Expert Answers about Toyota Prius Prime


  • Will Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack TH23VJ Fit A 2019 Toyota Prius Prime W/ Curt Trailer Hitch C11473?
  • I have a different bike rack option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11473 you were looking at and all of the available trailer hitch receivers for your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime will measure right at 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the most outward edge of the rear bumper. Your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount # TH23JV also measures 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the rack, so the bike rack will...

  • Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Compatibility with Toyota Prius Prime Hitch Receiver
  • For your Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SH22G, to use it with your 2017 Prius Prime, you will need the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. This is the only one compatible with Class I hitches like what you have on your Prius Prime. It will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%, so you will need to consider the weight of your bikes and the rack when using this adapter. You will want to check your warranty on your Kuat rack as...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2019 Toyota Prius Prime

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Options for a 2018 Toyota Prius Prime
  • I do have a trailer hitch receiver that is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime but Draw-Tite has yet to as of (April 2018) carry over the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24966 for the 2018 model year. Curt on the other hand has carried over the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11473 as being a confirmed fit for your 2018 Prime. Although it is likely that the Draw-Tite hitch will fit the 2018 model year, this has not yet to be confirmed by the manufacturer....

  • Trailer Hitch for 2018 Toyota Prius Prime With 2 Inch Receiver For Bike Rack
  • We do have one option for a trailer hitch that fits your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime that has a 2 inch receiver so you can use a 3-bike rack, which is from EcoHitch: - EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7369 This hitch fits your Prius Prime and is the only option with a 2 inch receiver; every other hitch is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and is only capable of carrying a 2-bike rack, so the EcoHitch is going to be perfect for your needs.

  • Bike Rack Bumper Clearance on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with the EcoHitch # 306-X7369
  • Thanks so much for your order! It looks like you purchased the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7369. With this particular hitch, we unfortunately do not have the measurements available for the distance of the center of the hitch pinhole to the outside face of the rear bumper of a 2017 model Toyota Prius Prime. With that being said, the Thule T2 Classic # TH9045 will most likely interfere with your rear bumper (when folded up). This is because the measurement...

  • Will Kuat Bike Racks Have Enough Clearance When Used With Draw-Tite Hitch 24966 on 2017 Prius
  • When fitting the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966 on the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, there is 12" inches from the ground to the top of the hitch and 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear most part of the back bumper. The Kuat Sherpa # SH12G and # SH12P has a distance from the center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of carrier when folded up of 7-1/2". I agree that it will have an issue clearing the bumper when the rack is folded up. 1/2" is cutting...

  • Best Medium Roof Box for 2021 Toyota Prius Prime
  • Yes, but exact measurements will depend on what kind of roof rack you have and where the bars are positioned. A good example is the Yakima Roof Rack system with parts # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06123, # Y06169. From the front bar to the line where your roof and the hatch meet measures 58" while the Inno Wedge 660 # INBRM660WH requires that distance to be at least 48-1/2" for clearance - so you'll have roughly 9-1/2" of clearance and your hatch will open up without issues. As for if it can...

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Part # TH898 Fit a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with Factor Roof Rack
  • I do have an option for you to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 on your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime but it will not work with the factory roof rack because it needs 4-8" of crossbar that extends past the mounting feet. In order to use the Hullavator on your Prius Prime you would need to remove the factory roof rack and install an aftermarket roof rack that meets the above criteria like the Thule WingBar System which is composed of part # TH711400, part # TH710501, and...

  • Fit Kit and Towers for Yakima Crossbars on a 2016 Toyota Prius Prime
  • Yakima does not utilize the Q Clips and Towers for the 2016 Toyota Prius Prime. Instead, they utilize the BaseClips, part # Y06169 and # Y06123, for the BaseLine Towers, part # Y28TR. You can see a combination of these parts with some JetStream Crossbars, part # Y00425, at the link below. If you already have Yakima crossbars, then the is no worry as the BaseLine Towers are designed to work with Yakima's entire range of crossbars.

