Thanks for the input... I'd definitely consider a hitch mounted rack, so I could swap it between vehicles. Plus, I could see myself forgetting about the bike atop my vehicle and doing something stupid like trying to park inside the garage.tombo_m6 said:I'd recommend adding a hitch. I think mine was about $200 and it's easy to install.
I mountain bike regularly and had a rack on top of my WRX and after switching to a hitch mounted rack on the tribeca, i would never go back. It's so much easier. I would hate having to put a bike on top of a tribeca too, especially if you need to put a bike in the middle.
I've got a yakima rack that swings out, so I still have access to the hatch. Also if you get a yakima rack that swings you need a 2" reciever. The factory one is smaller --> 1 3/4"?
Only downside to the hitch mount rack is there is a weight limit and it would be pretty tricky to get 4 mtn bikes on it.
