Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
What trunk rack will work on my 2012 Outback?
asked by: Bob K
Expert Reply:
We have numerous racks listed as a fit for a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon, including the Thule OutWay 3 bike rack, # TH56BV, that you have referenced. I have included a link to all of the racks that will fit. My top choice would be the Raceway 3 that you selected. This rack features road dampening technology, retractable cables that can be locked on one side to deter theft, and an integrated cable lock.
If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included some instruction and video links for the rack and adapter for you to view.
