I drive both a Chevy S-10 and a '96 Toyota Camry. I equiped each of the vehicles with hitches from U-Haul at a very economical price. I then purchased a Hollywood Recumbent rack and have been using it on both vehicles with very satisfactory results.

You can find a wealth of information on BROL (bentrideronline) that covers roof rack, hitch rack, and small trailer solutions for transporting various sizes and styles of recumbent bikes and trikes.
As I recall, the vehicle width code for NYS states that the load needs to be less that 8.5 feet in width so your options are several including hitch racks, roof racks, trunk racks, and trailers. Codes do vary from state to state though, so some research would be suggested prior to any inter-state road trips.
Here's my Tour Easy on the back of my S-10. It barely extends out past my mirrors and you won't find too many bikes that are longer than a M/L Tour Easy. By the way, if you have not yet shopped at The Bicycleman in Alfred NY you should most definately check his shop out before you make your bicycle purchases. You won't be sorry. You can also research him on BROL.
Good Hunting !!
