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!
by: BillGBW07/03/2022
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.

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.

- Easier to Install/Use Trunk Bike Rack for 2003 Ford Focus WagonWe have somewhat simpler trunk bike racks that fit your 2003 Ford Focus Wagon but the Saris Solo part # SA102 that you mentioned does not fit your vehicle so I would not recommend it for you. The Thule OutWay # TH45JV would be the simplest option since it only uses 2 straps to secure to the vehicle. Others require 4-6 straps which is a bit more involved. This also has anti-sway cages on the frame cradles and is much more adjustable so you'll have a much more stable and secure trunk solution...
view full answer... - 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...

If you're wanting a rack that's unbelievably simple to install and remove, the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV is the rack you'll want. Most bike racks attach to the vehicle using 6 straps and adjustment buckles. This arrangement is pretty clumsy and isn't very easy to use. However, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps to secure the rack. This allows the rack to be installed or removed...
view full answer... - Can the Trunk On a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Be Opened With Trunk Bike Rack InstalledIt is not recommended to open the hatch/trunk with a trunk mounted bike rack like the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL on any vehicle which includes your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. The shocks are not designed to hold the extra weight of the rack even without bikes attached and you could also run into clearance issues. If you will be removing the bike rack several times a week then the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack part # TH45JV will be a better choice because it has only 2 rubber...
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... - Are the Cables on the OutWay Bike Carrier Better than Nylon StrapsDid the strap actually break or did it just pop off due to the force of the impact of hitting the pothole? If it just came off then make sure that you have the fit-dial setting correct for the vehicle and that you are getting the straps tight enough on the bike carrier. The cables on the OutWay # TH45JV are much, much stronger and more durable than nylon straps. I own an original OutWay and it is by far the best trunk mount carrier I have owned. A hitch would be a good investment if 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... - Which Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Will Fit My 2020 BMW X5?The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH45JV does fit most SUV's with factory spoilers like your 2020 BMW X5, however, it has not been confirmed to fit your vehicle at this point in time so I recommend going with a different trunk bike rack. I highly recommend looking into the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 or 3-bike version # Y02633; the FullBack will fit your 2020 BMW X5 as long as it is not the M model. This is a very nice high-end bike rack that includes locks to keep...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy Impala LimitedThe nicest trunk mounted bike rack we offer for your 2016 Chevy Impala Limited is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. 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 cables can also be locked...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2014 Subaru XV CrosstrekThe Thule Raceway bike carrier has gone through several generations, TH9001, TH9001XT, # TH9001PRO and now the newest version, # TH45JV. Any of them will fit a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek but the older versions have all but disappeared so go with the latest and greatest # TH45JV! However, if your vehicle has a spoiler at the top of the hatch then none of them will fit. The only 2-bike trunk mount carrier I recommend if the vehicle has a spoiler is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack #...

It has arms that adjust up and down, in and out, independently of each other and the rest of the rack. What that means is that bikes with alternative frames can be loaded without the use of an adapter bar such as # 64005. The Passage # TH910XT will hold the bike but in all likelihood you will need to use the above mentioned adapter...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2019 Toyota HighlanderThe Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack part # TH45JV is one of my favorite trunk mount bike rack options and it will work well on a 2019 Toyota Highlander. It has integrated cable locks for security, road dampening technology, lightweight so it's easy to install and take off, and retractable cables for less mess. It wouldn't cause any damage to the vehicle either because of the padding. It is also made in the USA!

This is a 2-bike carrier and uses only 2 retractable cables to hold the bike securely to your Elantra. The bike carrier also comes with locks that secure the bikes to the rack and also secures the carrier to your vehicle. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between...

With the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11064, you will not have to trim the body, fascia, or wheel well for installation. However, you will need to do a little bit of drilling as specified in the instructions. I have linked the instructions for you to view. If you find this installation acceptable, you will also need a trailer hitch mount bike rack compatible with a class...

For a Yakima bike rack, the Yakima SuperJoe Pro 2, part # Y02629, would be a good option. This is one of the best trunk bike racks Yakima offers.

- Recommendation to Carry Bikes with a 2014 Nissan Altima that Does Not Require Heat Sheild RemovalSince installing a hitch would require you to void the warranty of your 2014 Nissan Altima, the best option I could recommend for you to carry bikes with your vehicle would be to use a trunk mounted bike rack. The best trunk rack we offer that is also confirmed to fit your vehicle would be the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. The OutWay includes a number of advanced features, it is by far the easiest to install and remove, and includes locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft....

If you will be carrying women's and/or children's bikes, I recommend the Thule Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, so you can carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video review of the adapter as well.

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...

For a great alternative that does fit, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634. With a slightly higher 35-pound per bike weight capacity, the FullBack also has the benefit of coming loaded with with locks that protect both your bikes and the rack itself from theft.
