Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Ford Escape

Question:

I see that the Thule OutWay 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Ford Escape. Will it also work for a 2012 Escape?

Yes, the ThuleOutWay # TH45JV is listed as a fit for the 2012 Ford Escape. I have the 3 bike version of this rack and me and my family love it. It is the easiest bike rack to use that I have come across.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all. I have linked a video showing how it works.
