Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit Both a 2010 Toyota Venza and a 2006 Toyota Matrix

Question:

Will this rack fit a 2010 toyota Venza and a 2006 Toyota Matrix? How do you carry a step through bike?

The Thule OutWay 3, part # TH56BV, will not fit the Venza but will fit the Matrix. The size, shape and structure of the Venza will not support the 3 bike version.

The best way to carry an alternative frame bike, like a step-through, would be with a frame adapter. Thule offers a frame adapter, part # TH982XT, that should allow you carry a step-through frame bike level on the carrier. The adapter bar goes around the seat post and handle bars. I have added a link to a video review of the adapter bar.
