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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
by: Ellen 09/22/2021
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
- Best Trunk Mount 3-Bike Rack for a 2015 Kia SorentoI recommend the Thule Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR for your 2015 Kia Sorento as it is easy to use (and install the bikes on), it looks really clean, and it comes with a cable lock for the 3rd bike so that all of your bikes are linked to the bike rack. To lock the bike rack to your vehicle you can use the Passive Security Strap # TH533. Since the most you can carry with a trunk mount rack is 3 bikes you'll either need to fit the 4th bike in your rear hatch area, use a roof mount rack like the...

If your Equinox has that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the rear hatch though I recommend a different rack. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3 has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is put on it. I have linked a video showing how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that...
view full answer... - Can Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Carrier Transport Giant Talon Trail BikeThe Giant Talon 27.5.1 trail bike has a slanted top frame tube which means that transporting it on a hanging style bike carrier like the Thule Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR will be made simpler and safer by use of an adapter bar like Thule's # TH982XT. The adapter bar connects between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier's arms. This will help keep the bike level to maintain safe ground clearance at the wheels. Please refer to the linked video.

This rack has 6 Nylon straps with hooks and cam buckles anchor the rack to your vehicle. It also has foam foot pads help protect your vehicle from scratches and scuffs.

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...

The best of the bunch is the Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV, which includes locks for the rack itself and for your 3 bikes, and which mounts using 4 vinyl-coated steel cables (instead of a half-dozen straps). A lower cost option is the Thule Gateway XT # TH78VR which is a more basic rack that does not include locks. The trouble with trunk-mount racks is that...
view full answer... - Benefits of a Hitch-Mount Bike Carrier Over a Trunk-Mount Carrier for 2017 Subaru ForesterOn a new vehicle like your 2017 Forester I do suggest installing a hitch to enable use of a hitch-type bike rack rather than a trunk-mount rack. The benefits are many: no pressure on vehicle features such as a rear spoiler, no rack contact with your painted finish, you do not lose use of a rear wiper if the car has one, you can carry far more bike weight on a hitch type rack than on a trunk mount, you retain access to your rear hatch (it cannot be opened with a trunk-mount rack in place)...
view full answer... - Will the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2003 Subaru Outback WagonThe Thule Gateway Pro 3, # TH78VR, is a fit for your 2003 Subaru Outback Wagon. For ease of use and installation, I recommend the Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV. This back rack is easy to install and remove because it uses retractable cables instead of straps. With any trunk mount rack I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT, so you can carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.

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. The rack secures to the vehicle using only...

This unique 2-bike carrier is designed expressly to be compatible with roof-line spoilers by its use of upper arms that extend above and over the spoiler. Please refer to the linked photo and video that illustrate this carrier and its installation. If you need to transport more than...

- Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Chrysler Town and CountryFor a bare bones entry level trunk mounted bike rack, the Thule Passage would be a good choice, part # TH910XT for the 2 bike or # TH911XT for the 3 bike model. Nothing fancy there, but you'll get a rugged bike rack that features sturdy anti-sway cradles that will securely hold your bikes and will serve you well for years. A step up from there would be the Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR for the 2 bike and part # TH78VR for the 3 bike model. The Gateway provides the anti-sway cradles...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Toyota MatrixMy very favorite trunk mounted bike rack of all time is the OutWay, part # TH45JV for the 2 bike or # TH56BV for the 3 bike version. The OutWay is extremely easy to use. Instead of needing to fumble around with 6 straps and buckles like other trunk mount racks, the OutWay uses 2 rubber-coated straps that allow the bike rack to be installed or removed in seconds. The rack uses the OneKey system to secure the rack to the vehicle and the rack and the bike to the rack. The rack isn't inexpensive,...

We have a video review of the Gateway bike rack for you to check out also, see link. You will need to make sure that the OEM spoiler on your Civic is mounted flush to the trunk for any trunk mounted bike rack to work. If the spoiler is raised up off of the trunk, has a gap between the trunk and the spoiler, or has an aftermarket spoiler then no trunk mounted bike rack is recommended...

First, I can suggest the Thule # TH78VR rack. This unit uses the patented Thule FitDial system that simplifies secure mounting of your rack to your Passat with six high-strength nylon straps. Cushioned Anti-Sway Cradles secure your bikes and protect both them and your vehicle while in transit. This rack can carry up to 105 pounds. Please note that the rear wiper...

You will have to open the hatch to get the hooks in place where the roof and hatch door meet and also at the bottom of the door. Once the hooks are in place you should be able to tighten them to secure the rack to your vehicle. You should not have to use any force to get this rack to fit.

It however as with any trunk mount bike rack on any vehicle will need to be removed in order to open the hatch. The problem is that the hatch is not rated for the extra weight of the rack and it could come into contact with the vehicle. If you want to be able to open the hatch with a bike rack attached you'd have to go with a trailer hitch mounted bike rack. Let me know if this is something...
view full answer... - Bike Rack for 2014 Toyota Corolla S With Spoiler to Transport Recumbent and Standard BicyclesTrunk-mount bike racks like Thule's Gateway XT 3-Bike Rack # TH78VR can often be a good solution for transporting standard bikes but a recumbent bike or trike, due to its larger size and considerably greater weight, makes trunk-mount racks less desirable. In addition, your application on a vehicle with a spoiler makes fitting a trunk-mount rack more challenging. Your best option will be to install a trailer hitch receiver and to use a hitch-mount bike rack. This will avoid the issues...

All of the racks you mentioned would contact the the rear window, but due to the fact that the vast majority of the weight would be borne by the bottom portion of the rack, this will not prove a problem. The straps would indeed be long enough to reach the top of the hatch. Although all the racks you mentioned would work, I sincerely believe you would like the OutWay, part # TH56BV best. Instead of the awkward straps...

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.
