Expert Answers about Toyota Prius c


  • How Do You Recommend That I Carry Two Bikes On My 2014 Toyota Prius C
  • I have a couple of options that will work for you. The safest way to carry two bikes on your 2014 Prius C, and my recommendation, is by hitch bike rack. This will require you to get a hitch receiver installed, but the rack will be bolted into your hitch receiver and not strapped to your vehicle. The hitch receiver that I recommend is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2", part # 306-X7194. It has a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight...

  • Can Toyota Prius C Install Thule Hullavator Assisted Kayak Carrier
  • Yes you can install the Thule Hullavator assisted kayak carrier part # TH898 on the roof of your 2014 Toyota Prius c if you install a roof rack first. For that you'd want the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y28TR, # Y06135, and # Y06179 or the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351 which both have a top channel that's compatible with the Hullavator. I attached an install video for the Rhino Rack roof rack on a Prius C just like yours as well as...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Bike Carrier for Carbon Frame Road Bike on 2014 Toyota Prius c
  • It looks like you were looking at a roof rack that uses the Rhino Rack Euro Bars # RREB106B, which I don't recommend because of the lack of accessories that are designed to fit on these bars, but there is a great option available from Rhino Rack that will work on your 2014 Toyota Prius c. Instead, I recommend using the Rhino Rack Roof Rack that uses the Vortex aero bars; the parts required for this roof rack are the # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK351. I do recommend replacing the plastic...

  • What Thule Fit Kit Do I Need for My 2013 Toyota Prius C with a Bare Roof?
  • I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, Thule does not make a crossbar system for your 2013 Prius C with a bare roof. However, Yakima does make a crossbar system that does fit your 2013 Toyota Prius C. For this route, I recommend the following parts: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425 - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR - BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty # Y06135 - (Optional for...

  • Curt or Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for 2012 Toyota Prius C to Use With Bike Rack
  • That's a good question, and between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11484 and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24971 that fit your 2012 Toyota Prius C, the best option is definitely the Draw-Tite # 24971. The reason the Draw-Tite is the best option is because it has better ground clearance and bumper clearance than the Curt hitch. That means more room for the bike rack away from the vehicle and more space from the ground to the rack to prevent it from potentially hitting the ground...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Prius c
  • The Rola roof rack 59729 is designed to fit the Toyota Prius V but not the Prius c. We do have roof rack options that fit the Prius c. I have included a link to the main page for you. The most economical option is Rhino-Rack roof rack made of crossbars # RRVA106B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and custom clamp kit # DK351. As far as design is concerned the compatible rack that is closest to the Rola rack is made up of Yakima CoreBars # Y00421, with BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, front clips # Y06135,...

  • What Bike Rack Do You Recommend For My 1994 Isuzu Amigo Or My 2014 Toyota Prius C
  • I do have a solution for you. It can be handled by replacing your ball mount with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4", part # C12181. This hitch receiver has a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs. Once this hitch receiver is in place, my hitch bike recommendation is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # HR200Z. The reason you will have to go with a new...

  • Will the Saris Solo Bike Carrier Work WIth An All City Space Horse Bike And A 2015 Toyota Prius C?
  • Yes, since your All City Space Horse bike only weighs 25-lbs, and the Saris Solo Bike Carrier # SA102 has a maximum carrying capacity of 35-lbs, you will be well within the limit and it'll work great for you! This rack also has soft rubber, anti-sway cradles to prevent any bike-to-car contact, is made in the USA, and will easily store in your trunk or garage due to it's compact size.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2013 Toyota Prius c and 57 Pound E-Bike
  • In order to carry 2 bikes on your 2013 Toyota Prius c, one of which is a 57 pound electric bike, you will need to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The Saris Freedom, # SA4412B, is a hitch mounted bike rack, it is compatible with the available trailer hitches for your Prius c, and it has a 60 pound per bike capacity. All this makes it a great option for you. For a trailer hitch use Curt hitch # C11484. This hitch can support up to 200 pounds suspended from the...

  • Will Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack Fit on 2012 Toyota Prius Compact
  • The Kuat Sherpa Hitch Bike Rack, part # SH12B, you have referenced is one of our best selling hitch bike racks. It will fit Class I and Class II 1-1/4 inch hitches. It is made of lightweight, rustproof aluminum and folds up out of the way when not being used. It uses an adjustable hook that grabs the front tire to hold your bike in place, so it does not touch the frame of your Trek bike. I am including a link to a video review on the Kuat bike rack. You will want to look at the owners...

  • Will Thule WingBars Work With Rhino Rack Or Yakima Towers?
  • I am sorry to say that the Thule Wingbars are not compatible with Rhino Rack and Yakima towers. Roof rack manufacturers make their parts to only be compatible with their product line, so if you have Thule bars, you will need to use Thule towers and fit kit as well. I see that you were looking at parts for a 2016 Toyota Prius C. Unfortunately, we do not offer a Thule fit kit for your vehicle at this time. So your best bet would be to go with a full Yakima or Rhino Rack setup. Personally,...

  • Roof Basket and Bike Rack Combination for my 2015 Toyota Prius C and my 142x12mm Thru Axle Bike
  • I have a solution but there is not a roof top basket with incorporated fork clamps that will work with the 12mm thru axle. Instead the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket part # Y07139 is a great roof top basket that has cross bars. This will allow you to attach the Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack part # Y02115.

  • Parts Needed to Move Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack to 2014 Toyota Prius C
  • A vehicle-specific portion of the Rhino-Rack roof racks for your 2014 Toyota Prius C is the Custom DK Clamps and Pad kit # DK351 that you referenced and this kit is used for a number of their 2500-series racks. You may also need a leg kit; which one will depend on the crossbars you have (the 2500 series includes several types). If you have the heavy-duty crossbar # RB1250 you will use leg kit # RRRLKHD; if you have Aero crossbars you'll instead use # RRRLKVA. The link provided will show...

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Prius C
  • You sure can! For a hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24971. For a cargo carrier, I really like the # 63155 from Pro Series. The carrier has usable platform space of about 20 x 48 inches, and features an angled shank that increases the carrier's ground clearance by 3 inches. If you needed a cargo bag to protect your cargo from road gunk, we offer the # e98990 cargo bag that's 9 cubic feet of storage space.

Before you attempt to carry 2 kayaks on the roof of your Prius you will need to consult your owner's manual to determine if you have the carrying capacity for...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Prius C
  • I checked with Thule and they don't have any fits for their square bar racks on your 2013 Toyota Prius c. The best solution I can offer would be to offer you the similar Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351 that also is an upgrade.

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota Prius C
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars # RRVA106B-2 will fit your 2012 Toyota Prius C. For the complete roof rack, you will also want the 2500 Series Leg Kit, # RRRLKVA and the Custom DK Clamps and Pads, # DK351. I recommend checking your owners manual to verify the weight capacity of your vehicles roof before loading any cargo on the roof rack. The Vortex Aero crossbars have a maximum weight capacity of 165 lbs, but the weight capacity of your roof is likely lower.
