Weird. I think "they have a boat!"

Nope, but we were thinking about getting one of the hard-shell external packing things for the roof. I don't know if we just pack like Diana Ross or what, but a recent trip to the beach took up all non-human space in the interior.

I have them on my jeeps. Mostly use it with a tray for going to the beach, etc. Reasonably easy to slide an attachment (bike rack, tray, ball receiver, etc.) in or out. If you are planning to tow a trailer, you'll want to also get a wiring harness.

This is a very new money / striver comment PP. Are you the first generation to go to college?

What? That’s crazy. You need a hitch for a bike rack.

I assume PP meant a ball hitch, used for boat trailers, camp trailers, and 4x4 trailers

I have a Mercedes with a trailer hitch. It’s to take our bikes to the beach.

Some vehicles you can easily install one yourself. They sell them on Amazon and its just a few bolts or take it to your mechanic. We got one on our new vehicle and its so much better for bikes.

Trailer hitches aren't dependent on make/model of vehicle. We have them on our truck, UTV, zero turn, and SUV. We use them for hauling horses/cattle/hay/straw and hauling equipment trailers or moving coops around (farmers). It shouldn't cost you more than $500 at u-haul type places to get one installed, I think our's were around the $250 range, but we are out in a rural-ish area, so YMMV. It should be two pieces, the actual hitch that is attached to your vehicle chassis, and the different attachments you will need for whatever you are hauling (some of our trailers are ball hitch bumper pulls, and others connect by pin).

They are easy to get off/on/change since the attachment connects to the hitch by a big metal pin.
