Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.

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.



by:

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!



by:

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.

  • Trunk mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Cadillac SRX
    There are trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for the 2013 Cadillac SRX, see link. However, there is one thing that you will need to look at first. If the vehicle has the plastic trim piece (spoiler) at the top that would interfere with the hooks or cables then you cannot use a trunk mount bike rack. That spoiler is not rated to support the weight of a rack. If you determine you can use a trunk mount bike rack then I recommend going with the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV. I actually own this...

  • 2022 Jeep Cherokee Fitment with Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack
    Yes, the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV will fit your 2022 Jeep Cherokee L Limited. This is marketed as being able to open up your hatch without removing the rack itself which is true, but you do want to make sure you remove the bikes prior to opening the hatch. If any of your bikes has a kid's frame or lacks a horizontal top tube, like what you see with a typical men's bike, then be sure to pick up an adapter bar # TH982XT for it as well.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe
    I have a great solution for you, but the Hollywood Racks Trunk Rack part # HRF2-3 that you referenced has not been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe so I cannot recommend it for you. 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. 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...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Acura TL
    I have a solution for you, but I checked with Yakima and the Quickback part # Y02622 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your 2003 Acura TL so I cannot safely recommend it for you. Instead I would recommend the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack part # TH56BV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 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...

  • Options for Carrying 3 Bikes on 2004 Mazda 6 Wagon with Class I Trailer Hitch
    I have a solution for you to carry 3 bikes on your 2004 Mazda 6, but it is true that Class I, 1-1/4 inch receiver trailer hitches, like the # C11308 you referenced, are limited to carrying only 2 bikes. These trailer hitches are limited to carrying 2 bikes due to the low tongue weight capacities of both the trailer hitch and the vehicle on which the hitch is installed. As more bikes are installed on a hitch mount rack, the weight of the bikes is moved further away from the hitch, increasing...

  • Recommended Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2008 Honda Odyssey
    The ThulOutWay # TH56BV you referenced won't fit your 2008 Honda Odyssey. If you prefer a trunk mount bike rack, we currently offer 2 bike racks. The Hollywood # HRF2 is a 2 bike carrier and will fold down when not in use. The Hollywood 3 bike carrier is part # HRF2-3. If you don't have a trailer hitch already, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class-III hitch receiver # 75270. It's a custom fit trailer hitch that allows you to carry a cargo carrier, bike rack or tow a trailer. If you plan on...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2005 Mini Cooper
    Since you have a spoiler that is going to prevent the installation of a trunk mount bike rack. What you can do, as long as your Mini Cooper is not an S model, is install a trailer hitch # C11126. Then you could use a hitch mount bike rack. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch. You can then install a bike rack like Lets Go Aero NEO2 2-Bike Rack # B01748. The long straight shank on this rack will help with reaching the recessed receiver of the trailer hitch...

    I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2006 Chevy Impala with a spoiler. The rack will actually go over the spoiler as long as it is a factory spoiler. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1995 Ford Mustang GT with Dual Exhaust
    The Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11041, is only designed to fit all V6 models of the Ford Mustang, so it will not fit your 1995 GT with dual exhaust because it has a V8 engine. If you would like to carry bikes on your GT, we have the Thule OutWay Trunk bike rack for 2 bikes # TH45JV or the # TH56BV for 3 bikes. Also if your Mustang is not a convertible, you could use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B and then add a bike rack our cargo...

  • Is There a 2, Class III Trailer Hitch Available for a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    We currently do not have a trailer hitch for a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon. If you are wanting a hitch to carry bikes, we have trunk-mounted bike racks available like the Thule OutWay for 2 bikes # TH45JV or for 3-bikes # TH56BV. I have attached an OutWay video for you to see how it works.

