Expert Answers about Toyota Prius v


  • Will a Thule Roof Rack From a 2015 Honda Fit Work on a 2012 Toyota Prius V or What Roof Rack Will
  • Unfortunately, there is not a way to transfer that roof rack from a 2015 Honda Fit to a 2012 Toyota Prius V with a naked roof. I reached out to the manufacturer to verify this. That foot pack will not fit the Prius and there is not a foot pack compatible with both those crossbars and the Prius. If you are wanting a roof rack for your 2012 Toyota Prius V with naked roof, you will need to get a complete new roof rack. 2012 Toyota Prius v Roof Rack by Thule - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars...

  • Will the Swagman XTC-2 work on my 2012 Toyota Prius
  • Yes the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670 will work on your 2012 Toyota Prius V. You also may consider adding the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman # S64031 to securely lock the rack and your bike to your vehicle. I have attached a review video of the Swagman XTC-2 attached to a Toyota Prius for you to see how it looks as well as a review video of the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable.

  • Will the EcoHitch # 306-X7192 and Swagman E-Spec # S94FR Work on a 2012 Toyota Prius V
  • Since the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192 is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver you most certainly can use it with the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR to carry your two 50 lb bikes. I attached a review video of the EcoHitch for you. EcoHitch set the difficulty for this installation at a 9 out of 10 so if you aren't very comfortable with working on vehicles then you would want to take it to your local shop to have them perform the installation. One thing that needs to be noted...

  • Will Yakima King Cobra Bike Rack Fit Yakima JetStream Crossbars
  • That's a good question so I checked with Yakima about how to mount your King Cobra bike rack to your new Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425. What I found out was that there is no way for the King Cobra to use the T-slots in the crossbars, which means if you want to use this rack you will need MightyMounts, and the correct part is the Mighty Mount 39H Accessory Adapter for Yakima CoreBar and JetStream Crossbars # Y03539.

  • Can I Use the 400XT Feet on a 2012 Prius V?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, even though the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet TH400XT feet are compatible with your 2012 Toyota Prius V, I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the fit kit 2124 and older-style crossbars LB50 that are needed for the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet # TH400XT on your vehicle are discontinued. The reason why the newer squarebars will not work with the Thule Aero Feet is because the older bars have channels in them that were designed to...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2012 Toyota Prius V With Sunroof
  • I confirmed with my contact at Thule that you can actually go with the Wingbar Evo Crossbars 53" Black # TH711420 (or Silver Crossbars # TH711400) along with Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH145129. The reason that this fits your 2012 Toyota Prius V with the sunroof is because the feet clamp onto your door jam and do not rest on the glass. Keep in mind, you will not want to open your sunroof with the crossbars installed as this could cause damage.

  • Large Cargo Carrier For 2012 Toyota Prius V
  • I checked with every rack manufacturer and there are zero roof racks that fit your 2012 Toyota Prius v with a moonroof, so in order to carry cargo, you'll need a trailer hitch receiver, cargo carrier, and cargo bag. For a large cargo carrier you'll need a 2" hitch, and the only option for that is one from EcoHitch, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192. This will allow you to use a 24" x 60" cargo carrier - the largest available - the Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches...

  • Does RockyMounts GuideRail Bike Rack fit 2017 Toyota Prius v or 2017 Mazda 3

  • Installing a Rightline Gear Cargo Bag on a 2014 Toyota Prius IV
  • To install the Rightline Gear Sport 3 # RL100S30 you will attach the strap over the rubber door seals and clip on the back lip of the rubber seal. Closing your door will keep the strap end in place. I included a video which at 6:40 does a great job of showing how to properly install the straps for you to take a look at. Another option to look at is the Rightline Gear Sport 2 # RL100S20 which is slightly smaller, but we have fit on a Toyota Prius. I included a few pictures of the Rightline...

  • Does Yakima Fullback Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2012 Toyota Prius V
  • Yes, I checked with Yakima just now and they have confirmed the fit of the Fullback part # Y02634 on your 2012 Toyota Prius V with a spoiler. I attached a picture that shows the rack installed on a V just like yours with a spoiler.

  • Stock Tire Sizes for 2013 Toyota Prius v
  • The 2013 Toyota Prius V can come with either of two stock tire sizes, 205/60-16 or 215/50-17. The larger size tire 215/50-17 is 8-1/2-inches wide. A 235 size tire is 9-1/4-inches wide and this wide a tire could potentially cause interference issues with brake lines and other vehicle components within the wheel well. I reviewed an online version of the owner's manual for the car and it has no information about using larger tires than the two sizes noted above so I would not attempt to use...

  • Is Adapter Needed To Secure Women's Bike In Swagman XC Bike Platform Style Bike Carrier
  • The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style, part # S64650 has a center mast that has hooks that slide up and down so that they can secure bike frames of different shapes and height. You should have no problem at all carrying women's bikes with this carrier. You can use an adaptor like part # 64005. The adaptor attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and provides a level attach point if you prefer.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2012 Toyota Prius v
  • Your 2012 Toyota Prius v can absolutely have a trailer hitch installed. I can't speak for U-Haul but we have a number of different trailer hitches that fit your '12 Prius v. The best option, if you want the cleanest look, is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192. That's because this hitch is completely hidden so the crosstube does not show, and it is also the only hitch for your vehicle that has a 2 inch receiver. That is important because a larger receiver means many,...
