jaylael Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) I have been using a Toyota Previa 1991, for a trials bike hauler about six months on. The rear door opening height is just low enough to require you use a tie down to compress to forks. The grab handles for human passengers are placed well enough to use for securing a bike, however I hope to install some better tie down loops as time goes on. Another concern is poking out one of the windows with a handlebar end or lever. My solution for that is to use a "ladder mitt". These are designed to prevent a ladder from scratching someones house paint or siding when leaning a ladder against a wall, and are available at hardware stores. I also have had better luck turning the front wheel towards the outside. (left for the left bike) and positioning the handlebar end at the support post between the side windows. I've enclosed a photo of my Previa with a bike inside just for grins. Edited March 1, 2008 by JayLael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
