• What Does Installing A Hitch On 2014 Toyota Prius To Carry A Bike Rack Consist Of
• You are correct in your thinking that the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 requires a trailer hitch for the bike rack to attach to the vehicle. The 2014 Toyota Prius does have custom fit hitches available that attach to the frame of the Prius with bolts and washers with the existing holes in the frame. The hitches available for this vehicle do not require any drilling into the frame or fascia trimming so they are a pretty easy installation. I recommend the Class I Draw-Tite Sportframe...

• Will the Thule Gateway Trunk Mount 2 Bike Rack Fit a 2005 Toyota Prius
• Yes, the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier, # TH9006, is listed as a fit for the 2005 Toyota Prius. I have included a link to a video review of the 3 bike model but it shares features with the 2 bike model. If the Prius is on a tow dolly and you find the bikes on the trunk are hanging too low, you may be able to adjust the arms so that the bikes are up a little higher. However, make sure to return the arms to the proper position before taking the Prius off of the tow dolly. If you will be...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2014 Toyota Prius With Glass Hatchback
• The Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR is an otherwise good pick for your 2014 Toyota Prius, but you are correct that you'd have to attach the rack directly to the glass at the top of the hatch in order to mount this rack. Instead, I recommend a Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier, part # SA805BL for the glass hatch Prius because of Saris' Hatch Hugger straps, part # SA3035. These straps replace your top mounting straps with ones that thread through your hatchback's top gap and use a cushioned bar...

• Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch and Swagman Bike Rack Compatibility with 2010 Toyota Prius
• The Draw-Tite # 24847 will sit below the bumper of your 2010 Toyota Prius, where the Draw-Tite # 24967 will have a hidden crosstube. I've attached a photo for comparison. They are equally easy to install and have the same capacity ratings. The 13 inch measurement from the ground to the top inside of the receiver you mentioned means you will have about 11-1/2 inches of clearance from the bottom of the chain loops to the ground. You are correct that the receiver will stick out about...

• Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, Part # RM-077-2, be Used with a Towing Dolly
• The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, Part # RM-077-2, has a rated tongue weight capacity of 400 pounds. Its intended purpose is to allow use of an accessory such as a bike carrier or cargo carrier at the same time that a tow bar is being used, however, it can be used while towing a dolly as well. Just not a trailer. Please keep in mind that any type of hitch extender or hitch adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on which it is installed by 50%.

• Highest Capacity Roof Rack to Use With Rooftop Tent On 2010 Toyota Prius
• The highest roof rack weight capacity we have for a 2010 Toyota Prius is 140 lbs, the Inno Aero Crossbar System part # INXB123-130, part # INXS250, and part # INK865 is what I recommend. This could then be used with the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent part # Y07436 or part # Y07437 which only weighs around 100 lbs and 115 lbs respectively. I am not aware of a roof racks for the 2010 Toyota Prius which can support 175 lbs, the roof simply won't be rated that high.

• Can 3 Bikes be Carried with the Thule Helium Pro 3 on a 2012-2013 Toyota Prius with 1-1/4 Receiver
• The 2-bike rule (which is true) has more to do with the class rating of the trailer hitch than the actually receiver size itself. Since the only 1-1/4" trailer hitches for your 2012-2013 Toyota Prius are rated as Class I then you can only carry 2 bikes with the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO. For the 2" receiver option the only trailer hitch available is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receive # 306-X7178 which also features a design that hides the crossmember. I recommend...

• Best Trailer Hitch For 2010 Toyota Prius For Hauling Small Motorcycle
• There is really only one option for a trailer hitch for your 2010 Toyota Prius for hauling your 190 lb Honda Trail, which is the EcoHitch: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7178 The reason why you'll need the # 306-X7178 is because of its tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs, which is the highest capacity of any hitch for your '10 Prius. All the other hitches for your Prius have a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, which isn't enough for both your bike and the carrier. Additionally,...

• Will a Thule Roof Mount Cargo Bag Fit Between Rola Roof Rack Crossbars
• You are correct, The Thule cargo bag, # TH869, is 40 inches long and the bar spread for Rola roof racks on your 2006 Toyota Prius are closer to 26 inches apart on center. You could still use both but part of the bag would ride on top of the bars and it is not an ideal situation. None of the roof racks have a bar spread that would be wide enough but I have another solution. Instead of using this bag you could use a different bag that does not require a roof rack at all and actually save...

• Using the Lets Go Aero ArcHaus Tailgate Tent with a 2017 Toyota Prius
• I reached out to my contact at Let's Go Aero about the ArcHaus, part # SAR024-031, and they confirmed it will fit your 2017 Toyota Prius. It might be little, large but they recommended using some tent clips to help with the extra if it's too baggy. You can close the hatch while using the tent and it includes 3 doors; one for the side away from the vehicle and two different ones for the vehicle side. One of those two has an opening for when you're connected to the Prius and want to access...

• SportRack Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers for a 2008 Toyota Prius
• The SportRack semi-custom roof rack # SR1002 will fit a 2008 Toyota Prius 5-door model (4-door and rear hatch which in 2008 I believe they all were). To carry 2 kayaks on their sides and tie them off to one carrier I recommend carrier # MPG115MD. If you want each kayak to have its own carrier I recommend using 2 J-style carriers # SR5511. There isn't really enough space on the roof to carry the kayaks hull down and side by side. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Toyota...

• Thule Roof Rack and Hullavator Fitment for 2016 Toyota Prius
