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



by:

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:

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!

2021 BMW X3

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 Wagon
    We 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...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO with Spoiler
    I looked at some pictures of the rear spoiler on the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO and it does not appear that it would cause any issues. The OutWay # TH45JV should fit over it just fine. You might also take a look at the ultimate in spoiler hopping bike rack technology, and my first choice for you, the Over-The Top, # HRF2, which is specifically designed to circumvent a spoiler. It has an extra arm structure that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler. The 29 inch bike will not be a problem...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Honda Civic Sedan
    The Thule OutWay trunk mount bike racks, # TH45JV for 2 bikes and # TH56BV for 3 bikes are the pinnacle of trunk mount bike racks. I own the 3-bike version and it is by far the best trunk mount bike rack I have used. It is also the easiest to install/remove, and has the best features. Given the length of the trip you are taking I would go with either one of the OutWay racks because they are very secure and you can lock the cables in place on one side as well as the bike in the last position....

  • Fit of Thule OutWay TH45JV on 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan
    The Thule OutWay you mentioned, part # TH45JV will indeed fit on the liftgate of your 2013 Grand Caravan. Thule strongly recommends that the rack be removed before the liftgate is opened. The gas struts on the liftgate are designed to suspend a specific amount of weight, there is no telling if the extra weight of the carrier could cause the liftgate to unexpectedly close. Additionally, the shock caused when the liftgate slams shut could damage the vehicle or the rack. Since the rack...

  • What is the Best Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2016 Subaru Outback
    Hands down the best trunk mount bike carrier for any vehicle, including your 2016 Subaru Outback, is going to be the OutWay # TH45JV for 2 bikes or # TH56BV for 3 bikes. What sets these carriers apart is the built in cable lock, the ability to lock the carrier to the vehicle, and the 2 rubber coated straps to make installation super easy. I own an older version of this carrier and it is by far the best trunk mount carrier I have used. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have...

  • Does Thule OutWay Fit 2015 Honda Civic Sedan
    Yes, the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV that you referenced is a fit for all versions of the 2015 Honda Civic including your sedan with a low rise spoiler. I attached demo video that shows this rack installed on a similar Civic as yours with a low profile as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2011 Ford Fiesta Hatchback
    Since you are concerned about leaving a rack in place on the vehicle when it is not being used, I highly recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. The rubber coated straps of the OutWay allow the rack to be installed or removed in a matter of seconds. The rack is lockable, to secure it to the vehicle and it also locks the bikes to the rack to help to deter theft. The Yakima HangOut # Y02638 is also a quality rack. The rack uses 6 adjustable straps to attach to the vehicle, rather than...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack to fit a 2015 Ford Focus ST Hatchback
    Yes, the Thule Raceway part # TH45JV has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Ford Focus ST 5 door hatchback so it would be a great option. This is the nicest trunk rack on the market so it would be a great choice. 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 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables...

  • Locking Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2007 Toyota Avalon and 1997 Mercury Mountaineer
    There are 2 different 2-bike trunk mount carriers that have locks and that will fit your 2007 Toyota Avalon and 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. You can use either the Thule Passage, # TH910XT, or the OutWay, # TH45JV. The OutWay is the top of the line and the best trunk mount carrier I have ever used. The Passage is also a great carrier and is more economical. You can check out videos for both. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a Volkswagen New Beetle
    As long as your Volkswagen is a New Beetle, the Thule 2 bike trunk mount racks will work great for you. The Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a very nice rack and we have a video review of this rack for you to see. My personal favorite trunk mount bike rack would be the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV, which is much easier to install and remove because it uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks. It is much easier to work with than the web straps, like those on...

  • Bike Adapter Bar for an Electra Townie 7D Mens Bike and Thule OutWayTrunk Mount Bike Rack
    The bike adapater bars, like # TH982XT, are also a fit for the trunk mount bike racks like the OutWay # TH56JV. All of the adapter bars work in the same manner, the bar telescopes to a certain length and clamp under the seat and under the handle bars so you can carry the bike more level. The # TH982XT would be a good choice. Looking at some pictures of the bike you would most likely have to raise the seat as high as you could to get an adapter bar to fit and be affective. Otherwise, you...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2006 BMW 325xi Sport Wagon
    Thule does list the OutWay # TH45JV, as a fit for the wagon models of the 2006 BMW 3 series. I have included a link to all of the racks that are listed as a fit. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video review for you showing how it works.

