The weight capacity for the Swagman Grid Lock part # S80310 is per bike cradle so you would not be able to carry a bike that weighs 40 lbs with this rack safely.
There are no trunk racks with a higher weight capacity than 35 lbs per bike at this time.
Only solution would be a hitch setup like the Draw Tite part # 24971 installed on your 2012 Toyota Prius c with a bike rack that has a higher capacity like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F which has a 60 lb per bike capacity. view full answer...
In order for you to carry a kayak on your 2012 Toyota Prius C you will need to install a roof rack.
I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack, parts # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351. The Rhino-Rack roof rack is designed to fit the naked roof of your Prius C. The rack itself has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. Check your owner's manual or with your dealer to find what the roof capacity of your Prius to make sure you do not overload the roof.
You then can use the Swagman Contour Rooftop... view full answer...
I checked the install instructions of the EcoHitch part # 306-X7194 that you mentioned and the size of wrench you'd need for the 3/8 inch bolts is 9/16 inch. view full answer...
The most economical way to haul two kayaks on a 2017 Toyota Prius C consists of a few parts. A roof rack, and a kayak solution.
The most bang for your buck in terms of roof racks is the Rhino-Rack 2500 kit, consisting of the following parts:
- 2500 Crossbars, part # RRVA106B-2
- 2500 Series Legs, part # RRRLKVA

The Kuat Sherpa Hitch Bike Rack, part # SH12B, you have referenced is one of our best selling hitch bike racks. It will fit Class I and Class II 1-1/4 inch hitches. It is made of lightweight, rustproof aluminum and folds up out of the way when not being used. It uses an adjustable hook that grabs the front tire to hold your bike in place, so it does not touch the frame of your Trek bike. I am including a link to a video review on the Kuat bike rack.

The 46 inch Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 (along with the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK351) are confirmed to fit your 2013 Toyota Prius c. Rhino-Rack suggests the shorter 41 inch bars # RRVA106B-2 for your Prius, which is why we have it listed this way, but the longer 46 inch bars will also work if you want a bit more overhang past the roof rack feet on your vehicle.

For your 2014 Toyota Prius c we have the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA106S-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351 as a confirmed fit that I would recommend highly. With the Rhino Rack roof racks you get the higher quality, ease of install, and lockability of the more expensive racks at a better price.

The Rola roof rack 59729 is designed to fit the Toyota Prius V but not the Prius c. We do have roof rack options that fit the Prius c. I have included a link to the main page for you.
The most economical option is Rhino-Rack roof rack made of crossbars # RRVA106B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and custom clamp kit # DK351.
As far as design is concerned the compatible rack that is closest to the Rola rack is made up of Yakima CoreBars # Y00421, with BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, front clips # Y06135,... view full answer...
In order to carry 2 bikes on your 2013 Toyota Prius c, one of which is a 57 pound electric bike, you will need to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The Saris Freedom, # SA4412B, is a hitch mounted bike rack, it is compatible with the available trailer hitches for your Prius c, and it has a 60 pound per bike capacity. All this makes it a great option for you.
For a trailer hitch use Curt hitch # C11484. This hitch can support up to 200 pounds suspended from the... view full answer...
I have a couple of options that will work for you. The safest way to carry two bikes on your 2014 Prius C, and my recommendation, is by hitch bike rack. This will require you to get a hitch receiver installed, but the rack will be bolted into your hitch receiver and not strapped to your vehicle.
The hitch receiver that I recommend is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2", part # 306-X7194. It has a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight... view full answer...
The pin holes of 1-1/4 inch hitches like the Curt # C11484 you have for your 2012 Toyota Prius c require a pins/locks that have a 1/2 inch diameter. So what you'd need instead would be the part # e98879 which has this pin diameter like you need. view full answer...
Since your 2017 Toyota Prius c only has Class 1, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches available - the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11484 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24971, you will need a Class I compatible rack capable of carrying a 50 lb bike; for that you'll need the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH23JV
This is a premium bike rack that offers a lot of quality-of-life features which make it very easy to use, particularly for installation in your hitch. The T2 tightens in... view full answer...
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7194 as you said has a 300 lb. tongue weight limit and a 2" receiver tube opening. With that in mind the Yakima RidgeBack 5 Bike Rack part # Y02459 will work out well. It weighs around 42 lbs. so you will be limited to carrying 158 lbs. of bikes at max. if your 2016 Prius C is rated for that.
You want to ensure not to exceed the 300 lbs. tongue weight capacity of your hitch or the maximin tongue weight limit of your Prius which can... view full answer...
The best solution we can offer you is a roof rack that fits your 2012 Toyota Prius C that does not require drilling like the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351. This is a much easier to install option that does not require permanent modification.
Drilling into your roof presents a few problems. Contacting electrical wires (which we do not know where they are) as well as opens up the potential for leaks. view full answer...
My personal recommendation is for the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs, # RR571. This carrier is equipped with felt pads on the rear cradles which allows one person to easily slide the kayak up and onto the roof from the rear of the vehicle. Included with this carrier are 2 tie-down straps with padded buckles, 1 set of bow/stern ropes, as well as built-in security hardware to deter theft.
Please keep in mind that your Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack with Aero Crossbars,... view full answer...
The Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, fits the regular 2013 Toyota Prius with the solar roof, but none of the other 2013 Prius models. There aren't any other locking racks options that will fit either but I do have a recommendation for you.
First, the Prii models have that rear spoiler piece at the top of the hatch. Because you do not want to put weight on that spoiler, nor is it designed to handle weight, you will want to use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2.
This rack has an additional... view full answer...
