- HideAway anti-sway cradles with ratcheting straps hold bikes at 3 points

- Distance between bikes: 7"
- Carrier weight: 13.5 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 3 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.

Still working great on my Hyundai Elantra sedan! It's used mostly to carry one bike, but have used it with three bikes with no problems. Easy to put on the car, and easy to store it in the car when not in use.
by: Pam06/17/2022
I did my research to make sure this 3 bike rack would fit my car. Unfortunately when it’s properly attached to my Honda Accord, the 3rd bikes petals rub up against my license plate and trunk therefore scratching my paint. Contacted etrailer and sent them pics. Very unhappy that they would suggest that I only use 2 bikes so it doesn’t damage my car. Defeats spending more $ on a 3 bike rack

Nissan Pathfinder
I purchased this bike rack for my Nissan Pathfinder after not being able to find a rack for months due to COVID. When I saw it I jumped at the chance to get it because of the brand name and just the opportunity to use it. This rack is sturdy and reliable. I have had it for about a year and it has not let me down. Also, the staff at etrailer was really helpful to me since I'd never purchased a bike rack before, I was confident I was doing the right thing by going with them for the purchase.
by: Michael04/08/2022
It is a good bike carrier but if I had it to do again I would bite the bullet and buy a trailer hitch for my Jetta and go with a hitch mount. I believe it is more secure.
by: David 12/10/2020
The product is very well made and will meet the needs of our family. The product is a gift to our daughter and her husband and will they will welcome the use of it instead of piling the bikes in the cargo area.

They have only used it a couple of times, but were more than satisfied with the product. Glad we found the site.

etrailer customer service is the BEST. I referred the site to two other friends.
The bike rack is a great product. Following the directions it was easy to strap on. The bikes are a lot sturdier than a cheaper brand I was using before.
My only issue is that the right strap keeps slipping off. I have tightened it but it still falls off. I noticed the right bottom clip is silver and not black like the other 5.

The Thule Gateway Pro 3 does fit our Kia Sedona 2010 as promised. Three adult mountain bikes fit on the rack, but tightly, with no extra space between.
by: Elliott 08/14/2020
Outstanding bike rack that is sturdy and easy to mount and use. We go to the beach and go riding every weekend now and save a ton of money by bringing our own bikes. I like the fact that the rack has a locking feature.

Excellent product...made in the USA. etrailer.com was great to deal with. The communication was excellent and shipping was prompt once they received the rack from the company. I would buy it again from etrailer.com.
by: Nicholas07/10/2020
Had some trouble with the side hooks/straps coming loose. Eventually, I took the excess strap that goes through the tightening mechanism and tied them together to keep the straps tight. That seemed to work. I held 2 adult bikes and a youth bike well though. Easy to put up and take down.
by: Sigrid08/02/2021
2010 Toyota Prius
We are able to transport 3 adult bikes successfully with this. It took us a while to get everything just right the first time and to make sure the bikes don't touch, but it seems to work well for our purpose. Unfortunately, one of the straps was missing in the box. We only received 8 straps instead of the required 9 straps for tying down the bikes, and I called about that right away. Hope we will get the replacement strap shipped to us soon so we don't have to resort to using a zip tie.

Got this present for a very special good boy last year and let me tell you he loves it! Easy to install, held the bikes easily. Two thumbs up! My only complaint was that it was hard to get through that chimney.

wish thernwere an easy way to lift the arms verically so pedestrians wouldnt put their eye out.
maybe you should include small bright flags to attach the ends of the arms!

It's great. And the #8 setting on the angle just happens to work on our other car also so switching between cars is easy.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Recommended Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2019 Honda FitThere are a number of Thule trunk mount bike racks that fit on your 2019 Honda Fit as long as it doesn't have the factory spoiler. Of them I recommend the Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR for the 2-bike model or part # TH78VR for the 3-bike. It's a high quality rack with some of Thule's great features like the FitDial and Hold Fast cradles without really bringing up the price tag. I've linked the complete list of Thule racks for your Fit as well; however, like I said, they won't fit if you...

