We test drove to our house to put the bikes in luckily we live close the dealership.

FWIW, I have a 2009 Escape. It will hold my 54cm and my husband's 58cm 'cross bikes inside with the back seats down. We can't bring ourselves to put both carbon road bikes inside together though. Don't want to scratch up the pain
We have a Yakima rack that goes on the back, though I'd eventually like to get a hitch mount rack.
