Yeah I’m not a big fan of hailing a trailer unless I have to.
If I’m just going myself to the local track I’ll throw in in the trunk of the SUV (Volvo XC90). I bought a tow bar based bike rack to try, but that that particular car got written off in March
I’ve done the roof of cars and trunk of wagons. Then when traveling with the team up this was we’d have 6-8 karts in the trailer.
I have a Nissan Titan truck that does the job. It has a bed topper, which i usually remove, and a bed extender, so the short 5’6 bed still fits my 73.5" kart. I do own a large 24’ enclosed trailer that I use once in a while, but I generally prefer the convenience of the truck.
My ideal choice of transport involves using my prius without a trailer. I’m still figuring that out. 7/10 times, I’m solo both during the loading/unloading and when I get to the track (thank goodness for kartlift pro). So rooftop is a no go for me. I’ll take some pics and update this post.
2" hitch + aluminum kart carrier + airbags suspension to level out rear and I might have something. Kart weighs 200lbs empty right now though, so that + carrier exceeds the tongue weight limit of hitch. Plus I would preferably add a riser to get it up, but will likely weld to the carrier.
Possibly. Avoiding extensive modifications to the car at this time. Will likely trade in for a 2016 Prius in a year or 2. And this is just a “wish”, as I have multiple transport options right now. 45mpg with 200lb carrier load is extremely appealing though.