I confirmed with Thule that the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH65JV is not confirmed to fit your 2016 BMW 5 Series GT. However, for a hitch rack that fits your 2016 BMW 5 Series GT, I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SH22G. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 is a top-of-the-line hitch rack that will give you a nice clean look with your BMW. In addition, the Sherpa comes with included locks to deter theft. If you need a hitch...
view full answer... - What is the Distance Between the Arms of the Thule Gateway Bike CarrierI went out and pulled a Thule Gateway 3 Bike Carrier # TH78VR from our warehouse and measured the distance between the arms and found that from outside to outside the arms measure 9-3/4 inches. And the distance between the arms is 7 inches. Check out the picture I attached to see where these measurement were taken. For carrying alternative womens framed bikes you may be interested in a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out.

- Three Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fits for 2012 VW BeetleAccording to Thule, the 3 bike version of the OutWay, part # TH56BV isn't a recommended fit for your 2012 VW Beetle because the OutWay is slightly heavier than the rest of Thule's Trunk mount bike racks. The fear is that the weight of a third bike added to the rack could potentially damage the vehicle. For a three bike Thule rack that is a confirmed fit, I'd recommend the Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH78VR. The rack includes an integrated cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack. If...

Take a look a look at the: -Replacement Protective Foam Pads for Hollywood Racks Trunk Mounted Bike Racks # HR52. This foam pad is technically a replacement for the Hollywood Racks truck mounted bike racks, however these will fit over any 1" diameter bars. So if that's what you have then this'll work great for you. Attached is...

- What Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Can I Use with a 22 Inch Clearance for a Trailer Jack Handle? I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the length of the Thule Gateway Pro 3 from the lower support to the end of the bike rack is about 23-1/2 inches. This will most likely interfere with the RV trailer handle (especially factoring in overhang for rear bike's pedals). In addition, there are no 3-bike trunk racks that will be less than the 22 inches you need for the clearance of the trailer handle for the jack. With that being said, I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the Thule...

This is a really nice and easy to use carrier; it comes with a locking cable to secure the bikes. I also recommend adding Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 which will keep the carrier secured to your locked trunk. This carrier uses foam pads on the contact points so that your car's paint does not get scratched. Keep in mind, if you plan to haul any oddly-shaped...

view full answer... - Can 2017 Subaru Outback With Class 1 Hitch Carry 3 BikesWhile there are ways to carry 3 bikes on your 2017 Subaru Outback, a class 1 trailer hitch is limited to carrying just two bikes due to the amount of weight and torque put on the hitch for a rack that extends out that far. The easiest - and least costly - way to do this is by forgoing your hitch to carry your bikes and going with a trunk-mounted 3-bike rack, the Thule Gateway Pro 3-Bike Rack # TH78VR or Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633. This will give you a safe, secure, and simple...

If your Rogue has a trailer hitch installed you have a wide range of options for hitch-mount carriers of both the hanging and platform variety.

Thule makes a great bike rack, and they stand by their products by offering a limited lifetime warranty. In a 'good, better, best' scenario, the Passage would be the good choice. It's a bare bones option, but it'll get the job done for you. Thule makes a great...

I highly recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike rack for 3 bikes # TH56BV. This is a solid rack for the 2009 Prius as well as being able to fit most spoiler configurations for this vehicle. It attaches easily with 2 rubber-coated straps, where other trunk racks use as many as 6! It is by far the easiest to install. It also comes with locks to deter theft. Another...

You will need to install an EcoHitch Trailer Hitch # 306-X7286. I attached a link to installation instructions for you to check out for this product.

It has more versatility and an easier to use design compared to the Passage, which is the next step down, # TH911XT. But there is no comparison between the Gateway and the OutWay. The OutWay # TH56BV is superior in every way and is really in a class by itself. It is high quality and has road dampening technology to better protect the bikes.

As a safety tip, I recommend putting the largest/heaviest bike closest to the vehicle. One thing to keep in mind is that mountain bikes can often have large frames and mounting three of them on one bike rack can be troublesome. I would recommend looking at the Thule Gateway 3 Bike Rack, # TH78VR....

I reached out to Thule who advised that using a bike adapter bar with the bikes would help with the spacing. I have linked the bike adapter bars that we have below. You will also want to make sure that you are using the anti sway cages and the long strap that comes with the bike rack. They will help hold the bikes in place.
