For your 2018 Buick LaCrosse your choices of trunk bike racks are limited, but we do have one for you.
I recommend the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms Item # MPG2139. I verified that the rack is confirmed to fit your 2018 Buick LaCrosse. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.

If you happen to have any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This provides a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have included an install video for the adapter bar so you can see exactly how it's used and why it might be needed.

Hello, Trying to find a trunk mounted bike rack for 2017 Buick Lacrosse which is similar to the 2018 Buick Lacrosse model for which the original question was asked. However, I am not able to find the Thule archway 3 bike rack on this site, nor the installation video. Can you recommend a few alternative options. Looking for something that will not scrape paint off my vehicle either the hooks and/or the mount itself, has enough spacing between the bike and the trunk so the pedals do not scratch the trunk, prefer a built in lock, anti sway. Thanks

The Archway is actually no longer available, but we do have a really similar option with the Thule Gateway Pro # TH78VR that will work really well. I verified with Thule that it's a confirmed fit for your Buick Lacrosse. It features a padded base to protect the vehicle's finish, uniquely large cradle/bike spacing, and anti-sway straps to limit movement. It does also include an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack.
