The preferred method to install your Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack # Y02445 with your 2" hitch is to use the Replacement Tongue for Yakima HoldUp Bike Racks # 8880580. Since this replaces the shank and isn't using an adapter it will help prevent any play that you might have with an adapter.
The other option is to use a hitch reducer like the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR. This will reduce the size of your receiver so you will be able to use your bike rack.... view full answer...
Definitely! I looked up the specs for your 2010 Toyota Prius and discovered that your vehicle has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds and a maximum gross towing capacity of 1,600 pounds.. With this capacity, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11276. Not only will this hitch allow you to use your maximum vehicle ratings, it also comes with a gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that provides ultimate protection against rust and... view full answer...
When you install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11468 on your 2008 Toyota Prius, you will need to use the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 with the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack # Y02445. Curt recommends this to stabilize the bike rack.
The Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521 is the current ball mount that is recommended by Curt for use with this receiver. Both the drawbars listed in the instructions were discontinued. You will need either a 1-7/8" Ball # C40001 or 2" Ball # C40018... view full answer...
There are ways to transport 4 bikes with your 2010 Toyota Prius, but the only trailer hitches available for your vehicle are Class I and as you mentioned, they have a 2 bike limit. You can use a hitch mount bike rack like the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack, # S64670, to carry two bikes, and I recommend carrying the other two bikes on the roof. I have attached a demonstration video of the XTC-2 on a Prius for you to check out. This is one of the top bike racks we carry for Class I trailer hitches.

Locks with a key code of 2808 on the front can be unlocked with the Replacement Key for Thule Racks and Carriers - N2808 # THKEYN2808. view full answer...
You're correct that using a hitch adapter does lose some of the stability. However, there are only 2 hitch receivers available or your 2009 Toyota Prius, parts # 24808 and # C11468, and they're both Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches. This is to prevent the overloading of the vehicle since its weight capacity is extremely low.
Instead I recommend using a trunk mount bike rack. The Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR, is a great option that's confirmed to fit the Prius. I've linked a video of... view full answer...
I have a great hitch for your 2022 Toyota Prius and it will great with your Freedom EX2 bike rack. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11473.

Rooftop cargo boxes like the Thule Sidekick # TH78GC require that the vehicle have a roof rack to which they can attach with their included mounting hardware. This cargo box can be used on any other vehicle that has a roof rack as long as that other rack's crossbars are no larger than 3-3/4-inches in diameter and have a center-to-center spread between 23-5/8 and 28-inches.
For a roof rack I recommend the cost-effective Rhino-Rack system consisting of parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and... view full answer...
To install a Thule square load bar roof rack on your 2010 Toyota Prius you will need to get a completely new system as thule recently went through a design change so all of their new feet and fit kits don't work with the old square crossbars.
To use square load bars on your Prius you will need the 43" SquareBars # TH712100, the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 along with the Fit Kit # TH145001. This will provide a base that clamps on your doorframe and includes a soft pad to protect the your roof. view full answer...
It looks like the Rhino-Rack bars for the 2009 Subaru Tribeca are either 49 inches long or 54 inches long and the recommended bar length for the 2010 Toyota Prius is 44 inches. Since the bars you have are longer and not shorter than required you can use them on the Prius using leg kit for Vortex bars # RRRLKVA and custom clamp kit # DK195. view full answer...

The CURT Trailer Hitch Support Strap, Part # 18050, is a universal strap that should be compatible with a 2012 Toyota Prius when used in conjunction with the CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11276. This support strap will provide additional stability and safety for a hitch-mounted bike rack. If you have concerns about the strap putting pressure on the spoiler you can route the strap to the bottom edge of the rear door rather than the top.

You do not have to have an on-board compressor or control unit to use the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4136. To add air you would need to use a compressor of some kind. If you happened to have a portable one that would work. Otherwise you could use the ones at gas stations.
To remove air you would just have to depress the valve, just like letting air out of a tire. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

The adapter, part # TH1500052581, is for specifically for the K-Summit chains and wheels that use 21MM lug nuts like those used on the Prius. If you are ordering the K-Summit chains, part # TH02230K22, you will need the 21MM lug adapter.
If you are ordering the CS10 self tensioning chains, part # TH01221070 or part # TH01221080, then no adapter is required regardless of lug size. view full answer...
We carry 2 hitches for your 2007 Toyota Prius, part # 24808 and # 11468. I have included links to these hitches and their instructions below. We also have a video of one of these hitches being installed on a 2006 Toyota Prius.
Your 2007 Prius can be wired for towing a trailer, but there is not a plug and play type harness available for it. You will need to locate the tail light wires in the trunk, identifying them with a circuit tester, and then splice the harness into them.

The roof rack I recommend for your 2015 Toyota Prius is the Rhino Rack roof rack for 2015 Prius that uses parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK195 because of the durability and quality of Rhino Rack parts. This Rhino Rack system has aerodynamic roof bars to help reduce wind noise and both the towers and the bars can be locked to the vehicle. To add locks to the bars to replace the included plastic locks you can use the # RRVA-LEC4; the towers come with steel locks included.
