Tandem owners: what vehicle do you use to transport?

Truth!

At the moment it's 8' of living room decor.

In the past, we carried our tandem in the bed of an F100 with an 8 foot bed. We also spent 6 weeks carrying the tandem cross ways along with two singles and camping gear in a Ford Ranger with a camper top. We also used a Ford Explorer with a Thule roof rack that grabbed the fork and rear quick release.

As others have noted, the best answer to bike hauling inside a vehicle is always a minivan. My family had three Chrysler minivans over the years. Surprisingly reliable, comfortable, easy to work on, and swallowed tandems nicely. I attached two fork mounts to a plank. With the front wheel removed and one of the middle seats stowed, the tandem fit easily.

With the wheels off, our tandem fits into my Subaru Outback. It also fits into my girlfriend's Lexus RX350L, but that model is no longer in production.
