  • Tire Chains For 2016 Toyota Prius 3 With 215/50-17 Size Tire

You need S Class Compatible Chains and the easiest of them all to install are the Konig Self-Tensioning Chains # TH00023095. No need to get a rubber tensioner as they already have them built in. These will give you more traction and are the best option for you. I like these chains MUCH more than the ladder pattern style chains because...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2012 Toyota Prius with Sun Roof

  • How can I carry 4 bikes with a 2016 Prius
  • I highly recommend sticking with a 2 bike rack if you are going with a hitch rack. Your Prius uses a Class I trailer hitch which should not carry any more than 2 bikes per the vehicle and bike rack manufacturer. I recommend looking at the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058 which is a great fit. Also since you are going to be carrying multiple bikes you may want to look at the Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT which will allow you to carry women's and alternative frame bikes. If you are...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring For 2010 Toyota Prius
  • You can use Curt Class I hitch part # C11276 to tow a light weight motor cycle trailer. I did take a look at your owner's manual and Toyota does not recommend towing anything with the Prius but it is ultimately up to you.

You will also need a ball mount and ball. The recommended ball mount is part #...

  • Thule Hideaway Awning And Adapter For A Winnebago Solis 59P
  • Since your Winnebago Solis 59P has a pop top, instead of using the Dodge ProMaster Van Adapter for Thule HideAway Awning # TH301650 with the Thule HideAway Awning for ProMaster or Sprinter # TH620001, I recommend using the: -Thule HideAway Awning Adapter for Dodge ProMaster Cargo Van # TH308960 instead. This kit will allow you to mount the Thule Hideaway awning directly to the side of your camper van, which I believe will work better with your setup, however this kit is not a no-drill kit.

  • Will a Yakima Roof Rack From a 2005 Toyota Prius Fit a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
  • If you are referring to the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack then yes, you can transfer it from the 2005 Toyota Prius to your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime but you will need a new fit kit as they are different for each vehicle. The fit kit is the part or rather clips that attach inside the door jamb and secure the feet to the roof.

  • Which Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Fits a 2015 Toyota Prius
  • The Draw-Tite # 24847 is a fit for your 2015 Toyota Prius. The # 24808 is actually for older models of the Prius from 2004 to 2009. Another hitch that fits is part # 24967. The insallation is more detailed and time consuming but in the end I prefer this style. It's a much cleaner look because the cross tube is hidden behind the Toyota's bumper and all you see is the receiver tube underneath. Look at the darker colored Prius in the pictures, as opposed to the blue Prius where you can...

  • Will the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack Hold a Woman's Bike Securely Without an Adapter Bar
  • The ability of the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack, # S64670, to securely hold a woman's bike without a bike adapter bar will depend on the style of the bike's frame. If the bike has a step through frame with a sharp downward curve or angle, then a bike adapter bar, like part # 64005, would be required. If it has a typical woman's style bike frame with a less dramatic curve or angle, then you should have no problem securing the bike without the adapter bar. I have attached a picture of a bike...

  • Can a Carbon Fiber Frame Bike Be used on a Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Carrier
  • There should not be any more concern with a fork mount than say a full wheel mount. The weight of the bike is resting in the same place whether that is on a wheel or fork mount would not make much difference. The bigger concern with carbon fiber frame bikes is using them on a hitch mounted hanging bike rack. Bouncing on the back of a vehicle while hanging by the top tube can stress the frame in a way it is not designed to handle. When you mount the bike on the rack, just take the same...

  • Will the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box Fit a 2010 Toyota Prius with SportRack Crossbars
  • To determine the fit of the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, to the crossbars you ordered and to the vehicle itself, it will help to consider a few measurements. First, the cargo box mounting hardware is designed to fit on crossbars no wider than 4 inches wide. The center to center distance between the bars will also need to be 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8".
