Can you make an aluminum one to save weight while not towing?I'm taking my car in to Torklift Central later this week so they can design a hitch for the car. I'll pick it up on Saturday, and let you know what they say about general availability.

Hopefully someone will offer something more substantial, if possible. I need something that can handle towing at least a couple thousand pounds for it to be of any use to me, including power connection for trailer lights.
+1 - If I am simply going to carry a bike or two, I would get a roof rack in the hardpoints. No use for me if I can't lug my daughters' stuff back and forth from college in the trailer.
As a die hard roof rack fan I generally would agree. But there will be a very significant range hit with bikes on the roof versus on a hitch rack.

That claim may merit a controlled study.
Done it on many cycling trips. Roof racks with bikes are giant sails, and not the good kind.That claim may merit a controlled study.
I would argue the opposite, if you aren't forgetful, getting rear ended is much more common that hitting a garage or other overhang. And I know someone who fell asleep and drove into a median with a hitch rack. All 4 bikes were totaled when they caught the ground. Not to mention I think bikes get many more minor scratches from hitch racks. Just my experience with them.It's been proven many times in the Prius forum that a hitch mounted rack is far better than a roof rack for aerodynamics (as well as for preventing damage to the bicycles--far too many forget they are there and drive into the garage with unfortunate results). There is no reason to suspect the Model S would be any different.