    The trailer hitch you referenced, Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24857 is a correct fit for the 328i Sedan version but not your 2-door coupe. Currently we do not have any hitches for your vehicle. Hitches will have their rated capacity only when installed as intended by the manufacturer on the specific vehicle for which they were designed. We cannot recommend any attempt to alter the hitch or adapt it to fit on a different vehicle than intended. However, we can help you with a trunk-mount bike...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit 2015 Nissan Rogue
    The Thule OutWay # TH56BV will fit your Rogue as long as the vehicle isn't equipped with the spoiler at the top of the liftgate. 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...

  • Recommended 2 and 3 Bike Rack for 2012 Nissan Murano
    We do have trunk mount bike racks that are a confirmed fit your 2012 Nissan Murano. I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Bike Carrier, which is specially designed for vehicles with hatchbacks with spoilers like your Murano. For the 2-bike carrier you will want part # HRF2. For a 3-bike rack you will want part # HRF2-3. This Over-the-Top bike rack lets you carry up to 3 bikes on the back of your vehicle without the fear of the rack's mounting straps or frame damaging...

    Your 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring model is well suited for a trunk mounted bike rack. We have several that are a fit for your vehicle, see the provided link. Of the various racks available that fit your vehicle, without a doubt the easiest to use is the Thule OutWay. The OutWay is available in a 2 bike (# TH45JV) or 3 bike (# TH56BV) capacity. Instead of the difficult to use buckle and strap arrangement that most trunk mounted racks use to attach to the vehicle, the Gateway uses only 2...

  • Bike Rack Recommendations for 2010 Honda Element
    To 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...

    I have provided a link for your that shows all the rear trunk mounted bike racks that are confirmed as a fit for your 2003 Toyota Prius. Of the options available for your 2003 Toyota Prius, I recommend the Yakima HangOut 2 # Y02637 bike rack. It is designed to carry 2 bikes and is rated for up to 60 pounds total. Please note that with this bike rack installed, your rear wiper will not be useable, and it is not recommended to open the rear hatch with any accessories mounted. If you do...

The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack, part # TH56BV, that you have referenced will not work on your Murano. Thule does not recommend a 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack for your vehicle. Yakima does list the Yakima HangOut 3 Trunk Bike Rack, part # Y02638, as a fit for your vehicle but it does require the use of the glass hatch hooks in place of the upper...

  • Will Thule OutWay TH45JV Bike Rack Fit on 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
    Yes indeed! The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV is a confirmed fits for your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon. Even if you only need to transport 2 bikes you might consider the 3-bike rack # TH56BV since it will give you more room between your bikes and make loading a bit easier. It will also allow you to grow to 3 bikes in the future if needed.

  • Options for Carrying 4 Bikes on 2010 Chrysler Town & Country
    If you were wanting to carry four bikes on your Town and Country, you'd need to install a trailer hitch like part # 75579. You could then install an inexpensive 4 bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63380. The bike rack manufacturers have determined that attempting to carry more than three bikes on a bike rack strapped to the trunk or hatch lid would damage the vehicle, as the rack and the bikes would weigh too much. If you could carry the remaining bike in the rear of your...

  • Do the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Racks Fit a 2012 Volvo XC-60
    I spoke with my contact at Thule about the fit of the OutWay bike racks, # TH45JV or the # TH56BV on a 2012 Volvo XC-60. She stated that if that lip or plastic spoiler piece is factory standard equipment on all models (which I believe it is because I have not seen one without it) then it would have been factored into the fit guide. If it is aftermarket, it could potentially still work if the straps can bypass the spoiler meaning if there is a gap between the spoiler and body of the vehicle...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier Fit on a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and a 2007 Mazda 5
    I checked with my contact at Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH56BV, will fit on both the 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and the 2007 Mazda 5. 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 to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2005 Toyota Highlander and a Mountain Bike, Womans Bike, and Kids Bike
    The mountain bike and the woman's bike will not be an issue but the kids bike could be a problem because the frame would be very small. You would have to use an adapter bar like # TH982XT for the woman's bike and the only way to possibly fit the kids bike would be to use another adapter. Because the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post is so short on a kids bike, the adapter probably will not fit. You would have to move the adapter to an alternate location like around...
