- What is the Diameter of the Cross Bars in Rola Sport Series Roof Rack # 59728 for a Toyota Prius
- I am not familiar with the Inno Boardlocker surfboard carrier but I did do some research on it. I could not find the specs I needed, specifically what size cross bars are compatible with the carrier. But, the cross bars on the Rola Sport Series Roof Rack with GTX Mounting System, # 59728, are 1 inch tall by 3-1/8 inches in diameter. If the carrier will accept bars that size then it will fit the Rola rack.

- To haul a bike rack with your 2020 Prius, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # EH53VR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Prius with included hardware. I recommend this specific hitch because it has a 2" receiver. A 2" receiver allows you to use any bike rack on the market. It has a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity so plenty of strength to support a bike rack.
Another reason I really like this hitch is that the main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover....
view full answer... - Why Is Trailer Hitch Rated for More Weight Than Vehicle
- It's a good question and one we get from time to time. The fact is that trailer hitches are rated independently of the vehicle, which just means that something like the EcoHitch Hidden Hitch # 306-X7196 that you referenced has a 300 pound tongue weight capacity for the hitch itself. As with any aftermarket component, you'll always still be limited by the setup's weakest component, which in this case would certainly be the Prius it's installed on. The owner's manual is always the best place...

- We have hitch mounted bike racks that can be used with 70 lb e-bikes but the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier Fork Mounts # HRT970 that you referenced has a 45 lb per bike capacity which would not work for your bikes. The Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR though would be a really great option as it has an 80 lb per bike capacity.

- The Fulton Single Speed Trailer Winch, part # F142002, can be used with 15 feet of 2 inch wide strap, like the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook, part # DL24239. This is the maximum length that can be used in this winch.
It can also be used with a maximum 36 feet of 1/4 inch cable. The cable would only come in 25 foot lengths so you can use the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook, part # DL24100, which will give you 25 feet of cable. If you need the full 36 feet of cable you can use the...
view full answer... - Can the Thule T2 Bike Rack Be Used with a Hitch Adapter in a Class I Hitch on a 2012 Toyota Prius
- Your best option for carrying 2 bikes would be to use a bike rack that is compatible with Class I hitches. When using a hitch adapter, like part # HTAD, to use a 2 inch accessory in a Class I hitch, the capacity of the hitch is reduced by 50 percent. In your case 110 pounds will exceed 50 percent of the 200 pound capacity of any trailer hitch, like the hitch you referenced, # C11276, available for your 2012 Toyota Prius.
I recommend the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT, # TH92BJ, which is compatible...

view full answer... - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Tongue Weight
- Yes, you should be just fine with that weight. I show two Draw-Tite trailer hitches available for your 2014 Toyota Prius, # 24967 and the # 24847, each with a 200 lb. tongue weight and 2K tow weight. I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24847 because it sets out slightly more than the other, providing just a little more clearance for your accessories.

- The best hitch for your 2017 Toyota Prius is going to be the EcoHitch Class 2 Trailer Hitch item # EH53VR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Prius with included hardware.

view full answer... - Can a Class I Hitch on 2012 Toyota Prius Carry a Jazzy Power Chair and Carrier
- All hitches offered for your 2012 Toyota Prius are light-duty Class I types like the Draw-Tite # 24847 that you referenced. You can see all available hitches using the link at right. All share the same 1-1/4-inch receiver size and 200-lb tongue weight rating.
Pride Mobility makes many versions of the Jazzy power chair and the 1450-Series for example weighs in the range of 200-lbs without its 52-lb battery. Therefore that particular chair by itself - even before you add the weight of a...
view full answer... - Can 2012 Toyota Prius Handle 300 lbs of Tongue Weight
- The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7178 is a great hitch for your 2012 Toyota Prius and will be able to handle the 300 lb weight of your motorcycle and the motorcycle rack (if the 300 lbs you mentioned includes both), but I'm not sure if your vehicle will be able to handle that weight.
In the owner's manual Toyota mentions that you should not tow with the Prius so there isn't a max tongue weight rating given. Normally this means you need to stay around the 150 lbs - 200...
