Best Three Bike Trunk Mount Rack for 2013 Toyota Sienna and 2013 Volkswagen Passat

Question:

Im looking for a bike rack that will hold three bikes and will preferably work with both our 2013 Toyota Sienna LE minivan and our 2013 Volkswagen Passat SE sedan. Would the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms HRF2-3 work for both? Do you have any other recommendations?

The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles with Spoilers, # HRF2-3, is the perfect bike rack to fit both of your vehicles. That particular bike rack is the only 3 bike rack that is a fit for the Toyota Sienna, but even if that were not the case, I'd recommend it because of the overall functionality and adaptability of this unique rack.

There are other bike rack options for the Volkswagen Passat for 3 bikes accounting for a spoiler, such as the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, # TH911XT. These other recommendations do not fit the Toyota Sienna.

I have attached a video of each option as well as installation instructions. I'd also recommend an adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar, # 64005. This allows a safer commute while on the bike rack for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes.
