• Best Bike Rack for a Toyota Prius Prime with Draw-Tite Hitch Installed
• The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24966 is tucked under the bumper on your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime pretty far back, around 7". I do have a bike rack that will work but there very well may a rubbing issue with the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64670 due to the incline of the shank but we have not yet had a chance to test these two together to confirm this. I recommend the Hollywood Racks TRS 2-Bike Platform Rack part # HR3000 which has a straight shank...

• Hitch for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime that Can Carry 4 Bike Curt Bike Rack C18030
• 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.

• What Crossbars System do You Recommend for Transporting a Kayak on My 2019 Prius Prime?
• 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...

• Option for Carrying Spare Wheel/Tire with 2018 Toyota Prius Prime on Roof
• We do not have any hitch mounted spare tire carriers that will fit a Class I hitch like you have but we do have one option if you'd consider a roof rack mounted carrier. You can use the Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Cargo Baskets # Y07076 to secure a spare on a Yakima roof basket like the LoadWarrior part # Y07070. You'd need to install a roof rack on your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime like the Yakima CoreBar part # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06123, and # Y06169 which is a confirmed fit that gives...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
• Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # 24966. This Class I hitch is confirmed to fit your Prius Prime and features a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. I recommend this model over the Curt alternative that is also confirmed to fit your vehicle because unlike Curt, Draw-Tite does not require the use of additional stabilizing straps when using bike racks and cargo carriers. These straps can be a bit...

• What Kayak Carrier do You Recommend for My 2018 Toyota Prius Prime?
• 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...

• How to Transport Bikes with 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
• 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...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Prius Prime for Carrying Cargo Carrier
• There are some hitch brands that make 2 inch hitches for lighter duty vehicles like your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime but in general the smaller hitch size of 1-1/4 inch is what's used on lighter duty vehicles likes yours. For that I'd recommend the Draw Tite part # 24966 since you plan on carrying a cargo carrier. Unlike the Curt this does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load. Since hitch adapters cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent I'd strongly...

• How to Tow a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Behind a Motorhome
• I do have an option for you but I am not aware of any manufacturers who make flat-towing components for a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime because according to the owner's manual (page 323), it cannot be towed behind a motorhome with all four wheels on the ground because of the CVT transmission. It must be towed with the front two wheels off of the ground using a tow dolly. I will say that tow dollies do not create as much wear and tear on the vehicle and they also require far less modifications,...

• Reccommended Roof Bike Rack for 2021 Toyota Prius Prime
• 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...

• Draw-Tite vs. Curt for Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Prius Prime
• 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...

• Recommended Roof Mounted Bike Carrier for Factory Roof Rack on 2020 Toyota Prius Prime
• Although it's a pretty good entry-level roof mount bike rack, The # S64710 Fork Down bike rack wouldn't be a fit around the crossbars you specified. If you choose a rack at a slightly higher price point, you'll find that they attach to the roof rack via the top channels or grooves in the crossbar. The Inno # INXA391 Fork Lock would attach in this manner, so it won't matter how wide the crossbar is. The rack is compatible with bikes with a 9mm quick release skewer and will work with bikes...

• 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...
