    I'd go with a good(ish) receiver type trailer hitch rack, they are much more stable. If you can get at least a class 2 hitch installed, if not then I think I would find a decend roof rack. I've never been very keen on the strap-on truck mounts, just never wanted to hear the sound of my bike flopping on the highway.

    I'd agree here, but if you don't expect to do any towing nor carry more than a couple of bikes you can go with a 1 1/4" receiver. The hitch will be much less expensive (it's not as heavy duty) and it is still more than strong enough for a bike rack.

    If you don't want to go the hitch method, then I second the roof rack. I just don't like trunk racks, plus you can't use the trunk easily.
