Product Information

Full details

The Thule WanderWay is a premium, tailgate-mounted bike carrier specifically engineered for Volkswagen Transporter T6 owners seeking a secure and convenient way to transport their gear. It is ideal for cyclists who value vehicle visibility and ease of access, as its elevated design keeps tail lights and license plates unobstructed even when fully loaded. While it offers a robust, pre-assembled solution for your vehicle, users should note that it is compatible only with T6 models without a rear spoiler.

FAQs

Can I use this rack with a T6 that has a spoiler?

No, the Thule WanderWay is specifically designed for T6 models without a rear spoiler.

How many bikes can the WanderWay carry?

It comes configured for two bikes, but can be expanded to hold three or four bikes with the purchase of additional adapters.

Will the rack block my license plate?

No, the rack is engineered to sit at an elevated position that keeps the tail lights and license plate visible.

Is the carrier lockable?

Yes, it features lockable AcuTight knobs to secure the bikes to the carrier.

Do I need tools to install the rack?

The rack comes pre-assembled, so minimal tools are typically required for the initial mounting process.

Can I open the tailgate with bikes loaded?

Yes, the design of the WanderWay allows for full access to the tailgate even when the carrier is fully loaded.

Troubleshooting

Tailgate feels heavy or difficult to open

Ensure that the weight of the bikes is distributed evenly and the total weight does not exceed the carrier's specified load capacity.

Knob does not click when tightening

Check if the frame clamp is fully closed; the click mechanism may not engage if the clamp is not properly seated on the frame.

Carrier rattles during transit

Double-check the tension on all attachment straps and ensure the tailgate mounting brackets are securely latched to the vehicle body.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains full access to the vehicle tailgate even when loaded
  • Tail lights and license plate remain visible during transport
  • Comes pre-assembled for a fast and hassle-free initial setup
  • AcuTight torque-limiting knobs provide peace of mind and security
  • Highly adjustable rails for diverse bike geometry

Cons

  • Compatible only with T6 models that lack a rear spoiler
  • Initial cost is higher than basic hanging-style racks
  • Requires additional adapters to reach maximum four-bike capacity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The WanderWay is shipped pre-assembled, significantly reducing the setup time required before your first outing. To install, ensure your T6 is clear of any rear spoiler accessories, as these will interfere with the mounting clamps. Regularly inspect the mounting hardware and sliding rails to ensure they are free of road grit, which can cause friction over time. When not in use, the carrier can be folded away, though it is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place during the off-season to preserve the finish of the black powder-coated frame. Always ensure the lockable knobs are engaged whenever the vehicle is parked in public areas.
