Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Highlander

Question

Question:

I can’t figure out why this says it won’t fit on my car. Is it because of the spoiler?

Spoilers do make fitting trunk racks quite a bit more challenging which is why the # TH911XT isn't a fit for your 2017 Toyota Highlander. For a similar bike rack that is a fit and we had the chance to install on a 2017 Toyota Highlander the Yakima Hangout part # Y02637 is a fit and a really great option. I attached a picture of it installed as well as a link to an install video as well.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.

I am sorry to say that we do not offer an upright hanging style bike rack that will fit those parameters. With any hanging style 5 or 6 bike rack you will not be able to carry a bike that is over about 37 lbs. We do offer an upright style rack that…

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part #C11473 is what I recommend for a 2019 Toyota Prius. It features a bolt-on install with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. It has a class I rating so it can be used with any bike rack suited for this. For a…
