I'm trying to find a bike rack/carrier for the outlander....I have an 07 XLS.... would any of these fit/or tried these on their outlander..

(note: I'm just looking for rear bike carriers that will not use the hitch and I will be carrying 3 bikes)

> yakima quickback 3
> yakima king joe 3
> yakima super joe 3
> thule passage 3

or does anyone have any other suggestions?

thanks......

 

I went to all manufacturer's website, none of them have rear-mount/non-hitch setups.

 

I am in UK and use one of these and find it works OK.

I appreciate that you cannot nip over the pond to buy one but you may be able to find a similar one over there?

 

Strange, are there only 2 belts for attaching to the liftgate?
And what about liftgate plastic spoiler, making impossible to attach belts to the upper edge?

I have this carrier, but it seems to impossible use it on Outlander due to this spoiler:

 

thanks for the replies....

I emailed etailer.com to inquire and I was told that there are 'NO' rear carriers that they could recommend for the outlander... they are recommending getting a hitch installed bike rack.....

 

Roof mount with these bars and any decent bike carrier. The best cross bars I've ever used.

These bars are "more OEM" than the Mitsubishi bars (that I assume come from Thule). I think they are an international brand so guessing you can pick them up locally.

 

This bars do look pretty! Quite pricey though...

 

Yeah, they are expensive, but so much better looking than the Thule equivalents (link below) that the extra £50 became a no brainer They are also totally silent so mine are fitted permanently.

I guess I have no choice but to install a hitch.....
