Trunk Mounted Bike Rack On 2015 Or 2016 Volvo XC60

Question:

Hi - I have a 2015.5 Volvo XC60. You show a video of the Thule Gateway Pro 2-bike carrier installed on a 2015 XC60, yet when I click on the list of vehicles that it fits you dont include the XC60, only XC70 and XC90. Will this carrier work with my XC60? Thanks.

When using a trunk mounted bike rack, especially on a SUV, the main focus is optimal support of the rack to the vehicle with having minimal bumper space. With that being said, the Yakima Full Back 2 Bike Strap Rack Item # Y02634 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. It offers a wide lower support bar to give the mounting location maximum contact to the bumper/hatch. This will keep the rack supported and secured better to the vehicle when transporting the bikes. Another great feature, not only having a capacity of up to 35 pounds per bike, is the integrated cable lock to aid in deterring theft.

I could not source the video you are referencing, but have confirmed with our site, as well as with Thule, that the Gateway Pro 2 trunk mounted bike rack, is NOT a confirmed fit for your 2015.5 Volvo XC60.

I have added below a review and installation of the Yakima Full Back bike rack to give a little insight on the design and use it offers.
