Trunk-Mounted 2-Bike Rack Recommendation For 2021 Subaru Forester
Question:
Will the thule passage 2 fit on a 2021 subaru forester? Or is there a bike rack that can be mounted to the trunk/rear of said car?

There is a really good option for a 2-bike trunk-mounted rack that fits your 2021 Subaru Forester, though I checked with Thule and verified the Passage is not a fit. The option I recommend instead is from a similar high-quality manufacturer, Yakima:
- Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # Y02634
I really like the FullBack for a number of reasons, starting with its strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points. This is important because it ensures your bikes don't make any contact with each other or your Forester.
The FullBack # Y02634 is also really easy to use, installing with four straps and a dial that has specific settings for your Forester, making it more convenient to take on and off than other trunk racks. The only other thing to note is that with this or any other trunk-mount hanging rack, if you plan on carrying kids' bikes or bikes with a step-through or alternative frame you will need to give the bikes a horizontal mounting point by using an adapter, the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021.
I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
