Some of them block the lift gate. Do you feel like the roof is too far to reach? There's room for four there too.
This is not a very big vehicle to carry six people and all their stuff. You can also use that hitch to haul a trailer. If that's the plan anyhow you can put a roof rack on a Coleman style pop up
My husband is tall and stronger than I am, so the roof wouldn’t be an issue when it is the 6 of us. During the times when it is just me and our children, putting a bike on the roof of our vehicle would be difficult for me. I am a petite woman.
Is there a trailer size that you would suggest?
