Questions about Thule EasyFold XT 3

If you have a towbar on your car, it will most likely be compatible. The best thing to do is to go to the Thule website and see if they say anything about your vehicle. Normally there is no reason why it shouldn't be as it is standardised. On my Audi SQ5 with the original removable tow bar it is ok.

The EasyFold XT 3 is designed to carry a maximum of 3 bikes with a total load capacity of 60 kg. It does not support an add-on for a 4th bike. It is compatible with the ABUS lock system as it features lockable bike-to-rack and rack-to-vehicle functions, and is One Key System compatible. However, there is no official add-on for a 4th bike for this model.

The main differences between the EasyFold and the EasyFold XT are: - The EasyFold XT accommodates bikes with tires up to 3 inches wide, while the EasyFold supports tires only up to 2.5 inches wide. - The EasyFold XT has an integrated ramp that folds up, whereas the EasyFold has a removable ramp. - The EasyFold XT includes wheels for easier movement of the carrier, which weighs about 50 lbs. - The EasyFold XT is a newer, improved version of the original EasyFold with these enhanced features. Regarding the EasyFold XT 3 specifically, compared to the EasyFold XT 2: - The EasyFold XT 3 carries 3 bikes, while the XT 2 carries 2. - The XT 3 is heavier (23.1 kg vs. 17.9 kg) and wider (83 cm vs. 63 cm). - Both have a maximum load capacity of 60 kg and similar features like taillights and 13-pin connectors. - The XT 3 offers a smart foot pedal with topple feature for easy boot access, which is not on the XT 2. In summary, the EasyFold XT is an upgraded version of the EasyFold with better tire compatibility, integrated ramp, and wheels, and the XT 3 variant adds capacity for 3 bikes and some size and feature enhancements over the XT 2.

The Thule EasyFold XT 3 bike carrier is designed to transport up to 3 bikes as standard and there is no official extension or adapter from Thule to extend it to 4 bikes. A similar model, the Thule VeloSpace XT, can be extended to 4 bikes with an adapter, but this does not apply to the EasyFold XT 3, so an extension of the EasyFold XT 3 to 4 bikes with an adapter is not intended or officially supported.

No, for large frames it's better to use the epos model.

The tow bar is compatible with a wide range of bicycles and electric bikes, supporting up to 3 bikes with a maximum weight of 30 kg per bike and a total load of 60 kg. It accepts frames from 22 to 80 mm in diameter and wheels up to 29 inches, with a maximum tyre width of 3 inches (up to 4.7 inches with special straps). It is equipped with an anti-theft system and rear lights, and allows access to the boot even with loaded bikes. For compatibility with a Peugeot E-3008, check that the vehicle has a tow bar compatible with this type of bike carrier. This model is designed to fit a standard 2-inch (50 mm) towbar, which is common on SUVs like the Peugeot E-3008. For accurate confirmation, we recommend using the compatibility configurator on the official Thule manufacturer's website, entering the exact details of the vehicle. In general, this bike carrier is compatible with most vehicles fitted with a standard towbar, including SUVs like the Peugeot E-3008.

Yes, compatible; the so-called "fix4bike" ball joints have 2 lugs on the underside of the ball joint (for greater stability), but require a specific "fix4bike" mounting.

Yes, the model requires a special FIX4BIKE trailer coupling from ORIS. This coupling offers a simple and secure fastening system with two lateral bolts on the ball neck.

No, the clamping mechanism is probably not designed for this. However, there is a variant for normal clutches.

The Thule EasyFold XT 3 bike carrier is designed to be mounted on a tow bar, so it should be compatible with the electrically removable tow bar on your 2018 Ford Kuga ST-Line, provided that the tow bar meets the mounting standards of the bike carrier. Please ensure that the total weight of the bicycles does not exceed the maximum load of 60 kg. To confirm specific compatibility, I recommend you consult the official Thule website or contact an authorised Thule dealer.

Yes, you can unlock the lower part with the foot and the boot becomes accessible because everything is folded forwards.

The manufacturer also states that this product has an exact fit for FIX4BIKE trailer couplings. https://www.thule.com/de-ch/bike-rack/towbar-bike-racks/thule-easyfold-xt-f-2-_-965500

The Thule EasyFold XT F3 fits on the towbar of a Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet year 2024, provided the vehicle is equipped with a towbar. The EasyFold XT F3 is compatible with 1.25" and 2" towbars, which covers most standard towbars. However, it is advisable to check that the specific towbar of the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet meets the requirements before installation.

Why shouldn't it fit? I see no reason why it shouldn't fit on any vehicle with a towbar.

The main difference between the Thule EasyFold XT F 2 and the Thule EasyFold XT2 lies in the type of towbar and some specific features: ## towbar - The Thule EasyFold XT F 2 is specially designed for FIX4BIKE towbars, which are made by ORIS. This towbar uses two side bolts on the ball neck as a guiding and securing system, which makes assembly and fastening particularly easy and secure. - The Thule EasyFold XT2, on the other hand, is designed for standard towbars and is not specifically tailored to FIX4BIKE. ## Compatibility - The EasyFold XT F 2 is designed for specific vehicles and towbars thanks to the special FIX4BIKE coupling, while the EasyFold XT2 offers broader compatibility with various towbars. ## Other features - Both models share many user-friendly features such as the fully foldable construction, high loading capacity and the practical folding mechanism. however, the specific design for FIX4BIKE in the EasyFold XT F 2 makes it more tailored to those particular hitch systems. Overall, the EasyFold XT F 2 offers a specialised solution for users with FIX4BIKE hitches, while the EasyFold XT2 has a more general applicability.

I'm regretting it, but I don't know. But in fact, I've already had the bike rack fitted to several removable trailer hitches (Opel, Volkswagen) and it's always worked.

The Thule Easy Fold XT 3 is delivered fully assembled.

Not that I know of. There's no sign of it.

The bike trailer fits any towbar with a ball. But I don't quite understand what you mean by spare wheel adapter and New Defender. By New Defender do you mean the Land Rover vehicle model?

no unfortunately not

Also available for normal trailer coupling. It is a different model with a clamping bracket.

Hello yes indeed

The only difference is the colour, the black one has everything in black, the other one is in aluminium/black. I have the normal one and everything is included. As far as I know, the bag is only an accessory.
