Best Car Trunk Bike Racks

The Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rake for 2 bikes is a good product. I used it to transport my mountain e-bike. I choose this particular unit because it can handle the weight 2 of bikes (non-e-bikes) and the weight of my e-bike is equivalent to weight of 2 bikes. Note: Must readjust the straps after mounting the bike to the rake.

great! works really well, and a lot easier to attach than I anticipated. We drove with bikes across the country from south west all the way to North east. solid rack!

Way too light duty for what is advertised. It seemed to be made out of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. I would never put three bikes on that rack. I only had two bikes on the rack. While on trip through Idaho the wind was so strong that one of the bikes partially blew off the rack. We traveled 1,800 miles and upon arriving home I actually sawed the bike rack up and threw it away so that no one else would use it and cause an accident. I've already found a different brand that is HEAVY DUTY and I will stick with that brand.

This is definitely more of a 2 bike carrier vs 3 bikes. I had to take the front wheels off two bikes to get three bikes on this carrier. Also, it rubbed the paint off on the trunk of my Subaru legacy.

So far really great! I love the stability my bike has on the rack, fit for my 2021 Honda Civic, and the quality of the material engineered into the design to prevent damage to the cars paint/parts.

Works great even using an electric bike like my Aventon Soltera.

First rack I've ever purchased I misplaced the end bar used to lock the bikes onto the rack. Can I buy another one?

Loving my bike rack it looks really stylish on my SQ5. It’s super easy to install, I don’t even need any help, so win win. It’s also sturdy, I have travelled multiple times from ATL to FL without any issues. The only problem is the bottom bar has a hard plastic, which rubs at the bottom of my hatch below the plate. I fixed this by cutting a pool noodle to protect my car by adding it to the bottom over the hard plastic. And added rubber stoppers under the top straps to stop shafting on the trunk spoiler. All and all good buy!

When I started the search for a bike rack, I was so disappointed and upset to hear that I would need to install a hitch and spend even more money to buy another bike rack for my 2016 jeep renegade. I ordered this bike rack with a little hope but got a huge surprise! Not only is it super convenient and easy to install but I can fully use my trunk and not spend a ton of money!

Very nice, works well. The only thing that was an issue was with the "Anchor" part of assembly. The straps it came with were 2-3 ft. too short. So I had to replace/substitute my cargo straps for the Yakima top straps. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with this item.

Performed perfectly on a 140 mile round-trip in my 2017 Acura MDX. It took me a few tries to position the anchors inside the top of the hatch, but I got the hang of it and the rack did not shift at all while driving 50-60 mph on the highway.

This product is steady, but heavy and I'm not sure it's good for RAV4 2024. I used it one time with 3 bicycles, and the lower touching part made the trunk door dented because of the pressure.

My previous rack had a metal frame, so I was slightly skeptical about the plastic frame on this rack, but after a year, I can say that it has done the job holding my bike securely in place. I don't have to worry about rust either which is nice.

WOW... Outstanding product, well-engineered, quality materials, easy to install, works as advertised, and a perfect fit to my 2016 KIA Forte5. Not cheap... but, you get what you pay for... can't imagine a better bike rack out there. Great bike rack!

Truly a great product! The bike rack is a huge improvement over the one it replaces. I had lost confidence in it, as it was always loose and sloppy when in use for long distances. The materials are high-quality, with very dense plastic arms, a metal main tube, and strapping that can be pulled quite tight. Overall a very solid piece of equipment. Each bike has three points of attachment, which keeps them very stable. The ratchet mechanism is much easier to manipulate when compared to web straps, which always seem to work loose, but are difficult to work with when removing a bike. The feet, which get placed on the glass and in the license plate well on my Subaru, are flexible and substantial. When placed according to the online fitment guide, I can still use my backup camera, at least when no bikes are on. I can also drop the arms easily when not carry bikes, and storage off of the car will be very easy. For my wife's step-through frame, I acquired the Saris Bike Beam, which makes placement on the arms very easy, and seems to be very stable. These products are clearly well engineered and manufactured. Great customer service and fast shipping from Etrailer combine for a great purchasing experience. I highly recommend this item!

Great product so far! Easy to install and adjust. A little tricky to load 2 large handlebar mountain bikes and a third smaller bike, but we just turned them sideways with the front wheels taken off. We had racks on bikes which were probably the impediment. We got them on though! Love how it folds up easy for quick storage. Works great on 2014 Subaru Outback.

Exactly as advertised, transported 2 Trek bikes on on the back of my 2016 Toyota Avalon without issue - travelling from Boston MA to Green Bay WI. Outstanding price buying this item as open-box. etrailer's website is the best I could find on the web with name brand racks, automated compatibility vehicle check, and they they shipped overnight.

This rack fits well on our 2015 Toyota RAV4. There are six attachment points, each with a coated hook on the end to fit around the trunk lid. Once mounted and tightened, the rack is comfortably stable and solid. Bikes are easy to mount as well, with just a few straps. Note that a BMX bike, due to its small geometry, will not fit. Also of note, the hooks on the ends of the two straps which lead out in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions will chafe the car's paint. I wrapped those in electrical tape in order to minimize the effect. Overall, a good choice for a trunk rack.

