Q: I’m interested in a 2005 Toyota Sienna trunk mount bike rack. I’ll be carrying either 2 or 3 bikes at a time. Any recommendations?

A: We highly recommend the Thule 962XT Speedway trunk mount bike rack for your 2005 Toyota Sienna. This trunk rack is engineered to fit your 2005 Toyota Sienna very nicely. Includes the industry’s highest stability standards, the cradles are the best for securely holding the bikes and ensuring there is no swinging into each other or the back of your car. The 962XT can carry 3 bikes while the 961XT holds 2 bikes.

Another superb option is the Saris Bones trunk bike rack. Excellent stability features and very easy to install. This is a very cool looking trunk rack too. Saris 801 Bones  holds 3 bikes while the 805 Bones carries 2 bikes.

Finally, if you are interested in a trunk bike rack that offers an integrated locking system for your bikes and the rack itself, we suggest checking out the premium Yakima QuickBack 3 and QuickBack 2 bike trunk mount bike racks.