  • Can Class 1 Hitch on 2021 Toyota Prius Prime Carry 58-lb e-Bike
  • As long as the weight of the bike doesn't exceed the capacity of the bike rack and the combined weight of the rack and bike doesn't exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, and the rack you use is compatible with a Class I hitch, you can absolutely carry an e-bike using either the Draw-Tite # 24966 or the Curt # C11473. If I had to choose between the two, I'd choose the US made Curt # C11473. If you only need to carry 1 bike, the 35 lb RockyMounts Monorail # RKY10007 would be a...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24966 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime and will work well for you. The Draw-Tite Sportframe is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. In order to keep dirt and debris from getting inside the receiver tube opening, I recommend using the Rubber Hitch Cover part # 22281 while not in use. If you can tell me what you will be using the trailer hitch for I would be glad to offer some additional recommendations...

  • Comparing the Saris Freedom and Kuat Transfer for Use on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
  • One of the biggest factors when it comes to deciding bike rack fit is the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of your bumper. When we installed the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966 on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime we found that distance to be 7". Out of the Saris Freedom 2 # SA4412B and the Kuat Transfer 2 # KU74FR, or their Fat Bike variations # SA4412B-FB and Transfer's Adapter # APBK, I prefer the Transfer. It is a wheel mount bike rack...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendations for 2022 Toyota Prius Prime
  • Any trusted mechanic should be able to install most hitches, but because the hitches available for the 2022 Prius Prime would require removing the rear bumper cover and fascia, I'd want to choose someone who's experienced in removing body panels without damaging them. For an install of this sort, I typically recommend a body shop, as they remove bumper covers all the time without incident. If you installed a Class I hitch like the Curt # C11473, you could use an adapter like # HTAD for...

  • 2 inch Hitch that Fits 2020 Toyota Prius Prime
  • The only hitch with a 2 inch opening that fits your 2020 Toyota Prius Prime is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7369. Most hitch companies only offer 1-1/4 inch hitches for lighter duty vehicles like your Prius but EcoHitch makes all of their hitches 2 inch which is why they have a fit. This will work great with your Kuat NV 2.0 part # NV22G. We don't recommend using this with a hitch extender since the hitch is lower capacity and the extenders/risers cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.

  • Stabilizer Strap for Prius Prime All-glass Hatchback?
  • The Curt Hitch Receiver, part # C11473 is a confirmed fit for the 2017 Prius Prime. Curt hitches require that you use Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, part # 18050 with every load to avoid voiding your warranty. When using the stabilizing strap, I would recommend connecting it to the bottom of the hatch door, rather than the top to keep the stress off of the glass. I also recommend looking at lighter weight bike rack like the Kuat Beta, part # B202-114, which is an aluminum frame hanging...

  • Will a Thule Bike Rack Clear the Rear Bumper on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with Hitch 24966
  • When we installed Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24966 on a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime we measured a distance of 7 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the end of the rear bumper. I have linked a video showing the installation and that measurement for you. The Thule bike rack you are looking at would need to have a clearance measurement (center of hitch pin hole to closest part of rack) that is greater than 7 inches in order for the rack to clear the rear of the vehicle. The one...

  • Recommended 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
  • The only available 2" trailer hitch for a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7369 which is a custom fit with no drilling required. This hitch also has a completely hidden design so you won't even know the hitch is installed with the receiver tube removed.

  • Will the AirBedz Rear Seat Air Mattress Fit a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with Fixed Rear Seat Console
  • Yes, the AirBedz Rear Seat Air Mattress w Portable 12V Pump # 341033 will fit your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with fixed rear seat console. The mattress is confirmed to fit all models of the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. Looking specifically into the fixed rear seat console, the mattress would fit and lay over the top of the console. The mattress would fit better in that way than trying to lay your back seats down, because that would raise the level up higher than the foot well gap part of the...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Work for an E-Bike on a 2021 Prius Prime?
  • The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR will fit a 2021 Toyota Prius Prime if the end of the bumper measures less than 9-1/4 inches from the distance from center of hitch pin. As far as the weight, the Destination has a maximum per bike weight capacity of 35 pounds, so it is not a good option for you (since the Aventon 500 weighs 49 pounds).. If at least one Aventon 500 e-bike weighs more than 39 pounds, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric...
