• Availability of Installation Video for EcoHitch on 2020 Toyota Prius
• The installation process for the EchoHitch # EH53VR is very similar to the Curt # C11473 and Draw-Tite # 24966. The hitch requires the removal of the bumper and installs behind the bumper beam on your 2020 Prius XLE. Although we do not have an installation video specifically for the EcoHitch yet, we do have them for the Curt and Draw-Tite. I have attached the installation videos below so you can reference them along with the instructions for the EcoHitch to complete the installation....

• Windshield Wiper Recommendation for 2004 Toyota Prius
• I've been using the Scrubblade Hybrid Style on my vehicle, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They work well in rain, sleet, and snow. The Prius uses unequal length wipers. The driver's side uses a 26 inch blade, part # SC58FR and the passenger side uses the 18 inch # SC96FR.

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Toyota Prius and Day6 Electric Bike
• It looks like the best option for carrying the bike on your 2009 Toyota Prius is to use a trailer hitch, like # 24808, that you have referenced, and then use a platform bike rack. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video installation for the hitch for you. We have one bike rack that will fit the Class I hitch for the Prius and carry a bike that has a long wheelbase. Take a look at the Swagman XC-Extended Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, # S64650-EXT....

• How to Transport a Wheelchair with a 2012 Toyota Prius
• The only way you are going to be able to transport your scooter with a vehicle that has a Class I hitch like your 2012 Toyota Prius would have would be a small trailer. If you do not have a hitch yet you would want the part # 24847. For trailer wiring you would need the part # 118505, for a ball mount # 3593, and then for a 2 inch ball # 19258.

• Bike Rack and Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Prius for Road Bike
• The Thule FastRide roof bike rack # TH95JV is a really great choice for a bike rack for your Cannondale R800 road bike.

• What Roof Bike Rack and Crossbar System do You Recommend for My 2014 Toyota Prius?
• For a great roof-mounted bike rack on your 2014 Toyota Prius with a bare roof, I recommend the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 or the # TH599000-FB (if you have fat bike tires up to 5 inches wide). Apart from providing you with 44 pounds of bike weight capacity, the UpRide gives you the option of clamping the rack onto crossbars or using the t-channels (up to 20mm x 20mm). As far as required crossbar spread, the UpRide will mount on your crossbars as long as they can be spaced between...

• How Does Rubber Strip in Thule WingBar Crossbars Accommodate Accessories that Use T-Slot
• Take a look at the picture I attached. It shows how the QuickAccess strips in the WingBars, like part # TH711400, is actually made of two pieces with a gap down the middle. You can see the person's finger going between the two pieces. When mounting a roof accessory into the T-slots the bolt goes between the two pieces leaving everything in place. There's no need to remove the QuickAccess strip and no need to do any cutting. Also, when you remove the accessory the strips will still...

• Why Does Saris Offer Saris Bones EX 3-Bike Rack on 2011 Prius and 2020 Volvo XC40 For 2 Bikes Only
• So to get the formal stuff out of the way, for both warranty and liability issues we do have to recommend you abide by the manufacturer's restrictions, including mounting your bikes in the positions closest to your 2011 Toyota Prius and 2020 Volvo XC40 with the Saris Bones EX 3-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # SA803. Having said that, is it silly that a 3-bike rack is offered for these vehicles when it can only carry 2 bikes? Yes it is. But the reason that only two bikes can be mounted is likely...

• Can Rhino Rack 581 Nautic Kayak Carrier be Left Installed on Roof Rack
• We haven't had anyone complain that leaving their Rhino Rack Nautic 581 # RR581 mounted on their roof rack caused any issues from the heat and sun but Yakima had a similar carrier that the rubber pad would get really soft and start to deteriorate over time so I wouldn't leave these on indefinitely. How often they should be removed is really based on how often you will be using them. If you're going to be using them quite a bit it would make sense to just leave them on but if you aren't...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2017 Toyota Prius

The racks are made of steel to ensure durability and also have arms which adjust and fold down for storage. It has has an integrated steel-reinforced cable which stores inside your vehicle...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2005 Toyota Prius to Carry a Bike Rack
• For your 2005 Toyota Prius I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24808. This features a 2000 pound towing capacity and 200 pound tongue weight. I prefer the Draw-Tite because it does not require the use of a support strap when carrying items like bike racks which the Curt hitch will. The Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 is a great rack for you because it will fit the 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch on your Prius. If you're interested in a Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded...

• Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Toyota Prius
• I would recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, for your 2005 Prius. This is the easiest to mount and remove rack that I have personally used, and it folds compact for storage, see video link. I would normally recommend a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack, but for the Prius a hitch would add weight to the vehicle when not carrying bikes and the vehicle owners manual normally precludes towing as an option with these vehicles. If you will be carrying women's...
