Roof Rack and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Prius V
Question:
Im a little confused about what I need to buy. I have a Toyota Prius V. I want to put 2 bikes on a roof rack. This is for a family vacation this summer. We have a rear trunk rack, but it only holds 3 bikes and there are 4 of us. I was able to figure out which roof rack fits using your site, but I dont know where to go from there to get the bike attachments. Can you help?

You will need to start with a roof rack on your 2012 Toyota Prius V. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK195 is a confirmed fit that would work well.
Then for a wheel mounted bike rack that fits this rack and allows you to mount a bike without removing the front wheel we have the Yakima FrontLoader part # Y02103 that would work well.
I attached a review video for the rack for you to check out as well.
