The factory Crossrails don't have enough room nor can they carry enough weight to reasonably handle four bikes. As such, I got the trailer hitch added onto our car by the dealer. That, and we've driven more than our fair share of nice bikes into the side of the house over the years.
I looked at the Thule/Yakima options, but after some research, I settled on the Kuat NV and the NV Add-on. Expensive, but rock solid and attractive. Rock heavy too unfortunately. But once dialed in on the back of the car, 4 bikes are carried securely with ease.
Drawbacks are that the back up alarm goes nuts. In addition, the rack has to come off the hitch to close the garage door. Did I mention that it is heavy?!
Here are a few photos. What options have the rest of you tried?
