Serious question, but I don't know where to post it (and don't want to annoy the moderators.) I hope it hasn't already been posted in an obscure corner of the site that I've not yet uncovered.
We're kayakers and will want to use the new LEAF to haul our two boats, as well as the occasional bicycle. Does anyone know:
a) Will the LEAF be able to tow a small trailer? It seems the aerodynamically smooth undercarriage will make for slim pickings regarding attachment points, even if it *is* OK to pull the couple hundred pounds of trailer and gear.
or
b) Is using a roof rack a reasonable alternative? I'm sure Yakima and Thule will develop something in short order, so I wonder if there's an existing vehicle, for which the aftermarket folks have already designed a rack, which has a similar roof configuration to the LEAF. My only experience is with vehicles having either gutters or factory racks/rails.
Thanks,
Glenn
