Recommended 3-Bike Trunk Rack That Will Fit a 2022 Subaru Forester

Question:

I have 3 bikes I want to carry with my 2022 Subaru Forester. I do not want to install a receiver hitch or attempt to put them on the roof as I am to short for that. What rack can I use on my rear lift gate to carry these bikes.

For your 2022 Subaru Forester I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633. With this rack you can carry 3 bikes up to 35lbs each but the weight of all 3 bikes cannot exceed 90lbs total on the carrier. The carrier itself weighs only 21lbs making it easier to install on your Forester. With 3 straps to secure each bike this will help prevent the bikes from contacting each other and causing damage to your Forester. An integrated cable lock will allow you to secure the bikes to the rack so that you can safely leave them attached to your Forester when you need to leave the vehicle.

A Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531 will be needed if you have any bikes with a female or other oddly shaped frame.
