In this case, it was for display. For a road trip? No, you'd need more space for 5 adults and gear unless you packed light and only brought riding gear - no cooler, etc. For a shuttle, I have done 4 riders many times. If you were a family of 5, you could easily make that work, given that several bikes would be smaller and lighter. Yes, there is a load leverage issue, but remember that if you have 5 full-sized bikes, you'd also have 5 adults to provide counterbalance, so other than riding low, you wouldn't have a front end issue as far as being unweighted. Also that Alltrack is not light - curb weight is 3300 lbs.
