Well, originally I had a roof rack, but the day I received it, someone broke my window and stole it out of the back seat (I hadn't taken it out of the box yet - I was trying to have patience and wait til I got home that night!). I ended up with the in-bed Yakima rack (Ford branded), with which I could haul 3 bikes. The bed or top of the roof thing is fine, but there is alot of peace of mind having your bike inside a vehicle, especially when you are talking a bike that is worth a chunk of change.
