Here is my point of view about these two options.
Roof :
. Air drag : direct impact on fuel consumption
. High is the air : Girlfriend not able to reach the bikes. Risk of scratching the roof.
. Clearance : take care while entering parking lots etc. Easy to forget!
. wind noise : keep the moonroof closed.
. Bugs : bikes get covered with stains of crashed bugs
Hitch:
. Access to the truck
. Mountain bikes with non triangular shape of frame may be trikky for traditionnal hitch support. Requires a plateform type of support.
There are certainely some aspects I am forgetting...
Now, it is up to you to choose. Good luck,
Francois
