As long as you do not exceed the weight capacity for the bike rack the spoiler of your 2012 Toyota Prius V should have no problem supporting the weight of your bikes when using the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT. However, you should note that a lot of the weight of the carrier will be on the bottom feet of the carrier. It would not just be the spoiler bearing all of the weight of the rack and bikes.

Your 2012 Toyota Prius v can absolutely have a trailer hitch installed. I can't speak for U-Haul but we have a number of different trailer hitches that fit your '12 Prius v.
The best option, if you want the cleanest look, is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192.
That's because this hitch is completely hidden so the crosstube does not show, and it is also the only hitch for your vehicle that has a 2 inch receiver. That is important because a larger receiver means many,... view full answer...
Yes, I checked with Yakima just now and they have confirmed the fit of the Fullback part # Y02634 on your 2012 Toyota Prius V with a spoiler. I attached a picture that shows the rack installed on a V just like yours with a spoiler.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached... view full answer...
If your Prius V has the 205/60-16 tires, the Glacier Chains # PW1034 is a confirmed fit. If you have the 215/50-17 tires, you'd want to use the # PW1038 which is a confirmed fit.
Be sure to consult your owner's manual and abide by any recommendations Toyota has regarding tire chain use. If you click the provided links, you can view a video showing how the chains install and some helpful FAQ articles about tire chains. view full answer...
Unfortunately, there is not a way to transfer that roof rack from a 2015 Honda Fit to a 2012 Toyota Prius V with a naked roof. I reached out to the manufacturer to verify this. That foot pack will not fit the Prius and there is not a foot pack compatible with both those crossbars and the Prius.
If you are wanting a roof rack for your 2012 Toyota Prius V with naked roof, you will need to get a complete new roof rack.

I checked with every rack manufacturer and there are zero roof racks that fit your 2012 Toyota Prius v with a moonroof, so in order to carry cargo, you'll need a trailer hitch receiver, cargo carrier, and cargo bag. For a large cargo carrier you'll need a 2" hitch, and the only option for that is one from EcoHitch, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192.
This will allow you to use a 24" x 60" cargo carrier - the largest available - the Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches... view full answer...
While we have a Class III hitch that fits your 2013 Toyota Prius V with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7192 the Curt # C13900 does not fit your vehicle. view full answer...
We have not had a chance to install the Class I Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24967 but we were able to install the Draw-Tite on a 2016. The ground clearance with the hitch installed on the 2016 was 12-1/4" which will most likely be the same on your 2014 Prius V give or take if there is a tire size variance. Please keep in mind the Class I hitch is only capable of towing 200 lbs tongue weight.
You will need a ball mount with at least a 1-3/4" rise if you install the... view full answer...
The 2013 Toyota Prius V can come with either of two stock tire sizes, 205/60-16 or 215/50-17. The larger size tire 215/50-17 is 8-1/2-inches wide. A 235 size tire is 9-1/4-inches wide and this wide a tire could potentially cause interference issues with brake lines and other vehicle components within the wheel well. I reviewed an online version of the owner's manual for the car and it has no information about using larger tires than the two sizes noted above so I would not attempt to use... view full answer...
The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style, part # S64650 has a center mast that has hooks that slide up and down so that they can secure bike frames of different shapes and height.
You should have no problem at all carrying women's bikes with this carrier. You can use an adaptor like part # 64005. The adaptor attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and provides a level attach point if you prefer. view full answer...
To turn your 2013 Toyota Prius V's 4-way wiring harness into a 5-way you will need the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat item # C57187. It will include an extra wire and everything needed to power a back up light. This is the only option available without manually wiring one to your vehicle using item # C58545.
I have linked an installation video below. view full answer...
That's a good question so I checked with Yakima about how to mount your King Cobra bike rack to your new Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425.
What I found out was that there is no way for the King Cobra to use the T-slots in the crossbars, which means if you want to use this rack you will need MightyMounts, and the correct part is the Mighty Mount 39H Accessory Adapter for Yakima CoreBar and JetStream Crossbars # Y03539. view full answer...
I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, even though the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet TH400XT feet are compatible with your 2012 Toyota Prius V, I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the fit kit 2124 and older-style crossbars LB50 that are needed for the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet # TH400XT on your vehicle are discontinued. The reason why the newer squarebars will not work with the Thule Aero Feet is because the older bars have channels in them that were designed to... view full answer...
Yes, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 24967 does fit your 2014 Toyota Prius V. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Prius V with included hardware.
If you plan on towing you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118610.
For a ball mount you'd need the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. view full answer...

Thanks for the photo and there is absolutely a hitch you can install on your 2012 Toyota Prius v, the
EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7192, which will allow you to use your Thule bike rack with a 2" shank. This is the only hitch that fits your '12 Prius v with a 2" hitch receiver so it will be exactly what you need to carry your rack.
The EcoHitch is different than other hitches in that it is made of a recycled alloy combining stainless steel, steel, and aluminum. It will also bolt... view full answer...
You sure can; the correct fit kit for your 2013 Toyota Prius v for an Inno roof rack is the following:
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet # INK870 view full answer...
Since the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192 is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver you most certainly can use it with the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR to carry your two 50 lb bikes. I attached a review video of the EcoHitch for you. EcoHitch set the difficulty for this installation at a 9 out of 10 so if you aren't very comfortable with working on vehicles then you would want to take it to your local shop to have them perform the installation.
