Expert Answers about Trunk Bike Racks
- Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2015 Porsche Macan
- Yes, we do have a trunk mounted bike rack for your Porsche Macan. It is the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack item # Y02638. This bike rack has a 90 lbs total capacity and a single-bike weight capacity of 35 lbs.
I really like this bike rack because it has padded feet and coated metal buckles that protect your trunk from scratches and scuffs.
I have linked a review video below.
To mount women's or alternative framed bikes you will need a bike adapter bar like item # Y02531 that attaches between...

- According to Saris, their # SA805BL Bones 2-bike trunk mount rack can accommodate 2 bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each. Even though the total weight of the two bikes you're wanting to carry won't exceed the capacity of the rack, having a bike weighing 45 lbs would place stresses on the rack that it wasn't engineered to withstand and could cause the rack to fail. The same would hold true for the # SA803 as well.
An alternative option would be to install a Class 3 hitch like the Draw-Tite...

- Most trunk-mount bike carriers are limited to 35-lbs per bike, including even the outstanding Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack trunk rack # TH88VR. Even some of the heavier-duty hitch-mount types cannot handle the weight of an electric bike, some of which can be as heavy as 70 to 80 lbs when the battery is installed.
The best solution is to install a trailer hitch and hitch rack on the Continental that will spare the car's painted finish from the potential damage that can occur with trunk...

- We do have a solution for you but unfortunately trunk mount bike racks, like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced, only have a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike. Any trunk mount bike rack that has a higher capacity will not be much higher than that, maybe 35 pounds.
If you have an e-Bike then you really need to go with a hitch mount bike rack as your bike probably weighs closer to 50 lbs. For your 2012 Buick Regal I recommend installing the Draw-Tite # 36538 which is a Class...

I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

- The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Black # SH22B is about 42-1/4" wide regardless of it being folded or not. It measures 17-1/8" from the the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part of the carrier, and measures 24-7/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the highest point of the carrier. You can compare this to the trunk of your 2017 Honda CR-V. I don't think you will have enough room but we haven't tested this so I can't say for sure.

- A Class I hitch cannot handle the load of more than 2 bikes. Unfortunately, no higher-capacity hitches are made for your car since the frame itself cannot support more load than that of a Class I hitch.
The Class I bike carrying limitation has to do with weight load, of course, but even more so with leverage. A larger 3-bike rack would have the last loaded bike fairly far from the end of the hitch tube and this weight + leverage would mean the potential for damage to the hitch receiver...

- The Saris trunk-mount bike rack fits for your 2015 Highlander (please see the attached link) do include the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack and you will not be required to use glass hatch hooks. However, you will be limited to typical bikes which are 35 -lbs or less for each bike. Even though I only recommend carrying one or two bikes on a trunk mounted rack, I still suggest the 3-bike carrier as its longer arms will give you more space between bikes for easier loading and to avoid bike-to-bike...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of Thule OutWay Trunk Mount 2-Bike Rack
- The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV you currently have can hold up to 2 bikes with a total weight of 66 pounds, or 33 pounds each. This will be the typical weight capacity of almost any trunk-mounted bike rack.
If you are looking to possibly transport heavier e-bikes, you will want to look at hitch-mounted bike carriers with higher weight capacities or that are designed specifically for this type of application. For example, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier # HLY84FR...

- There is not a specific weight limit for the replacement strap you asked about:
- Replacement Side Lower Strap for Rhode Gear Trunk Mounted Bike Racks # RG8890248

view full answer... - Can a Yakima Trunk Mount Bike Rack Hold a Single 50 Pound Bike on a 2016 Fiat 500X
- The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 has a single bike capacity of 35 pounds even though the rack has a total capacity of 90 pounds. This means if you put one bike on the rack it cannot weigh more than 35 pounds. There are no trunk mount bike racks that are rated high enough for a single 50 pound bike.
Your only option for a bike that heavy is to install a trailer hitch, # C13271, on your 2016 Fiat 500X and use a hitch mounted bike rack rated high enough for the 50 pound bike. I recommend...

- To carry bikes on your 2015 Ford Edge, I recommend using a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack.
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Ford Edge is the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75234. This trailer hitch is confirmed to fit SE, SEL, Titanium, and Sport models of the 2015 Edge. The 2 inch hitch receiver will accept a wide variety of hitch mount accessories on your Edge. The hands-free liftgate will still function with this hitch installed, but will be limited...

- The Thule OutWay trunk mount platform bike rack, part # TH65JV, can carry up to two 33 pound bikes. It's not rated to carry your 48 pound e-bike and neither are any of the trunk mount racks we carry.
Your best option is to add a hitch to your 2003 Lexus LS 430 and use a hitch mount bike rack. The Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B, is a great rack that can handle up to 60 pound bikes. Also the rack itself only weighs about 22-12 pounds. The Thule you looked at is about twice that.

- The Yakima Tube Top, part # Y02531, and all similar bike adapter bars cannot support the weight of your 60-lb electric bike on a hanging style rack. No trunk racks can handle this weight either.
With this being the case Thule's EasyFold 2 Bike Hitch Rack # TH903202, along with either a 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch hitch on your vehicle, will let you avoid needing extra adapter parts and be a much safer way to transport your bikes.

- The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT has a total weight capacity of 105 lbs, but that's for all 3 bikes. When we break that down it comes out to 35 lbs per bike which is standard for trunk mount bike racks.
For your E-Bike you're going to need to install a trailer hitch on your 2016 Toyota Corolla and go with a hitch mount bike rack.
I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24913 and then using the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY74FR. This bike...
view full answer... - Do Trunk-Mounted Bike Racks Like Thule Passage 2 TH910XT Have a Travel Distance Limit
- Bike racks like the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT are rated for weight capacity but they are not rated with a specific travel time or distance limitation. But you raise a good point.
In practical terms an important thing to consider when taking any length of trip with any trunk-mount bike rack installed on the car is keeping the vehicle and rack surfaces clean and free or grit that could (over time) scuff the clear coat finish on your paint job. Even a securely-mounted rack will shift slightly...
