Lets see Thule Gear I have,
the ranger is basic, just have my 4 bike T2 I have a hitch under my tool box and the receiver so it moves around depending if I am towing.
My Explorer is set up with a flat top 6, a sidearm and another T2 I will have to get some pictures of it. just need to get some 450 crossroads and load bars for it the factory bars have trouble with the wight loaded up.
Or if I throw both T2s on the ranger I can do 8 bikes with ease.
