Will Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier Fit Both 1997 Infiniti QX4 and 2004 Nissan Murano

Question:

Thinking of outway 2 bike carrier THULE. Hoping it will fit both? And in the demo I watched Kia Sorento closet I could see I'm not clear how the top cables will attach to my vehicles. Your videos BTW, are excellent. Thanks,

The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV, will fit both your 1997 Infiniti QX4 (as long as it does not have the rear-mounted spare tire) and your 2004 Nissan Murano.

Please note that for both vehicles the carrier will not allow use of the rear wiper. Mounting clips will attach to the top and bottom edges of the rear hatch; the lower arm of the carrier will rest in the area between the license plate well and upper tier of the bumper.

This excellent 2-bike carrier features dual folding arms, high-strength steel mounting cables, integrated locks and the patented Thule Fit Dial System which makes mounting to your two vehicles a simple process. This carrier can support 2 bikes up to 66 lbs total weight.

If you will transport women's or kids bikes, or bikes with an alternative-type frame design (without a horizontal top frame tube), you might benefit from the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. This item attaches between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the Raceway arms. A video for this item is provided as well.