The easiest to install and remove is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. This rack uses2 rubber coated straps rather than straps to attach to the vehicle which makes installation fast and easy.

  • Will the Thule OutWay # TH45JV Fit on 2011 Chevy Equinox
    According to Thule, the 2 bike OutWay model, part # TH45JV is indeed a fit for your Equinox. Because the rack sits right on the rear hatch, you'll want to make sure to avoid using the rear windshield wiper while the rack is mounted. In my opinion, the OutWay is hands down the easiest trunk mounted bike rack we offer. Before installing a trunk mounted rack, make absolutely sure that all parts of the rack and the vehicle that will contact each other are perfectly clean and free of grit,...

  • Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack Fit on a 2012 Mazda 3i Touring 4dr With Factory Spoiler
    I spoke with my contact at Thule and the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack will fit over the factory spoiler on your 2012 Mazda 3 i touring 4dr sedan. The best way to prevent damage to your vehicle with a trunk mounted bike rack is to not exceed the weight capacity of the bike rack and not to over tighten the straps that secure to your trunk. It is also important to clean the surfaces of the trunk, bumper and rubber pads of the bike rack to protect your paint. If your primary concern is damage...

  • Buying a Bike Rack for a 2009 Subaru Legacy Wagon or a 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon
    If your 2009 Subaru is a Legacy Wagon, then the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, will work on your vehicle according to Thule. If your 2009 Subaru is an Outback Wagon then Thule does not recommend using a hatch mounted carrier because the vehicle is unable to support the weight of the carrier. In either case I would recommend a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For either the Legacy wagon or the Outback wagon you can use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, # 75560. For...

  • Will the Trunk Open on a 2007 Chevrolet Impala With a Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier
    You would not want to open the trunk while a trunk mounted bike rack is installed on your 2007 Chevrolet Impala because it could cause damage to the vehicle. If you would like to have access to your trunk without having to remove the bike rack every time, then I would recommend adding a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For your vehicle, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Hitch, # 36407. There will be no contact between your vehicle and a hitch mounted bike rack and you will be...

  • Will the Thule OutWay # TH45JV Fit 2012 Acura MDX
    Thule does not recommend using a hatch mounted bike rack on the 2012 Acura MDX, due to the lack of an attachment point for the top straps that is strong enough to handle the weight of the bikes plus the rack. Yakima, however, states that their FullBack 2 bike carrier, part # Y02634 will work on the MDX. As one of the manufacturers does not recommend using a trunk mount rack, I would personally be leery of doing so. I would recommend a hitch mounted rack. You could start with the the...

    There are numerous trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for your f2008 Lincoln MKX. I have included a link to them for you. Out of all the options, the one I recommend the most is the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. I actually own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is the best trunk mount bike rack I have used. What makes it so great, besides the many features like locks, ease of use, and its modern style, are the number of attachments. This rack uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of...

    Yes, the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, is listed as a fit for the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When installed according to the directions which I have linked for you, the bike rack is very stable. Because it uses retractable cables instead of straps, not only is the rack very stable but also easy and quick to install.

    For the 1993 Mazda Miata there are several trunk mount bike racks that will fit. I have included a link to the options for you. My number 1 pick for a 2-bike rack is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. What makes this rack so great is the 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks that make installation faster and easier than any other bike rack I have used. I own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is by far the best one I have used. If you will be carrying any bikes that...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Lexus RX 450h
    When I go through the standard Thule fit guide and the mobile fit guide the Thule OutWay # TH45JV does come up in both fit guides for the 2010 Lexus RX 450h. Maybe you went through it a different way but it does come up for me. Your concerns about the spoiler are valid and whether it was tested or not if you are like me you just do not want any part of the rack putting pressure on that spoiler. Luckily one bike rack manufacturer, Hollywood Racks, developed a trunk mount bike rack that...

    Due to the softer bumper on your 1994 Honda Del Sol I would recommend only carrying 2 bikes as a max. For that I would recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Rack part # TH45JV as it would fit the best. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer.
