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:

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.



by:

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

  • Recommended Options for Carrying Three or Four Bikes on 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan
    To see the various trunk mount bike racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2011 Grand Caravan, click the provided link. Of the various racks, I would recommend the Thule OutWay 3-bike model, part # TH56BV. The ratcheting cables used to attach the rack to the vehicle are what differentiates the OutWay from other models. The 2 retractable cables are much easier to use than the complicated and difficult to use buckles and straps typically used on trunk bike racks. Because they are so easy...

  • 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
    If 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...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Land Rover LR2
    I checked with Thule and the OutWay 3 bike rack, # TH56BV, will fit your 2008 Land Rover LR2. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bike racks, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.

  • Will Thule OutWay Trunk Rack fit a 2010 Cadillac SRX
    Yes, we checked with Thule and the OutWay part # TH56BV that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Cadillac SRX. The upper arm of the rack would rest below the spoiler and would not contact it. If you are concerned about the straps on your spoiler, then I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers # HRF2-3. I attached a review video for this bike rack for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed...

  • What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2021 Kia Niro EV?
    I have a great bike rack solution for 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...

  • Will the ThuleOutWay 3 Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Fit a 2001 Toyota 4Runner
    Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier, part # TH56BV, will fit your 2001 Toyota 4Runner. Your vehicle is compatible with a broad variety of 3-bike carriers, all of which can be seen on the link provided. Note that trunk-mount carriers will prevent use of the rear wiper. The Thule OutWay 3 includes integrated locks for both the carrier itself and your bikes, uses 2 strong steel cables for mounting (rather than 6 wear-prone nylon straps) and features the patented Thule Fit-Dial...

  • Thule OutWay VS Thule Raceway Product Comparison
    The Thule Raceway has been discontinued which is why it is no longer available from Thule. It's been replaced with the OutWay # TH56BV (sedan, station wagon, or SUV) and Gateway # TH78VR (sedan, hatchback, or van) racks. Depending on the style of your vehicle either of these bike racks are a fantastic choice. The OutWay easily attaches using 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your vehicle. 2 Padded arms with cradle indentions and padded...

  • Compatibility of Thule OutWay # TH56BV with 2006 Audi A3 5 Door Hatchback
    According to Thule, the OutWay 3 Bike model, part # TH56BV is indeed a fit for your Audi A3 5 door hatchback. The OutWay features ratcheting hooks that attach the rack to the car, instead of the difficult to use straps and buckles used by other racks. One of the ratchets is lockable, which secures the rack to the vehicle. The rack itself features a locking cable to secure the bikes to the rack. Just a quick caution, you will want to avoid using the rear wiper while the rack is in place. If...

  • 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2006 Honda Civic Sedan
    OutWay Part # TH56BV which is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Honda Civic sedan and would be a great option. It uses rubber-coated metal straps for securing the hooks to the vehicle which are much sturdier than the fabric straps of other racks. As long as each of your bike racks doesn't weigh more than 33 lbs a piece this rack will fit and work well. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Subaru Impreza 5 Door for 20 inch Bike Frame
    For such a narrow bike frame you would need to go with a bike rack that has adjustable arms that allow them to be adjusted closer together. For that we have the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV which is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Subaru Impreza 5 door without a spoiler. This is the nicest trunk rack around so it would be a great option. 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...

  • Will The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier Part # TH56BV Fit a 2014 Hyundai Sonata
    According to Thule, the OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH56BV you mentioned is a fit for your 2014 Hyundai Sonata. I have linked you to a product review video for this carrier. If you are planning on carrying women's bikes or any bike that has an alternative frame, I would recommend the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. The adapter bar attaches to your bike seat post and handlebar stem post, providing a horizontal bar for the bike rack to secure. I have linked you to a product review...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Dent or Scratch a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe
    Any trunk mount bike rack on any vehicle has the potential to scratch or dent the vehicle. However there are things that you can do to prevent this from occurring such as not overloading the rack and making sure the rack and vehicle are clean where they come into contact with each other. I own the Thule OutWay # TH56BV and have not had any scratches or dents on my vehicle loaded with 3 bikes. Be sure that you remove the rack when not in use and drive carefully over bumpy roads to limit...

  • Recommended 3 Bike Rack for 2010 Nissan Rogue Compatible with Jett Specialized Bike
    I checked out the Jett Specialized bike online, pretty cool looking! If you'd use a frame adapter bar like the Swagman # 64005, you should have no trouble carrying the bike on just about any bike rack. The adapter bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, providing a more level attachment point to the bike rack. This would allow the bike to be carried so its more level, which would provide more ground clearance. The Thule OutWay 3-bike rack # TH56BV you...

