What is the best way to carry (4) bikes on a chrysler 300 touring. Tow hitch or roof rack. I have a moon roof?

Personally, I'd go with a roof rack, I would expect the capacity to be greater, it shouldn't interfere with the operation of the sun roof and a tow hitch rack will stick out pretty far with 4 bikes.

Also, the tow hitch rack will make getting to the trunk more difficult and interfere with loading and unloading. Attaching the bikes though will be easier with the tow rack (lower, don't have to lift them up.

I'm not an expert by any means, but just from what I've seen, those are some of the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Well a lot of people put them at the back bec of obvious reasons such as the aerodynamics but I might put them on a roof rack but be sure you tie them down well and you can always bring a foot stand to reach up there too.

Hope that helps and best of luck.

I will prefer tow hitch. I don鈥檛 like to carry bicycles that high and still have the risk to break you moon roof.
