For a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, I would go with the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7369. This is a 2" receiver which can typically accommodate more accessories than a typical 1-1/4" receiver. Your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack for 1 Recumbent Delta or 1 Trike would fit this receiver without an issue.
The trailer hitch receiver offers a simple bolt-in installation process and requires no drilling. view full answer...
While the Fit Kit 5029 # TH145029 is designed to fit your non-glass roof on your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime, it is not compatible with the Rapid Traverse Feet. This is because the # TH145029 is designed to work with the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501.
To have a complete roof rack setup, you also need one of the following crossbar choices:
- Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH712400
- WingBar Evo - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711420 (black)
- WingBar Evo - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711400... view full answer...
The best tow dolly for a 2020 Toyota Prius Prime is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045. This tow dolly works great for low ground clearance vehicles and it has a compact storage for when not in use. It also has surge brakes so there's no need to wire up a brake controller. view full answer...
I checked with Thule just now and they confirmed that the Thule Hullavator Pro part # TH898 does fit on the WingBar Evo roof rack that fits your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145029. There would be plenty of crossbar overhang for it to fit and work great. view full answer...
I have a great roof rack that works for you. When you say that you do not have a sunroof, I am assuming you mean that you do not have a glass roof. In either case, the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1005 does not fit your 2019 Toyota Prius with a bare roof with or without a glass roof. We also do not carry any SportRack crossbars systems that are designed to fit your vehicle.
If you do not have a glass roof, I recommend the following roof rack system:
- Inno Square Crossbars - Steel... view full answer...
For your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime there's only one hitch available that would be able to handle a 4 bike rack like the Curt # C18030 that you referenced and it's the EcoHitch part # 306-X7369 since it's a 2 inch hitch. The other hitches are Class I 1-1/4 inch which are limited to 2 bike racks max.
This EcoHitch has a lower hitch opening that can be removed when not in use to give you a totally invisible look when not needed as well. view full answer...
I do have a solution for you, however there is not a trunk-mount bike rack available that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Its hatch construction and design prevents a secure fit with a trunk-mounted carrier.
Your best option for transporting bikes with your Prius Prime is with a trailer hitch and hitch-mounted rack. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966. This Class I hitch is confirmed... view full answer...
We offer one trailer hitch for your 2017 Prius Prime. It is the Curt # C11473. This is a Class l trailer hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per a note from Curt all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper is 7-inches so you want... view full answer...
We do offer a wide selection of roof bike racks that should work great with the Toyota crossbars on your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. Based on my research, it looks like the Toyota bars for your vehicle are aero style design and you will just want to make sure that the bike rack you choose will fit over their dimensions and crossbar spread.
I recommend looking at the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack # RRRBC050. This is a wheel mount carrier that will let you transport one bike without having... view full answer...
The frame cradles on the Thule Camber part # TH9058 do fit pretty tight to the arms of the rack but they are designed to be twisted and moved to best accommodate the bikes.
They are designed to fit tightly so that they don't move while your bike is loaded. view full answer...
The Draw Tite hitch part # 24966 that you referenced was carried over as a fit for your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime and would work well. It's currently a fit for the 2019 models as well. I attached a link to an install video for this hitch on a similar 2018 Prius for you to check out as well. view full answer...
If you are looking for replacement rear jacks for use with the Lippert Ground Control leveling system you'd want the part # LC344792 for the right rear leg and part # LC305339 for the rear left leg. view full answer...
I have a kayak transporting solution for you. You are absolutely correct in saying that the Toyota owner's manual for the 2018 Toyota Prius Prime does not recommend towing for your vehicle. With that being said, going against the manufacturers recommendations can be extremely dangerous and we here at etrailer strongly advise against it. It can also possibly void any warrantees you have on the vehicle.
However, there are definitely some safer options for transporting your kayaks. For that... view full answer...
For your 2017 Prius Prime I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. This hitch has a concealed cross tube which will help maintain a factory look, and a 200 lb maximum tongue weight for your accessories.
I see you also looked at the Curt # C11473. It is virtually identical when compared to the Draw-Tite. The reason I would choose the Draw-Tite over the Curt is because the Curt requires the use of the # 18050 stabilizer... view full answer...
It looks like the trailer hitch for your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is most likely a Class I hitch with a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. When choosing the best bike rack for your vehicle and bikes, we just need to make sure that it will be compatible with Class I hitches.
I recommend looking at the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683. This is a great platform-style rack that can carry 2 bikes of up to 45 pounds each and is Class I compatible. The sliding wheel cradles with ratcheting... view full answer...
Both the part # C56371 is fit for your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime.
The Curt kit uses it's converter box to interpret the other taillight functions to know when the brakes are being applied. Basically it's two different ways to accomplish the same thing. view full answer...
The Kuat Beta for 1-1/4 inch hitches part # B202-114 does not use a threaded hitch pin as an anti-rattle device. Instead it uses a knob at the base of the rack that tightens a wedge against the hitch tube to take out the movement.
Then for a hitch lock you'd want the part # HLT. view full answer...
You will want a roof rack mounted bike rack for your 2021 Prius Prime. The Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 is a great option for you if you want something relatively quick and easy to use.
The FrontLoader # Y02103 is a wheel mount bike carrier which means it will carry your bike as is without having to take the wheels off. Some like this option so that they don't have to deal with storing their wheel separately in their trunk or back seats. I recommend the FrontLoader over the very similar... view full answer...
Yes, the Draw Tite part # 24966 is the best hitch for the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime for carrying a bike rack since it has best clearance and doesn't require the strap like Curt does. I attached a link to the install instructions for you to check out as well.
I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll... view full answer...
