Will the Thule Bike Racks Work on a 2011 Ford Escape and a 2010 Toyota Prius
Question:
I have a Ford Escape and a Toyota Prius. If I can, Id like to have a rack that works for both. Does this work on both? If not, do you carry one that does?
asked by: Dave
Expert Reply:
These racks will also fit the 2011 Ford Escape. You will need to keep in mind on both vehicles that the rear wiper cannot be used when the rack is attached and that there is sufficient clearance between the attachment straps and the muffler when installing the rack.
Thule has 3 three bike trunk mount racks that are recommended for both vehicles, I will list them below from most economical to most feature rich.
Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH911XT
Thule Gateway 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH78VR
Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH56BV
You may also be interested in the Thule Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar, item # TH982XT, for carrying bikes without a horizontal top bar on the frame. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.
