First thing you will need to do is check the owners manual of your 2013 Prius to see if there are any restrictions on snow chain usage.
If you determine that snow chains can be used the best recommendation I could make would be the Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains # TH04115080 that you referenced. These will last a long time and are the easiest chain around to install.
For more of an infrequent use chain I would go with the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC1535. These... view full answer...
We do offer several roof racks for you but the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs, part # SR1002 is not designed to fit your 2006 Toyota Prius
I recommend The Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack. This roof rack system has black lightweight aluminum crossbars and the legs include locks in the leg covers that help keep the rack secure on your roof. To order this system you will need parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK079.
You will want to check your owner's manual or with... view full answer...
The Kuat NV 2.0 Base part # BA12B that you referenced is an excellent bike rack for your 2018 Toyota Prius that has a hitch installed on it like the Draw Tite part # 24966. This is basically the nicest bike rack you can find and it works great on lighter duty vehicles like yours so if you are considering it at all I'd highly recommend it. Overall build quality is top-notch and the ease of use is also very good. It's a platform bike rack too which is easier to load/unload and provides a... view full answer...
Unfortunately the design of the Prius rear end does not allow the rear wiper use when a trunk-mount bike carrier is installed.
If you decide on a trunk-mount rack anyway I recommend a carrier like the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. This carrier has the patented FitDial system that ensures a great fit on the back of your Prius. It also includes a locking system to secure the bikes to the rack and a the rack to the vehicle.
Another option is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch-mounted... view full answer...
Since Thule and Yakima roof racks are premium options with similar pricing I recommend going with the Inno roof rack for your 2013 Toyota Prius since pricing is a factor for you. Even though Inno is at a lower price point it still has great quality that I know you'll be happy with:
51" and 54" Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-138
Through Feet - # INXS250
Fit Kit - # INK865
48" Fairing - # INA262
The nice thing about the Inno crossbars is that you can definitely upgrade them so that they are... view full answer...
As far as whether or not you can tow a trailer with your 2014 Toyota Prius you will need to check the owners manual or with a Toyota dealer for the final say on that. Our understanding is that Toyota says that you cannot tow at all with your vehicle.
With that being said we realize that some people still tow trailers with vehicles that are not recommended for towing and we do offer the parts needed for your vehicle to tow a trailer.
The Draw-Tite part # 24847 would be the hitch to use.... view full answer...
The Inno aero roof rack that you are referring to includes InnoAero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 51" Long and 54" Long # INXB130-138, Inno Through Feet # INXS250, and Custom Fit Kit # INK865. This system is indeed locking; it secures the roof rack to your vehicle's roof and also secures any track-mounted accessories to the crossbars. The track-mounted accessories simply slide into the integrated T-slot track on top of the crossbars.
The weight capacity for this system is 140lbs, but... view full answer...
If your motorhome has a round 7-way with flat, blade-style pins on the inside of the connector you should have combined signals on this connector. Your motorhome may have separate circuit lights, but 99.9 percent of 7-way trailer connectors are wired for combined tail light circuits so I would be very surprised if yours did as well.
You could verify this with a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 to verify the circuits while a buddy applies the different stop and turns signals from... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and all of their rooftop cargo boxes would fit the factory bars of a 2012 Toyota Prius and a 2011 Chevy Tahoe.
The Thule Force Xl part # TH6358B would be a great choice for both vehicles.
Instead of the OEM rack for the Prius you could also install a Thule square bar rack that consists of part numbers # TH712100, # TH710501, and # TH145001. This rack should be less expensive that the OEM option. view full answer...
I believe I have a solution for you, but it will require you to install trailer wiring on your 2010 Toyota Prius.
For trailer wiring you will want the Tow Ready wiring harness part # 118505. This will give you a 4-way with a running light circuit that you could use to power a light for the license plate that would only come on when your headlights are on.
You will then have to mount a lighted license plate bracket on your cargo carrier like the part # LPL55CB. You will run the black... view full answer...
We do have a hitch for your 2011 Toyota Prius that has a 2 inch opening with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7178 which would work great but you need to be sure not to exceed the tongue weight capacity of this hitch which is 300 lbs and the capacity of your vehicle. view full answer...
Happy to help and let's start with a trailer hitch for your 2016 Toyota Prius; the best option for that is going to be the Draw-Tite # 24966 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. This is a bolt-on installation with no drilling into your Prius' frame required so any local mechanic should be able to install the hitch without trouble. Additionally, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of your bumper is going to be about 3" with the hitch installed, giving... view full answer...
The available trailer hitches for your 2019 Toyota Prius, the Curt # C11473 and the Draw-Tite # 24966, are both Class I hitches. As you mentioned in your question, a Class I hitch can only safely handle up to 2 bikes when using a rack. This has more to do with the leverage of an additional bike further out from the rear of the vehicle and hitch than with the actual added weight.
Because of this, your best option for transporting 3 bikes is indeed with the trunk-mounted Yakima FullBack... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV is confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Prius. The biggest limiting factor for whether or not you could carry your tandem bike plus your 2 other bikes will be the weight of your bikes and the length of your tandem bike.
The weight limit for this rack is 99 pounds, which I believe you would pretty easily exceed with your tandem bike plus your other two bikes.
What you could do is put your two bikes on the # TH56BV, and then... view full answer...

Thule makes a great product, either of those racks would be a great choice. This being said, I like the Apex XT # TH9024XT. It has fully adjustable anti-sway cradles, a built in cable lock and a tool free anti-rattle locking hitch pin system.
Have you looked at the Kuat Beta, part # B202-114? If light weight is what you're looking for, this is the rack. Out of the box, this all-aluminum rack weighs only 12.6 lbs. This rack lacks some of the upgraded features... view full answer...
Your 2012 Toyota Prius can handle the weight of a bike rack and the weight of your e-bikes.
There is one e-bike rack that was designed for the lighter duty vehicles like your 2012 Toyota Prius that will you'll really like with the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. This fits Class I hitches like what your 2012 Toyota Prius has available like the Draw Tite part # 24847, is designed for the heavier e-bikes as it has a 65 lb per bike capacity, and also has a ramp built into it which makes loading... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks - 2 Heavy-Duty Crossbars - Black - 65" Long # Y01-140B-NT require tracks like the Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01126. These types of tracks do require drilling.
For a roof rack that completely avoids drilling and will fit your vehicle, I recommend the following parts:
- Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # Y00422
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked... view full answer...
For your question, I am assuming you are looking for a roof rack setup on your 2013 Toyota Prius with a naked roof. For a great recommendation that will give you the highest weight capacity for your roof, I suggest the following parts:
- Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" # INB127
- Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black # INSUT
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet # INK865
With this setup, you will get up to 140 pounds of maximum... view full answer...
Not really; the Wedge is...fine...but I don't think it's a particularly good value. It only gives you 11 cubic feet of cargo space, has a mediocre 110 lb weight capacity, and weighs a hefty (for its size) 42 lbs. The only thing the Wedge offers is it isn't very tall.
For something in the same price range that offers a much better value I highly recommend going with one from Thule, either a full-sized box with 16 cubic feet of cargo space or a slimmer option like the Wedge, with 11 cubic... view full answer...
It depends on the style of bike you have, but if you have a road bike with pretty narrow handlebars there is a very strong possibility you would be able to open the hatch of your 2012 Toyota Prius with the Swagman XTC-2 and bikes installed.
If you have a bike with wider handlebars a bike rack that can tilt with bikes installed on it would give you a better shot at opening the hatch with bikes attached. Check out the Swagman Semi 2.0 part # S64686. I attached a video that shows it can tilt... view full answer...
