2 bike towball mounted rack

[Jeeves]

I have tried to sift through the threads but can’t seem to find any answers- I’m looking to buy a Thule or similar removable tow bar mounted 2 bikes rack - which one fits and without modifications allows access into the tailgate by tilting or otherwise? ( I know some fit with modifications but I’m wondering if any fit straight out of the box)

Thule Velospace XT3 works well. Allows the full opening of the tailgate. We also have the Spacemate drawer installed and this can still fully pull out.

I have the Thule Easyfold 3 - 2 bike rack purchased new earlier this year and is a cinch to fit having come from the tailgated bike rack also by Thule on a Caravelle, which also was faultless in 5 years of use . I haven’t fitted it yet to the California but is perfect on the car and it also tilts so you are able to open the tailgate easily.

Many thanks! That is exactly what I was looking to find out- we were considering getting a totalcool slide out drawer if we could find a towball mounted rack so your reply is double helpful- can I ask what towball you have?

It depends heavily on the handlebar width. I found a better one than thule. See my post: https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/thread...eight-modular-bike-rack-recommendation.61727/
