The one I like best is the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. This trunk rack is perfect for carrying 2 bikes on your sedan, station wagon, or SUV. It attaches easily with 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your vehicle. It also comes with the One-Key System rack locks and a cable lock to deter theft of the rack and your bikes. The arms fold down for compact storage.

If you plan on carrying women's, children's or alternative framed bikes, you may find it easier to secure the bikes by using an adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out, # 64005. This bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem on your bike to give you a horizontal surface to secure to.

The Thule Archway XT 2-Bike Rack is no longer available, but I love the the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. This trunk rack is perfect for carrying 2 bikes on your sedan, station wagon, or SUV. It attaches easily with 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your vehicle.
