The Curt Wiring harness # C56156 that you referenced has been designed and tested for use on a 2015 Toyota Prius V. It will work with your taillight configuration. It actually only uses the taillight circuits as signal wires and draws the power for the taillights from the vehicle battery. view full answer...
I have a solution for you, you need a rack that is made to fit 1-1/4" hitch receivers that are Class 1 like your Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24847 on your 2013 Prius. Other racks will not be compatible.
I have a couple really nice bike racks that I recommend for your current setup. You could look into the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH903202 which is one of the nicest carriers that would work for your receiver/vehicle. The... view full answer...
Ok, we can definitely get you set up to carry four bikes with your 2014 Toyota Prius v, and you are correct that in order to do that you will need a trailer hitch receiver and a hitch-mounted bike rack. First off, let's start with the hitch, and the one you will need is from EcoHitch:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192
The reason you will need this hitch is because it is the only hitch for your Prius v that has a 2 inch receiver; the other hitches for your Prius v are... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System for your 2015 Toyota Prius v that uses 49" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK195 would not work with the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115 as it requires a 15", 22", or 29" crossbar spread and this system has a 27-9/16" crossbar spread.
Instead I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket # Y07070 which... view full answer...
I have a roof rack solution that will work great on your 2016 Toyota Prius V, but there isn't a fit kit available that will convert your current Rola to fit the new Prius.
The Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRRS696B is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and would be a great option. I really like this rack because the bars don't go through the feet of the rack which gives it more of an OEM style look that will create less wind noise and resistance. Your best option with your current Rola would... view full answer...
Yes we have the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202 which fits the Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch size that you have and is designed to carry e-bikes like you have. This is actually only bike rack on market that can fit the Class I hitches like have on your Prius and it also happens to be one of the nicest. It folds up to make install and removal easier and also comes with a ramp to make loading and unloading easier. view full answer...
You need to get a 2 inch hitch receiver # 306-X7192 for your 2017 Toyota Prius V if you want to have enough capacity to carry your bikes if you don't go with the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. I've used this rack and the ramp really does help out a lot when loading your bikes up.
Honestly, the best bike rack for making installing the rack easiest is the Thule EasyFold because of it's size and wheels. This way you don't have to carry the bike rack to or from your hitch. It's lighter and... view full answer...
The most popular trailer hitch for your 2017 Toyota Prius V is Draw-Tite hitch # 24847. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver rated for 200 pounds tongue weight and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. If your Prius is rated for towing then the capacity should be in the owner's manual. If lower than the hitch capacity go by the lower rating.
The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # 3593. If your trailer takes a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256. If it takes a 2 inch... view full answer...
I do have a solution for you, however we do not currently have an adapter available that will convert a 4-Way flat on your vehicle to a European 7-Way connector. In order to convert the 4-Way to a European style 7-Way, you will just need to do a little hardwiring.
You will start with installing the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118610 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota Prius V. This is custom-fit for your vehicle and will connect to the built-in... view full answer...
The 2 inch hitches are only used on larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks. The lighter duty vehicles get the lighter duty 1-1/4 inch hitches. And there isn't a vehicle more lighter duty in terms of towing than a Prius.
The hitch you would want is the Draw Tite hitch part # 24847 which is a confirmed fit. I like the Draw Tite hitch better than the Curt because it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. view full answer...
The Thule K-Summit Tire Chains, part # TH02230K22, will fit the P215/45R17 tires on your 2010 Toyota Prius. This is an expensive option, but if you need a set of chains that will install easily, will provide great traction and offer you the best clearance possible since they do not go on the inside of the tire sidewall these are it.
If you are looking instead for an emergency set I would go with the part # TC1547 instead. These are still pretty easy to install and will give you excellent... view full answer...
For a trailer hitch for your 2017 Toyota Prius V the best choice is the Draw Tite part # 24847 as it is custom fit for your vehicle and has a great price. For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118610.
For a ball mount you would want the part # 3593 which is designed for the hitch and then for a 2 inch hitch ball you would want the part # 19258. view full answer...
The only time it would be advantageous to have ability to inflate the air bags of the Coil Rite # F4136 separately would be if you had an uneven load from left to right that you were trying to level out. For a union tee to allow you the ability to inflate both bags to same PSI you could easily use the part # F3105-1. view full answer...
For your 2016 Toyota Prius V with a spoiler the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 is a confirmed fit that would work well. This rack is specifically designed to fit over vehicles with spoilers like yours and has a 35 lb per bike capacity so it would work well.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame... view full answer...
Since the vehicle you have that has the 1-1/4 inch hitch on it is a Prius the hitch will be a Class I hitch and that means it can only carry up to 2 bikes. You can still carry your third bike on your roof, but at the hitch you can only carry 2.
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0, part # SH12G, is compatible with Class I hitches so it would be a great option for you. It attaches at only the wheels like you are interested in as well.
For a roof rack you would then want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2,... view full answer...
So the most reliable trailer wiring harness we offer for your 2015 Toyota Prius V is the Tekonsha part # 118610 which would be what I would recommend you go with, but what can cause premature trailer wiring failure is shorts on the trailer wiring which you'd have to go over the wiring of the trailer looking for any cut or exposed wire and fix as needed. The next thing to check for is to make sure the converter box of the harness is securely attached to the vehicle. If it's left loose and... view full answer...
We do have roof racks that would work well on your 2016 Toyota Prius V. An aero shaped crossbar would be the best solution for a Prius since they give the least wind resistance which translates into better fuel mileage and less wind noise.
For that the Rhino Rack Aero Bar rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK195 would be a great choice.
For your paddleboards the carrier part # TH810001 would be a great option as well. view full answer...
The most aerodynamic roof rack we have for your 2016 Toyota Prius V with a panoramic sun roof is the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack part # TH711400, # TH710501, and # TH145129 which is confirmed as a fit and has the most advance bar shape for the least amount of wind resistance and noise. These bars are made of aluminum as well. view full answer...
The best option we have for muti-purpose hitch adapters meaning towing with one and carrying an accessory with another is the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210. The reason for this is because it does not reduce tongue weight too severely (750 lbs). If you were to use something such as the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver part # MPG544, the weight capacity of the trailer hitch would be reduced by 50% and that would be cutting it too close. view full answer...
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH12G will work better for your 2014 Prius V simply because it will give you 11 inches between the hitch pin and the closest part of the rack compared to the Thule DoubleTrack # TH92BJ that will give you much less. It may not seem like much to have an extra clearance but when you consider the angles, that can make a big difference.
The Kuat Sherpa is powder coated so it will withstand the rainy wet climates. This rack weighs just 32 lbs so... view full answer...
