Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Options and Recommendations for a 1996 Ford Explorer
Question:
Which trunk mounted bike racks fit a 1996 ford explorer?
asked by: Richard V
Expert Reply:
I attached a link to a page that has all of the trunk mounted bike racks that are available for your 1996 Ford Explorer.
The one that I would recommend the highest would be the Thule OutWay 3 part # TH56BV. This rack uses rubber coated steel cables instead of fabric straps which would make it much harder to steal. It also only uses two attachment straps instead of six like most racks.
I attached a review video and installation instructions for this product for you to check out.
If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you might also be interested in purchasing a Thule Frame Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.
