This could be done now to the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT, but these are too ugly.
I have a Gitane which sits neatly on a receiver behind a Jeep Wrangler. The maximum width of any load here is 2.5metres, the bike is 2.3metres long. Next, the load can't exceed more than 150mm beyond the vehicle (not including rear view mirrors). When measuring from the Jeep's flared guards to the ends of the bike its 140mm so the Gitane / Wrangler arrangement is legal, thankfully!
