Hitch and Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Prius Plug In
Question:
Id like to get a hitch for my 2013 Plug in Prius and buy a bike rack at the same time. I am fine with either 1.25 or 2inch receiver. Is there a rack plus hitch combo that you recommend?

Expert Reply:
For your 2013 Toyota Prius Plug In the EcoHitch 2 inch hitch part # 306-X7178 is a fit and would be a great option for carrying a bike rack. Then for a bike rack the Kuat Transfer 3 bike rack part KU24FR would work great if you were looking for a lighter weight and minimalist 3 bike platform rack. Or for a 2 bike version part # KU84FR. Both of these were designed for the 2 inch hitch size.
The EcoHitch is a really great option as it is the more popular 2 inch hitch size and also is mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper.
