Rear Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota Highlander  

Question:

Expert Reply:

We offer a wide variety of trunk mounted bike racks for your 2007 Toyota Highlander so I have attached a link to all of the trunk mounted bike racks that will fit your vehicle. The trunk mounted bike rack that I would recommend is the Thule Raceway 3 Bike Rack, # TH56BV. This is one of our most popular bike racks and it uses two retractable cables rather than 4-6 straps of other carriers. The cables will provide stronger attachment points to your vehicle than traditional straps.

I have attached installation instructions and a video of this bike rack for you to check out.

I also recommend looking into a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Apex XT, # TH9025XT, if you have a trailer hitch on your vehicle. A hitch mounted bike rack doesn't contact your vehicle, eliminating the potential for paint scratches or denting from over tightening or overloading. This bike rack also folds giving access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle without removing the rack. I have attached installation instructions and a video of this bike rack for you as well.

If you do not have a trailer hitch on your vehicle, but are interested in this option, then you could install the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13530. I have attached installation instructions and an installation video of this trailer hitch on a Toyota Highlander for you to check out.

If you plan on carrying any wome's, children's or alternative bike frames, then you may also want to pick up the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. Some small and angled bike frames can be difficult to load on a bike rack and this adapter will allow you to load the bikes easily and safely.
