Will the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV fit a 2006 Mercedes ML350
Question:
Does the Thule OutWay support 2006 ML 350 as well? And should it be mounted on license plate or bumper for support?

Expert Reply:
I checked with Thule and the OutWay part # TH45JV that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2006 Mercedes Benz ML350.
According to their fit tips the lower arms of the carrier should rest on top of the bumper.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
