I looked at one before buying my last car. No roll down rear windows was the deal breaker

See your bike fit. https://bikefitr.appspot.com/

well shit, that sucks. I fell hook, line , and sinker. Oh, well, it's a new Honda Crv for me; great for my tribike.

are you talking a full size pickup or colorado, tacoma size?

Prob a full size, the bikes won't fit as well in the back of a compact pickup.

I would fight you for first in line if that were true, but it's a long running hoax. Here's a different source than the one I quoted above.

I have nothing of value to add other than to comment that used truck prices are insane right now.

by insane you mean insanely high?

Yes, used truck prices are exceptionally high. Used cars in general, especially.

If you want a light duty truck. The ram trx is the best. The raptor is a nice second. The f150 or ram 1500 is a nice “car” with a bed.

If you want a real truck. Go 350/3500 depending on your preferred brand.

I'm not 100 percent on anything yet. But definitely not used

Minivan or van is going to be your best bet.

If you're dead set on AWD/4WD, the Toyota Sienna comes in AWD. Otherwise a Honda Odyssey, Dodge Grand Caravan, etc. would all work with a set of good winter tires.

The other option would be go for a 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter or AWD Ford Transit, or something similar.

Audi Sportback

Any chance you could post a photo? I'm in the market for a new car to replace my 2005 Xterra workhorse, and one of the requirements is the car's ability to transport my upright bike inside. I've looked at Outbacks on the road and wondered if they might work. Would love to see how you fit your bike inside.
