Expert Answers about Toyota Prius v
- Will the Swagman XTC-2 work on my 2012 Toyota Prius
- Yes the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670 will work on your 2012 Toyota Prius V. You also may consider adding the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman # S64031 to securely lock the rack and your bike to your vehicle.
I have attached a review video of the Swagman XTC-2 attached to a Toyota Prius for you to see how it looks as well as a review video of the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable.
view full answer... - Will the EcoHitch # 306-X7192 and Swagman E-Spec # S94FR Work on a 2012 Toyota Prius V
- Since the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192 is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver you most certainly can use it with the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR to carry your two 50 lb bikes. I attached a review video of the EcoHitch for you. EcoHitch set the difficulty for this installation at a 9 out of 10 so if you aren't very comfortable with working on vehicles then you would want to take it to your local shop to have them perform the installation.
One thing that needs to be noted...

- There is a type of car rooftop carrier that can mount on a bare roof and NOT require you to purchase and install a roof rack. This type of product, a roof bag, is shown on the linked page. Hard cargo box type carriers like # CTC-18S and metal basket carriers like # TH859XT that we offer do require a roof rack for installation.
Among my favorite such items is the 18-cubic-foot Rightline Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30. This bag features waterproof material, shielded zippers and double-sealed...

view full answer... - Stock Tire Sizes for 2013 Toyota Prius v
- The 2013 Toyota Prius V can come with either of two stock tire sizes, 205/60-16 or 215/50-17. The larger size tire 215/50-17 is 8-1/2-inches wide. A 235 size tire is 9-1/4-inches wide and this wide a tire could potentially cause interference issues with brake lines and other vehicle components within the wheel well. I reviewed an online version of the owner's manual for the car and it has no information about using larger tires than the two sizes noted above so I would not attempt to use...
view full answer... - Will a Thule Roof Rack From a 2015 Honda Fit Work on a 2012 Toyota Prius V or What Roof Rack Will
- Unfortunately, there is not a way to transfer that roof rack from a 2015 Honda Fit to a 2012 Toyota Prius V with a naked roof. I reached out to the manufacturer to verify this. That foot pack will not fit the Prius and there is not a foot pack compatible with both those crossbars and the Prius.
If you are wanting a roof rack for your 2012 Toyota Prius V with naked roof, you will need to get a complete new roof rack.

- The Draw Tite hitch part # 24847 does fit the 2014 Toyota Prius V and the 2010 Prius but hitches aren't typically something you install and remove frequently since the install hardware/bolts are considered one time use. So your best solution would be a hitch for both vehicles if needed.

- We have one 3-bike trunk mount rack that fits your 2015 Toyota Prius V and conveniently it's also the best for hatchbacks. Especially those with spoilers. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3 is designed so the mounting straps will not make contact and damage your spoiler. The anti-sway cradles also prevent the bikes from coming into contact with each other to protect your Prius. I've attached a video of the Over-The-Top attached to a 2013 Toyota RAV4 which will have...

view full answer... - Large Cargo Carrier For 2012 Toyota Prius V
- I checked with every rack manufacturer and there are zero roof racks that fit your 2012 Toyota Prius v with a moonroof, so in order to carry cargo, you'll need a trailer hitch receiver, cargo carrier, and cargo bag. For a large cargo carrier you'll need a 2" hitch, and the only option for that is one from EcoHitch, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192.
This will allow you to use a 24" x 60" cargo carrier - the largest available - the Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches...

- To install the Rightline Gear Sport 3 # RL100S30 you will attach the strap over the rubber door seals and clip on the back lip of the rubber seal. Closing your door will keep the strap end in place. I included a video which at 6:40 does a great job of showing how to properly install the straps for you to take a look at.
Another option to look at is the Rightline Gear Sport 2 # RL100S20 which is slightly smaller, but we have fit on a Toyota Prius. I included a few pictures of the Rightline...
view full answer... - Is The Hollywood Racks Destination 2 Bike Rack E-Bike Compatible?
- The Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR has a 35 pound per-bike weight limit. So, it isn't going to work with your e-bike.
What you really need is a rack like the Swagman Current 2 # S64678. This bike rack is made for E-Bikes and has 60lbs PER BIKE!
This is a massive difference compared to the Hollywood Racks Destination. The Swagman rack will bevery happy hauling an E-Bike. Check out my video of me using the Swagman Current!
view full answer... - Fit of Thule TH903202 EasyFold Bike Rack w/ Ecohitch 306-X7192 on 2014 Toyota Prius V
- The EcoHitch # 306-X7192 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Toyota Prius V. When we installed the hitch on a 2016 Prius V, we found that the hitch was recessed under the vehicle so that the hitch pin hole in the receiver tube was 4 inches away from the furthest rearward point of the back bumper. Since the closest part of the bike rack to its hitch pin hole is 7 inches, you'll have plenty of clearance for the # TH903202 Thule EasyFold bike rack to fit perfectly. The hitch, rack and vehicle...

- I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, even though the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet TH400XT feet are compatible with your 2012 Toyota Prius V, I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the fit kit 2124 and older-style crossbars LB50 that are needed for the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet # TH400XT on your vehicle are discontinued. The reason why the newer squarebars will not work with the Thule Aero Feet is because the older bars have channels in them that were designed to...

- There are quite a few different roof rack systems for your 2016 Toyota Prius v with a bare roof, and I included a link for all of the roof rack systems confirmed to fit your vehicle for you to take a look at.

view full answer... - Will the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mounted Bike Rack fit on a 2012 Prius V with Spoiler
- As long as you do not exceed the weight capacity for the bike rack the spoiler of your 2012 Toyota Prius V should have no problem supporting the weight of your bikes when using the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT. However, you should note that a lot of the weight of the carrier will be on the bottom feet of the carrier. It would not just be the spoiler bearing all of the weight of the rack and bikes.
