Excursion.That's debatable! Many times our trips with bikes include visiting cities too. Utility trailers can be a total nightmare to park in larger/congested cities. Wouldn't you think a Tundra with a bed would be more suitable for this?

Meh!Excursion.
I never camp - I just don't think camping as fun or relaxing or make any sense at all. But we do carry bikes almost everywhere we go! If it was an occasional thing then a trailer may make sense. Plus, I don't have space to park a trailer.A full size truck is probably a good solution, you'd be able to fill the truck bed with a lot of gear and could probably throw the bikes over the tailgate or put a few on the hitch mounted rack.
My theory on towing my trailer with gear and/or sleeping setup inside is that I only do it occasionally; so while I found the full size trucks I've owned to be hard to park in congested cities in general, I only deal with the inconvenience occasionally with the trailer and get to choose when I'm inconvenienced and where
AKA I just don't go to congested places with my trailer, whereas with the full size truck I'd only have that as a vehicle.
Thank you sweet baby Jesus for saying this out loud.I never camp - I just don't think camping as fun or relaxing or make any sense at all.

I am also not a fan of full size pickup trucks because they are objectively worse off road, are much less maneuverable in congested areas and just excessive for my needs. I think a 6 bike carrier like this one would work if I was willing to "downgrade" to a mountain bike!

A friend says my cruisers with all the bikes on it reminds him of dongles sticking out of a mac because they removed all input ports
This is the road bike I ride everywhere, even when chasing my kids on single tracks!

I had the occasional crank but no start condition in addition to headlights randomly going out and the horn blaring for 3-4 seconds inexplicably while driving down the road. Replaced the main junction box in the engine bay and haven’t had a single issue since. Once I got the old one out, I found cracks on the underside of the box and some issues with two of the connectors.I am really hoping it isn't one of those electric gremlin type issue that can only be resolved by replacing the whole main fuse box. @JunkCrzr89 I seem to remember you replaced your fuse box not too long ago, what were your symptoms?
