The OnRamp also includes a 51" ramp that will make loading your...

- There are no 4-bike truck racks confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Toyota Prius C. Only 3 bikes like the Yakima HangOut part # Y02638.
Only way to carry that fourth bike would be with a roof rack and roof bike rack. For a roof rack the Rhino Rack crossbars # RRVA106B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and fit kit # DK351 is a confirmed fit and would work well. Then for a roof bike rack we have the Rhino Rack Hybrid bike rack part # RRRBC050.

view full answer... - Locking Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Toyota Prius, Prius c, or Prius V
- The Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, fits the regular 2013 Toyota Prius with the solar roof, but none of the other 2013 Prius models. There aren't any other locking racks options that will fit either but I do have a recommendation for you.
First, the Prii models have that rear spoiler piece at the top of the hatch. Because you do not want to put weight on that spoiler, nor is it designed to handle weight, you will want to use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2.
This rack has an additional...

- 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 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.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2014 Toyota Prius C
- Trailer hitch # 24971 does fit your 2014 Toyota Prius c model. Once installed the receiver will not be recessed too far beneath the Prius c which is great because that means all of the compatible bike racks will clear the rear of the vehicle without worry of scratching it.
For a 2-bike rack that is compatible I recommend the Thule Camber, # TH9058, for a hanging rack. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.
For a platform style rack the Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 is a popular option....
view full answer... - Why Don't Ball Mounts with Longer Shanks Reduce Towing Capacity
- When looking at the weight capacities on ball mounts that feature a longer shank, such as the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45024 that you recently purchased, you can comfortably follow its listed weight rating without having to reduce the capacity based on its length beyond the hitch receiver. I definitely understand your concern with this type of design, as the further out from the vehicle you get, the more leverage any tongue weight will be putting on the trailer hitch.
This is definitely...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Prius c
- The best solution we can offer you is a roof rack that fits your 2012 Toyota Prius C that does not require drilling like the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351. This is a much easier to install option that does not require permanent modification.
Drilling into your roof presents a few problems. Contacting electrical wires (which we do not know where they are) as well as opens up the potential for leaks.
