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

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.

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

  • Which Thule OutWay Fits 2011 Kia Soul
    The part number TH991001 you referenced is a version of the Thule Raceway that is not sold in the US whereas the part # TH9001PRO is sold here and is a fit for your 2011 Kia Soul so it would be the way to go. These are both discontinued. The newest version of this line is the OutWay. It comes in a 2- Bike # TH45JV, a 3-Bike # TH56BV, and a Platform model # TH65JV. Take a look at the attached video to see all of the great new features. This line is the most popular and the absolute...

  • 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...

  • Will Any Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Install on 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan Without Rear Wiper Interference
    Any trunk-mount type bike rack installed on a vehicle, including your 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan, will interfere with its rear wiper. This is why your previous question was answered with a recommendation to install a trailer hitch and hitch-mount type bike rack, since hitch-mount racks do not require any contact with the rear window of a vehicle. The inability to use a rear wiper with a trunk-mount rack installed in actual practice is not a very severe issue, since the loaded bikes themselves...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
    The Thule OutWay part # TH56BV has been confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen so it should work just fine on your vehicle as long as you don't overload it or take the rack off-roading. Or, for a trunk rack that is specifically designed to be used on vehicles with spoilers that might provide you with peace of mind you could use the Hollywood Rack Over the Top # HRF2-3. This rack is specifically designed to work on vehicles with spoilers so it should work well for...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
    Yes, I checked with Yakima and the Quickback 3 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV. We no longer carry this bike rack so I can't recommend it for you. The closest rack to the Quickback that we still carry is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV. 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 the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation that will not Interfere with Rear Windshield Wiper on a 2011 VW Tiguan
    In order to install a bike rack at the rear of your 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan that will not interfere with the rear wiper you will need to first install a hitch since all of the trunk racks will prevent you from being able to use your rear wiper. For a hitch I would recommend the etrailer hitch part # e98906. This is a Class III hitch with a 2-inch opening that would work very well for carrying a bike rack and will install very easily. A popular bike rack with other owners of Tiguans is...

  • Best Way to Carry 3 Bikes with a 2008 Nissan Altima Sedan
    Hitch mounted bike racks are normally a better route than trunk mounted racks. They provide a much more secure attachment to the vehicle and they don't touch any painted surfaces. However since the hitches confirmed to fit your 2008 Nissan Altima Sedan are all Class I hitches that can only carry up to 2 bikes a trunk mounted bike rack would be your best option. The best 3 bike trunk rack confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV. What makes this rack far...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota Prius with Glass Roof
    I spoke with my contact at Thule and she confirmed that the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV that you referenced will fit your 2014 Toyota Prius with a glass roof. The fit info that you referenced would be for roof racks as their roof racks do not work with the glass roof. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as 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 Swagman...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Can the Rear Hatch be Opened on a 2012 Chevy Equinox with a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Installed
    You should not lift the tailgate with a trunk mount bike rack installed for several reasons. First, the weight of the carrier can pull the hatch down on you. Opening the hatch can affect the fit of the rack and cause it to fall off. The hinges for the hatch are not designed for the extra weight. If you need to open the rear hatch then you will need to remove the bikes and rack first. With the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV, it is very easy to do so. I own this rack and it is simple to put on/take...

  • 3-Bike Rack Solution for 2010 Mazda 3 Hatchback
    I have a great solution for a 3-bike carrier for your 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback, but the only available hitches for your vehicle are Class I which is limited to only carrying up to 2 bikes. Instead of a hitch bike rack, you can use a trunk bike rack to carry 3 bikes. I highly recommend the Thule OutWay trunk 3-bike rack #TH56BV. You mentioned price. This the is top of the line with all of the features. It is absolutely the easiest trunk rack to install and remove because it only uses...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Hyundai Tucson
    I checked with Thule and there are some trunk mount bike rack fits for your 2014 Hyundai Tucson. I recommend the OutWay 2, # TH45JV. It is the 2-bike version of the OutWay 3, # TH56BV that you referenced. (The Raceway 3 is also a fit.) What makes the OutWay bike racks so great is the 2 rubber coated straps it uses instead of 6 straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy. I own the 3-bike version and it is by far the best trunk mount rack I have used. If you will be...

