Thule Gateway Pro Trunk Bike Rack

Great bike rack, the only thing I would say that could have been better about it, is the straps, they don’t stay put.

I cannot complain about the quality of this product. It is durable, secure, and frankly cool looking. My only issue is that on my Chevy Sonic, the back wiper can't run while this is installed. The frame blocks it (and there is no room to adjust). If the wiper does go off, it gets stuck and the only way around is to remove entirely. Also Thule doesn't really make it easy to find out what setting you need to install for your make/model. But the device itself is fantastic.

Good quality bike rack. Easy to install and fits the back hatch of my Subaru Crosstrek. Thule phone support was exceptional as I had one question about the rack dial setting. I do wish the metal hooks were rubber coated. I ordered padded hook covers (from another vendor) and no worries now about paint scratching.

(Thule censored the below review and refused to allow its publication on their website) Last Thule product I ever purchase I never even got the bikes on. Unfortunately, I bought it from their Amazon store where they do not mention the "Fit my car" feature, and of course I only find out it does not fit after the return window has closed. Then, the instructions are utter garbage. It's just pictures, no text, that they claim is for "ease of understanding". 1. You have technically unlimited room to add translations for ever language, you are just trying to save on paper. 2. Adding text in one language is better than none. 3. You can at least have the text online, which you don't. 4. You are not IKEA, I am not building a side table. 100s, if not 1000s of dollars of equipment are being placed on this rack. If this falls off on a highway, it could kill someone. The pictures are simply not enough. *Listen to your customers* Not a fan of the buckle that cinches the belt which connects side-bottom. The metal hooks also have no padding, so expect some scratches on your car. Lastly, we have a difficult time with getting 2 bikes on there: the handlebars of one bike conflicted with the wheel of the other. Can't imagine trying to fit 3 on there. Two other friends asked about the bike rack after I purchased it, I will be telling them to stay clear of Thule. --- REPLY FROM THULE WHEN REVIEW WAS SUBMITTED TO THEIR WEBSITE --- Our staff has read your review and values your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines.

The rack itself is quality material and easy enough to install. A word of caution because it did not even dawn on me that a step through bike (girls bike) would need some kind of adapter in order for the bike to be mounted on the rack. Research the frame adapters to see if one works on your bike before ordering and being heart broken like me.

Very high quality product, as usual from Thule, but it doesn't work on the Volvo XC60. The side straps are required to keep it from rocking, and the Volvo tailgate does not have an edge that will hold the strap hooks. All the metal edges are at angles, or place the strap hook against expensive plastic tail light lens or the glass window. I also had big concern with the top straps as they will probably rub on the spoiler and ruin the paint. I'm going to have to install a hitch if I want a rack for my wife's bike on the Volvo.

I used this to take my bike to our vacation house in Florida. I was worried as it looked a little flimsy, but it worked great. 600 miles and no issue.

Have to work to find the instructions somewhere online. THULE sticker fell off? The joint for the arm is rather difficult to adjust on one side, so the quality isn't very great but still trust it holding my bike when it's clamped down. The pulley / straps don't give me 100% confidence as they seem like they're off of a backpack. I wish they had a ratchet of some sorts. Everything holds, I just question how long of a trip I'd use this for holding my bikes. Overall it's "good", not awesome.

Se ve un rack de buena calidad y súper fácil de instalar, sin embargo no tiene un candado para asegurarse al carro, los cinchos tienen que ser ensamblados hasta el fondo y se escuche el click, por qué si no es muy difícil abrirlos. Si usaras bicicleta de montaña y la barra no es recta tendrás que comprar el frame support .

Thule makes great carriers. We have both a kayak carrier and this bike carrier. The bike carrier is very sturdy, easy to use and doesn’t move or bounce around during transport. You can put your bikes on with no anxiety about them falling off! The attachment straps take a little trial and error to work correctly but you’ll figure it out! Spend the extra money and invest in a well made Thule product. You won’t regret it! By the way, do your research on the Thule website before you order. Thule will show you what model carriers will fit on your vehicle. If it doesn’t fit it’s not the manufactures fault!

Ich kann es nur bedingt empfehlen. Obwohl es seinen Hauptzweck erfüllt, sind das Be- und Entladen des Fahrrads sowie die Installation des Gurtes sehr umständlich. Die Haltearme lassen sich nur schwer öffnen, und es scheint, dass bei übermäßigem Kraftaufwand einige Teile brechen könnten.

Once the initial setup is done it's a piece of cake.

Der Träger kam zwar im Originalkarton an, es fehlte jegliche Umverpackung, was an sich zu begrüßen wäre. Der Träger weisst aber Kratzspuren, eine Schraube lag loose im Karton, und zwei Klappen für die Radbefestigung fehlen. Wir sind enttäuscht. Das geht zurück.
