Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Audi A  

Question:

Hi, I'm between the Yakima Fullback 2-bike rack trunk-mount and the Thule Gateway Pro 2-bike rack for my 2015 Audi A4. I want something easy to install and take off when not in use ... really just a weekend rack. Which trunk-mount racks let you open you the trunk with the rack still on the trunk? Thanks

Expert Reply:

For ease of use with your 2015 Audi A4, I recommend going with the Yakima Fullback, # Y02634. The Fullback holds a pair of bikes and includes a straightforward installation process using just four straps instead of the common six like the Thule Gateway Pro, # TH88VR.

The Fullback also includes folding dual arms for simple storage on the days you won't be using it, and keep in mind that even though trunk-mounted bike racks will not allow access to the trunk while they are in use, the racks can be removed without much effort. I have included a video link for you to view for more more information.

If trunk access is something you value while hauling your bikes, you will need a trailer hitch that fits with your vehicle, such as the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, # DT24950, and a hitch-mounted bike rack, such as the Curt # C18085 two-bike rack.