  • Will Thule OutWay Trunk Rack Fit 2013 Volkswagen Passat
    Yes, the 3 bike Thule OutWay part # TH56BV and it's earlier versions is a fit for your 2013 Volkswagen Passat. This is one of the nicest trunk racks on the market so it would be a great choice for you as long as it's still in good shape. I attached an install video of this rack on a 2015 Passat.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for 2006 Honda Accord Sedan
    Deciding how to carry bikes on a 2006 Honda Accord is tricky because your vehicle has a 2 bike limit when using a hitch-mount bike rack, however you can carry 3 bikes if you use a trunk mount bike rack. If carrying 3 bikes is a priority, for a 3 bike trunk-mount carrier I recommend the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. This is my favorite bike rack because of the retractable cables and hooks that you use to anchor your bike rack to your vehicle. These cables will not fatigue like straps and are...

  • Recommendation for a Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2007 or 2008 Honda Fit
    There are several trunk mount bike rack options that will fit your Fit; both a 2007 and a 2008. According to Thule, The Passage 3, # TH911XT, that you have listed will fit. Other 2 bike racks that will fit are: Thule Gateway 3, # TH78VR Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV Out of all of these, the one that I like the most is thOutWay 3, # TH56BV. The retractable cables make installation much easier than a strap system. I have included a link to videos of these bike racks for you to view. If you...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2005 Volvo XC70
    According to Thule, the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, will fit your 2005 Volvo XC70. In order to determine if the children's bikes will fit, the tire size is not the deciding factor. The frame size is what is important for a hanging rack. While the rack has narrowly spaced arms (6-1/2 to 10-1/2 inches measured outside to outside) that will hold a wide variety of bikes, you may find that you need an adapter bar, # TH982XT for any bikes that will not fit or have an alternative style frame.

  • Will The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2016 Toyota Corolla?
    I contacted Thule to get some information on this. They stated that they have not yet had the chance to test the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV on the 2016 Toyota Corolla 4 door sedan but they confirmed fitment with newer years of the Corolla. That said, they tested and verified fitment of their other bike racks such as Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR so you can rest assured that this will work. My contact at Thule and I both agree that there shouldn't be any...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Options for 2015 Subaru Forester XT with Factory Spoiler
    We have not heard back from any of our customers about how the OutWay # TH56BV impacts the factory spoiler on their Subaru Forester. I recommend checking out the spoiler on your Forester to determine if it is a plastic spoiler or a metal spoiler that is integrated in the door. If the spoiler is metal and part of the door, the Thule OutWay # TH56BV will work well. A metal spoiler is stronger and can hold up better to the weight of the rack and your bikes.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportsWagen
    Technically the Thule OutWay Platform, # TH65JV, will fit your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. However, I do not recommend this rack for your vehicle. It is best suited for vehicles that have a metal bumper. This is because the rack is heavy, about 45 pounds. When loaded with bikes, let's say 30 pounds per bike, it would 105 pounds total pushing down on the soft bumper of your V-dub. This can cause deformation in the vehicle's bumper. There isn't a 3-bike version available in this style. What...

The Passage is a great entry-level carrier that will work well for you. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you. But if you want the top of the line then I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I have an older version of this rack and it is by far the easiest trunk mount rack I have ever used.

  • Fit of Thule OutWay # TH45JV on Opel Ampera
    According to our friends at Thule, theirOutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # TH45JV and TH56BV will indeed fit a 2011-12 Chevy Volt. It will work with a vehicle that has a stock spoiler. Does this mean the OutWay will fit your Opel Ampera? I took a look at the rear end of the Ampera and it appears that it is almost exactly like the Volt. The OutWay should be able to handle an electric bike as long as the weight capacity of the rack is not exceeded. The 2 bike version of the Raceway # TH45JV...

    Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV, has been confirmed by Thule to fit on your 2011 MINI Cooper S Hatchback with rear wiper. The top clips will mount in the gap on the top edge of the rear hatch and the lower clips will secure at the bottom edge of the rear hatch. The lower arm of the bike rack should sit on the upper tier of the bumper. Please note that the rear wiper cannot be used when the bike rack is mounted on your vehicle.

  • Can Rear Wiper of 2007 Volvo XC90 Be Used with Trunk Mounted Bike Rack in Place
    The Thule Passage 3, part # TH911XT is indeed a fit for your Volvo XC90. Because the rack itself will be in very close proximity to the rear glass of your XC90, Thule does NOT recommend using the rear wiper once any rack is installed. It is very possible that using the wiper would contact either part of the rack or part of the bike, which would cause damage. You might also want to take a look at the Thule OutWay, part # TH56JV. Instead of the clumsy strap and buckle mounting arrangement...