  • Recommended 3-Bike Rack for 2005 Audi A6
    I think the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV 3-bike rack is an excellent choice because this rack comes equipped with the locks that will lock your bike to your rack and your rack to your vehicle already included. It also has 4 ratcheting cables opposed to 6 nylon straps and premium cradle pads that absorb road shock and minimize vibration. The 4 cables instead of 6 straps will also make for easy setup on your 2005 Audi A6. Here are some installation notes the OutWay comes with for...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with Factory Spoiler
    I do have a recommendation for you but unfortunately the Thule OutWay, part # TH56BV, is not confirmed to fit your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. Thule doesn't have any 3-bike racks that are a fit. Unfortunately, we do not have any 3-bike racks that are specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers. We have the 2 bike carrier by Hollywood Racks that will work with most factory spoilers. It is the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 bike carrier # HRF6-2. It carries up to 2 bikes that weigh up...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2009 Mazda CX-7 and 2013 Toyota Sienna
    Between your two vehicles there actually are no trunk rack fits for both. The OutWay part # TH56BV does fit your 2009 Mazda CX-7 and would work well. The Sienna would need a Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 which is a fit for vehicles like this with spoilers.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation to Carry Womans and Childs Bike on 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Since your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee is not equipped with a trailer hitch, the most economical route would be to go with a trunk mounted bike rack. One of my personal favorites is the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack, # TH45JV. This rack is loaded with options including the patented Fit-Dial system which allows you to quickly and easily mount the rack as well as 2 retractable cables for mounting instead of the 6 straps used by a lot of other carriers. If your house is anything like mine, it is...

  • 3 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Volvo XC70
    For 3 bikes, we do have some options from Thule. I recommend the OutWay 3, # TH56BV. This bike rack uses only 2 retractable cables rather than 6 straps to secure to the vehicle so it installs and removes faster than any other bike rack I have seen. The cables can be locked into place to deter theft. The rack also features a cable lock to secure the furthest out bike to the rack preventing the theft of all the bikes. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes,...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Ford Edge
    The Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV, will fit the 2012 Ford Edge. An adapter bar is recommended for any bike that does not have a top frame tube that goes straight across. This is so the bike can be carried level because if they were carried at an angle, one end of the bike would be closer to the ground giving you poor ground clearance. It also throws off the center of gravity on the rack. There are different adapter bars you could use all of which do the same thing. The Thule model is # TH982XT....

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
    I really like the Thule Archway, part # TH9009XT. The rack has thickly padded cradles that will do a great job of protecting the investment you have in your bike. Anti-sway cradles will prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth during transport, and striking each other or the rear of the vehicle. The rack features a locking strap that would be closed in the hatch of the vehicle, as well as an integrated cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack. Although its above your budget, you...

  • Distance Between Arms Of Thule Gateway 3 and Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carriers
    I went to our warehouse and measured the arm distance of both the Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV and the Thule Gateway 3, part # TH78VR. I measured from the outside edges of the rubber cradles that the bikes sit on. The distance between the outside edges of the cradles on the OutWay 3, part # TH56BV is 10-1/2 inches. The distance I measured on the Gateway 3, part # TH9007XT is 11-3/4 inches. You may wish to measure the distance on the carrier you have to make sure the difference of 1-1/4...

  • Trunk-Mount 3-Bike Carrier Recommendation for 2006 Subaru Legacy Wagon
    For your 2006 Subaru Legacy Wagon I can suggest 3-bike racks from Thule that will easily handle two kid's bikes plus an adult bike. If you'd like a rack that offers the convenience of built-in locks for the rack itself and also for your loaded bikes then I suggest the Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV. If you prefer a more cost-effective non-locking carrier then I suggest the Gateway 3, part # TH78VR. With either option you will want to load the heaviest bike first (so it is nearest the vehicle)...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation Is the Thule OutWay the Best Choice for a Toyota Sienna Mini Van
    You are correct, Thule does recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH56BV, for your 2004 Toyota Sienna. I recently had the chance to install this rack on a vehicle, not a mini van, and it is the easiest to install trunk mount rack that I have used. If you will be using the bike rack on different vehicles or might be getting a new vehicle in the near future, this is the rack I would recommend, and it will safely carry your bikes, see video link.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible
    I would recommend a hitch and hitch mount bike rack for your 2006 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible. Because there is no place to secure the top straps of a trunk mounted bike rack, none of the manufacturers carry a trunk mount that is recommended for the convertible models. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, # 24679, along with the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670, platform 2 bike rack would be an excellent setup for transporting bikes with your Beetle.
