Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer

Question:

I have a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer 4-Door with a wing on the trunk and no cross bars on the roof. I want a bike rack what kind should I get. I could do a hitch because we have a 2inch hitch mount bike rack already. I need help. thank you

Since none of the hitches that fit a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer are a 2 inch hitch what you would want is a new hitch bike rack that would fit a hitch like the # C11476 which is a confirmed fit.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058 We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.

Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
