Do you have a source for your assertion that the FT86's roof shouldn't hold a rack with a couple bikes or small cargo carrier?

I couldn't agree with you more. Dunno what you paid for yours, but a new Titan has an MSRP of $32k-$40k, weighs ~5000-5500 lbs, and is rated for 12/17-13/18 MPG (depending on drivetrain).

For those of us that just want to carry a couple bicycles or an extra 50 lbs of gear, that's not the right tool for the job (too expensive and excessive).

Nice truck though.
