  • Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Compatibility with Toyota Prius Prime Hitch Receiver
  • For your Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SH22G, to use it with your 2017 Prius Prime, you will need the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. This is the only one compatible with Class I hitches like what you have on your Prius Prime. It will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%, so you will need to consider the weight of your bikes and the rack when using this adapter. You will want to check your warranty on your Kuat rack as...

  • Will a Thule Bike Rack Clear the Rear Bumper on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with Hitch 24966
  • When we installed Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24966 on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime we measured a distance of 7 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the end of the rear bumper. I have linked a video showing the installation and that measurement for you. The Thule bike rack you are looking at would need to have a clearance measurement (center of hitch pin hole to closest part of rack) that is greater than 7 inches in order for the rack to clear the rear of the vehicle. The one...

  • Will 4-Bike Thule Apex Bike Rack Fit a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
  • The Thule Apex # TH9025XT fits a Class I hitch but even though it can hold 4 bikes you are still limited to 2 bikes. This is a limitation of Class I trailer hitches. In order to carry 4 bikes you would need a combination of a trailer hitch mount rack and a roof rack set up. For a hitch mounted bike rack to offset some cost for a roof rack I recommend the 2 bike Apex # TH9024XT. It weighs just 33 pounds so it is easy to handle and won't put a lot of stress on the trailer hitch. For a roof...

  • Carrying 4 Bikes on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
  • I may have a solution for you. However, you aren't able to use the Yakima DoubleDown Ace on your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime to carry four bikes. The hitch receivers for your vehicle, like the Draw-Tite # 24966, are Class I receivers and the DoubleDown Ace fits Class II and Class III receivers. In addition to that a Class I hitch is only able to carry up to 2 bikes. Instead to carry 4 bikes on your car I recommend using a hitch mount bike rack like the Swagman Titan, part # S63400, to carry...

  • Stabilizer Strap for Prius Prime All-glass Hatchback?
  • The Curt Hitch Receiver, part # C11473 is a confirmed fit for the 2017 Prius Prime. Curt hitches require that you use Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, part # 18050 with every load to avoid voiding your warranty. When using the stabilizing strap, I would recommend connecting it to the bottom of the hatch door, rather than the top to keep the stress off of the glass. I also recommend looking at lighter weight bike rack like the Kuat Beta, part # B202-114, which is an aluminum frame hanging...

  • Bike Rack Bumper Clearance on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with the EcoHitch # 306-X7369
  • Thanks so much for your order! It looks like you purchased the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7369. With this particular hitch, we unfortunately do not have the measurements available for the distance of the center of the hitch pinhole to the outside face of the rear bumper of a 2017 model Toyota Prius Prime. With that being said, the Thule T2 Classic # TH9045 will most likely interfere with your rear bumper (when folded up). This is because the measurement...

  • 2 inch Hitch that Fits 2020 Toyota Prius Prime
  • The only hitch with a 2 inch opening that fits your 2020 Toyota Prius Prime is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7369. Most hitch companies only offer 1-1/4 inch hitches for lighter duty vehicles like your Prius but EcoHitch makes all of their hitches 2 inch which is why they have a fit. This will work great with your Kuat NV 2.0 part # NV22G. We don't recommend using this with a hitch extender since the hitch is lower capacity and the extenders/risers cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.

  • Recommended 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
  • The only available 2" trailer hitch for a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7369 which is a custom fit with no drilling required. This hitch also has a completely hidden design so you won't even know the hitch is installed with the receiver tube removed.

  • 2019 Toyota Prius Prime Factory Rack Compatibility With Thule TopRide Bike Rack
  • Your question references the The Thule UpRide but it has the part number for the Thule TopRide, so I addressed both bike roof racks in my answer. The Thule TopRide Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount, part # TH75JV and the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum, part # TH599000, will both fit the factory roof rack on your 2019 Prius Prime. The Thule TopRide is a fork mounted rack that works with standard quick release wheels and 15mm thru axles....

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed to Fit a 2018 Toyota Prius Prime
  • I contacted Draw-Tite about the trailer hitch receiver # 24966. They haven't had the chance to test it on a 2018 Toyota Prius Prime yet but they believe it'll carry over. This is only the second year of the current generation of the Prius Prime so it's unlikely Toyota has made enough changes to make the hitch not fit. Also, the Curt hitch for the 2017, part # C11473, is confirmed by Curt to fit the 2018 and it installs in the same fashion as the Draw-Tite. So unfortunately I can't confirm...

  • Will Kuat Bike Racks Have Enough Clearance When Used With Draw-Tite Hitch 24966 on 2017 Prius
  • When fitting the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966 on the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, there is 12" inches from the ground to the top of the hitch and 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear most part of the back bumper. The Kuat Sherpa # SH12G and # SH12P has a distance from the center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of carrier when folded up of 7-1/2". I agree that it will have an issue clearing the bumper when the rack is folded up. 1/2" is cutting...

  • Will Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack TH23VJ Fit A 2019 Toyota Prius Prime W/ Curt Trailer Hitch C11473?
  • I have a different bike rack option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11473 you were looking at and all of the available trailer hitch receivers for your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime will measure right at 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the most outward edge of the rear bumper. Your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount # TH23JV also measures 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the rack, so the bike rack will...

  • 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2019 Toyota Prius Prime With 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • You can remove your 1-1/4 inch hitch and install a 2 inch hitch on your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime, and to do that you will need an EcoHitch, as that is the only hitch with a 2 inch receiver for your vehicle; the correct part is the following: - EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7369 It's a really smart idea to go to a 2 inch hitch because compared to the Class I hitches that fit your '19 Prius Prime, a 2 inch receiver is going to have a much wider range of higher-quality accessories...

  • Will the AirBedz Rear Seat Air Mattress Fit a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with Fixed Rear Seat Console
  • Yes, the AirBedz Rear Seat Air Mattress w Portable 12V Pump # 341033 will fit your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with fixed rear seat console. The mattress is confirmed to fit all models of the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. Looking specifically into the fixed rear seat console, the mattress would fit and lay over the top of the console. The mattress would fit better in that way than trying to lay your back seats down, because that would raise the level up higher than the foot well gap part of the...

  • Best Medium Roof Box for 2021 Toyota Prius Prime
  • 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...

  • Roof Bike Rack For 2021 Toyota Prius Prime With Factory OEM Crossbars
  • While there are bike racks that will work for your 2021 Toyota Prius Prime with factory crossbars, the Thule Big Mouth is only a fit for square bars, and there isn't an adapter that will allow it to fit on factory bars. So while I realize this isn't the news you were looking for, the only option available to transport your bike on that rack is with a new bike rack. There are a pair of options I recommend, and they have different price points so you can determine the right one for you: -...

  • Adding a Trailer Hitch Reciever to a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime for Bike Racks
  • The 2017 Prius Prime has one confirmed fit, a Curt Class I Receiver Hitch, part # C11473. This is the same hitch as the 2017 Toyota Prius core models. For Class I Hitches, there are only 1-1/4 inch receivers available, and you'll want to only use accessories that are designed to fit them, as the Class I hitches are designed to prevent accidentally overloading the hitch's weight capacities. You will also want to confirm your Prius Prime's towing capacities in your owner's manual before...
