Will the Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack Fit on a 2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
Question:
Hello, I have a 2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon, and I would like to buy a bike rack, but not the one that goes on the top of the roof. I saw on your website Thule Doubletrack Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier and I thought, that I would purchase one but do not know if it will be good for my car. If so, what else I should buy to fasten the bike rack?

Expert Reply:
The Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack, # TH92BJ, will work well with your 2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon as long as you have a trailer hitch installed on your TSX. Since this is a hitch mount bike rack, a trailer hitch is required to mount the bike rack to your vehicle.
If you do not have a trailer hitch installed on your TSX, then I recommend installing the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11496. Other than the trailer hitch, you will not need any other items to use this bike rack with your TSX.
The platform-style bike rack makes it easy to load and unload your bikes. This bike rack also includes an anti-rattle locking hitch pin to reduce the movement of the bike rack when driving and to secure the bike rack to your vehicle while you are out on the trail. I have attached a video of the Doubletrack bike rack on an Acura ILX for you to check out.
