What you described sounds like a weak ground circuit for the taillights that aren't able to illuminate all the way. The Curt trailer wiring harness # C56371 that you referenced is capable of putting out 6 amps on the running light circuit so it would not be the harness unable to provide the amperage needed. Typically when this issue occurs it's that the taillight assemblies are not grounded properly or the main ground of the trailer's wiring isn't attached to a clean metal surface. view full answer...
For a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, I would go with the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7369. This is a 2" receiver which can typically accommodate more accessories than a typical 1-1/4" receiver. Your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack for 1 Recumbent Delta or 1 Trike would fit this receiver without an issue.
The trailer hitch receiver offers a simple bolt-in installation process and requires no drilling. view full answer...
Yes, the two will indeed work together on your 2020 Toyota Prius Prime. The Curt hitch will measure approximately 7 inches from the hitch pin hole to the bumper, and the SuperClamp measures 8-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack. The part numbers for the Curt hitch that fits your '20 Prius Prime, and the SuperClamp, are the following:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11473
- Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack # SA4025F
As far as capacities go, you're good there... view full answer...
I have a great solution to carry a bike rack with your 2020 Toyota Prius Prime but none of our trunk mounted bike rack manufacturers have options for the Prime models. So you'd want to install a hitch like the # 24966 so that you can use a hitch mounted bike rack. Hitch racks are the best option overall. They are the most secure, easiest to load, and don't touch the vehicle paint so they don't risk damage to it.
Once the hitch is installed the bike rack I'd recommend the Thule DoubleTrack... view full answer...
The Aries Seat Defender has a cloth material that you sit on which also has a thermoplastic rubber underside to help keep the cover in place. Since everyone reacts to different materials different ways there really is no gauge to determine how well it will help to prevent a passenger from sweating.
If you are asking how well it holds up to sweat, again, there is no measurement, however, since they are spill resistant you shouldn't have anything to worry about as long as you take care of... view full answer...
Installation is going to play a big part as to how bug proof the seam between the Rightline Gear SUV Tent, # RL110907, and the vehicle are going to be. When setting up the tent you will want to follow the instructions and make sure that all straps are snug. This will keep the vast majority of those pesky bugs away. view full answer...
For your 2017 Prius Prime I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. This hitch has a concealed cross tube which will help maintain a factory look, and a 200 lb maximum tongue weight for your accessories.
I see you also looked at the Curt # C11473. It is virtually identical when compared to the Draw-Tite. The reason I would choose the Draw-Tite over the Curt is because the Curt requires the use of the # 18050 stabilizer... view full answer...
We had a customer submit a photo of their EcoHitch part # 306-X7369 installed on their 2018 Toyota Prius Prime which I attached to this page and in it you can see that the hitch opening is basically flush with the rear of the vehicle. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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,... view full answer...
The nice thing about the Kuat Sherpa 2 # SH12G is it has no center mast. So there will be less visual interference with your rear window. It will all come down to the bikes. The bikes are going to sit around 4 inches higher than your hitch receiver so you can get an idea of how much they will block your view if you hold your bike up 4 inches higher than your hitch receiver.
I've included a picture of the Sherpa with bikes loaded on a smaller suv to give you an idea. The bikes are rather... view full answer...
Wiring harnesses that connect to the vehicle battery for power, like the Curt T-Connector # C56371 for your 2020 Toyota Prius Prime, are designed to protect your OEM vehicle wiring so they are built around using the battery to power the lights.
On a system like this you essentially won't have any power to your trailer lighting no matter how small the amount of draw. The parts that tee in behind your tail lights are basically like triggers that tell the converter box when to send the power.... view full answer...
We can help you get your Prius Prime set for the surf.
Since Thule, Yakima and Rhino-Rack do not yet offer aftermarket roof racks for your 2017 Prius Prime's naked roof your best bet for surf board transport is the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier # MPG152. This foam block carrier is inexpensive, lightweight and allows you to retain the car's normal appearance when you're not heading to the beach.
The linked video will show you the features and installation of this carrier system. view full answer...
Yes, but exact measurements will depend on what kind of roof rack you have and where the bars are positioned. A good example is the Yakima Roof Rack system with parts # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06123, # Y06169.
From the front bar to the line where your roof and the hatch meet measures 58" while the Inno Wedge 660 # INBRM660WH requires that distance to be at least 48-1/2" for clearance - so you'll have roughly 9-1/2" of clearance and your hatch will open up without issues.
As for if it can... view full answer...
The best tow dolly for a 2020 Toyota Prius Prime is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045. This tow dolly works great for low ground clearance vehicles and it has a compact storage for when not in use. It also has surge brakes so there's no need to wire up a brake controller. view full answer...
Both the Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack # TH9024XT and the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058 will work with your trailer hitch on your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime. Both bike racks have a max weight rating of 37.5 lbs per bike. I did some research on your bike and it appears that fully loaded with accessories(pump, rack,saddle bag) it weighs 45 lbs. If you remove your wheels/tires(which is a good move for safety purposes) and any accessories you will be below the weight rating.
Both are almost... view full answer...
Yakima does not utilize the Q Clips and Towers for the 2016 Toyota Prius Prime.
Instead, they utilize the BaseClips, part # Y06169 and # Y06123, for the BaseLine Towers, part # Y28TR.
You can see a combination of these parts with some JetStream Crossbars, part # Y00425, at the link below. If you already have Yakima crossbars, then the is no worry as the BaseLine Towers are designed to work with Yakima's entire range of crossbars. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Any trusted mechanic should be able to install most hitches, but because the hitches available for the 2022 Prius Prime would require removing the rear bumper cover and fascia, I'd want to choose someone who's experienced in removing body panels without damaging them. For an install of this sort, I typically recommend a body shop, as they remove bumper covers all the time without incident.
If you installed a Class I hitch like the Curt # C11473, you could use an adapter like # HTAD for... view full answer...