Good to great product. Is easy to secure to the back of my 2012 Mazda 5 station wagon. Mounting 3 adult sized bikes took some practice to navigate through hinged braces especially with a bike that had an unconventional frame. Requires some bungee cord traction to keep front wheels from flailing around but that is probably an issue with all bike racks?

Works great! We keep it set up to one position because it's used on my car only. I'm glad we bought the lock feature because we can just leave the rack on at the trail site. This was a great purchase. I'm impressed that you follow up on your product. I recall your staff was quite helpful in making sure I purchased the correct item for my car and set it up correctly. No recent pictures of the carrier but I do have one of myself as "happy camper" on the Fox River Trail which was doable because of the carrier purchase!!

My wife and I love our bike rack and use it regularly with ease. Thank you

I have a 2017 Acura RDX. I had to be creative for the hooks and straps to work. The lower strap hook is not compatible with my hatch. And I really didn't want to have them hook under my plastic bumper, so I shut the straps in the hatch and hooked them to 2 hooks I have in the trunk. Works perfect. A picture is attached. I have a Cannondale Bad Girl, which is the dumbest bike ever designed ( but that is a different review forum) so I had to be creative getting it mounted like I usually do. Works great. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because I don't believe the hooks are really compatible with the RDX, unless you have an awesome spouse willing to get shut in the trunk and place the hooks for you while you tighten from the outside. etrailer.com has the best customer service I have dealt with in a while. Fantastic crew!

I bought this carrier for a 2014 Nissan Maxima. The price, recycled plastic and design all appealed to me. I gave it only 3 stars because I learned - too late for my first ride - that the button on the buckle that the cradle straps pass through does not have enough clearance to release the straps. The button makes contact with the frame of the cradle without releasing the straps. On the video there is much more clearance to depress the button than on my unit. When I got home I used a flat head screwdriver inserted into the back of the buckle to pry up the buckle so the strap could slide. Not ideal but better than having the carrier take my bike hostage.

Happy with this product. Super fast delivery. The carrier fit my 2017 VW Altrack and was easy to install. My bike stayed secure through an 11 hour drive There is no way to lock the bike on the carrier so you will need to remove it if you stay at a hotel or camp ground overnight. It’s very easy to remove and reinstall on the carrier. I did need to wrap one of the pedals to keep it from scratching my car. The pedal could also be removed but I found it easier to add protective padding. I definitely will use this carrier again, for local trails and for further trips.

We love our bike rack. It's been perfect for our needs!

I really liked this product, it was easy to set up and very secure on the back of my minivan. The bikes were held very securely and everything stayed in place without any marks on the vehicle. I would definitely recommend.

I have a sedan and was able to mount two bikes on it. To my surprise there wasnt much or if any movement once I tightened everything. I did put few extra bungee cords and a towel in sone places to prevent from rubbing other than that its a solid product, solid construction and everything is simple yet effective. If I would improve anything that would be to add some foam protection in some areas where it would possibly Could hit ot touch bur thats it. I do like what I paid money for and my bikes are about 25 lbs each so according to capacity i could fit another one onto the rack but I feel like it would be too tight even though its meant for 3 bikes, I feel Like i definitely would need to wrap sone some in towels. But it would probably work. Anyway, looks like the products of this company are legit, If you need a bike rack Im sure you will be able to find what you looking for here.

The bike rack was easy to put on and off. I had a question regarding my invoice, and Tyler took care of it quickly and efficiently. The quality of service is exemplary. Thank you.

The Komodo was the perfect solution for carrying my road bike on the trunk lid on my old BMW Z3 Roadster. I also purchased the front wheel Hogg and or works beautifully. Seasucker's Komodo Is a very high quality product that looks like a piece of art. I'm likely to get more compliments on the Komodo rack than my bike or car!

Pretty straight-forward on how to affix to trunk, any questions are covered nicely throughout the instruction booklets. Once fastened, everything is confidently snug. The only thing I was initially concerned about was the potentiality that the clamps might not fit around my frame (being a thicker-framed MTB). I actually found a YouTube video of somebody reviewing the item and they actually showed some good ideas for how to fit the bike securely to the rack. Once you get that dialed-in, it's as sound as a pound. Haven't had any issues with the rack and don't even worry about it or the bike while driving. Worth the purchase.

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.

It was supposed to come with 4 small straps and 6 large straps. However, there were only 3 small straps in the package, and the package was very much intact when we received it. The rack fits well in our 2018 Nissan Pathfinder SV. Although, it was so difficult to make 1 adult road bike and 2 kids road bikes to fit. It more comfortably fits 2 bikes to be honest with you. And our bikes are thin and light.

It is a good bike carrier but if I had it to do again I would bite the bullet and buy a trailer hitch for my Jetta and go with a hitch mount. I believe it is more secure.

I've got this rack for a Corolla SE 2025. It took me some time to figure out how it would fit. As other reviewers mentioned, the instructions are far from perfect. But as far as the product goes, the rack looks pretty robust and sturdy. The shopping experience with Trailer was very positive. They kept in touch during the process, which I appreciated.

Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.
