  • Can you Attach a Class 2 Accessory on a Class I Hitch?
  • The difference between a class 1 1-1/4 inch hitch and a class 2 1-1/4 inch hitch is that the class 2 has about 350 pounds of maximum tongue weight (as opposed to the class 1's 200 pounds). Some class I hitches have a stop tab inside that blocks class 2 accessories. That being said, the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64683 will fit the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24967 since the Chinook is also rated to fit 1-1/4 inch class 1 trailer hitches.

  • Parts Needed to Install Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack on 2012 Toyota Prius
  • Pretty recently Yakima totally redesigned their round bar roof racks with new feet which means that all new fit kits had to be created and they phased out the old fit kits like you'd need since you have a Q-tower setup. So the best solution we have to allow you to install a roof rack with your current round bars # Y00409 will be with the part numbers # Y00146, # Y03536, and # Y06117.

  • Is There a 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Available for a 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-In
  • I have a trailer hitch receiver option for you, but unfortunately the only hitch available for your 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is the Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11276. a lot of smaller cars, like your Prius Plu-In, cannot handle heavier weight capacities and so a lot of times they only have a 1-1/4 inch hitch available. The warranty that Curt has on the hitch states that for any non-trailer loads, like a bike rack or cargo carrier, you must use a Support Strap # 18050,...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid
  • The Curt hitch part # C11276 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Toyota Prius Plug In and would do a great job to carry a bike rack. The only other solution I might recommend instead for your vehicle is the Draw Tite part # 24967 since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which gives a more concealed look and also gives better ground clearance. While we don't carry the Allen bike rack you mentioned it's not a terrible choice. For a similar priced bike rack...

  • Recommended 4-Way Wiring Harness for 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid
  • I do have a solution, but unfortunately there is no custom fit vehicle wiring harness for the 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid. Instead, you will need to use a universal wiring harness like the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This wiring harness uses zero-contact interface sensors to identify the current flowing through each wire so no cutting or splicing is required. I recommend this for your plug-in hybrid to avoid interfering with the electrical system...

  • Anti-Rattle Device for Kuat Bike Rack Used in Curt 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • The easiest solution for getting rid of hitch movement with a 1-1/4 inch hitch accessory is with a U-bolt style anti-rattle like the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch part # RM-061-125. This will hold your hitch adapter tight and the anti-rattle of your Kuat bike rack will hold it tight to the adapter.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for Towing a Trailer with a 2013 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid
  • Thanks for reaching out! The wiring I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118505 which tees in behind your tail lights and then pulls power directly from your battery with the included power wire. This means that your regular vehicle lighting will be really well protected. If you don't already have a trailer hitch then we have 2 options that I recommend looking at; the Draw-Tite # 24967 and the EcoHitch # 306-X7178. These have hidden...
