve as the attachment point for the bike rack, and could also be used with a cargo carrier or to tow a small trailer in the future, if the need should arise. Although going this route would be initially more expensive due...
view full answer... - Can the Rear Hatch be Opened on a 2012 Chevy Equinox with a Trunk Mount Bike Rack InstalledYou should not lift the tailgate with a trunk mount bike rack installed for several reasons. First, the weight of the carrier can pull the hatch down on you. Opening the hatch can affect the fit of the rack and cause it to fall off. The hinges for the hatch are not designed for the extra weight. If you need to open the rear hatch then you will need to remove the bikes and rack first. With the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV, it is very easy to do so. I own this rack and it is simple to put on/take...

view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Fit a 2013 Jeep CompassYes, I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV that you referenced is a confirmed fit for you 2013 Jeep Compass. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike) I recommend using an adapter bar, # TH982XT, to carry those bikes more level and provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.

If your Impreza does have a spoiler, then hatch mounted bike racks are not recommended due to the additional weight that will be exerted on the spoiler. If you do have factory installed spoiler then you will want to use the...

It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.

These racks have an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. These are the only 2 trunk mount racks that will fit.

The only solution we offer for carrying a bike on a 2015 Chevy Camaro SS would be a hitch mounted option. For a hitch you would want the part # 24850 for if you do not have a convertible and part # C11222 for if you do. (With this hitch you will also need to use a stabilizer strap # 18050). The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled...

OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV since this is the nicest trunk rack available and you plan on using a trunk rack for such an extended time.

I've confirmed this with Thule. If your Rogue does have the spoiler, you'd want to use the Hollywood Racks Over the Top model, part # HRF2-3. This rack is specifically designed not to transfer the weight of the rack and the bikes onto the spoiler, which would damage it. You can see a product demonstration video by clicking the provided link. If you'll be transporting...

The chance for damage to the trunk or rear hatch from all that weight (easily 150-lbs between the 4 bikes and the weight of the rack itself) would be too much for the car. We do offer 3-bike trunk racks for your 2011 Chevrolet Impala that you can see on the linked page. I like the Thule # TH56BV as it fits over most spoilers and includes locks. If you need to carry 4 bikes you can instead...

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.

This rack is also very good at fitting unique frame designs since the arms can be moved closer to together if needed or can move up and down independently.
