Expert Answers about Toyota Prius Prime

• Hitch for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime that Can Carry 4 Bike Curt Bike Rack C18030
• For your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime there's only one hitch available that would be able to handle a 4 bike rack like the Curt # C18030 that you referenced and it's the EcoHitch part # 306-X7369 since it's a 2 inch hitch. The other hitches are Class I 1-1/4 inch which are limited to 2 bike racks max. This EcoHitch has a lower hitch opening that can be removed when not in use to give you a totally invisible look when not needed as well.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
• For a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, I would go with the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7369. This is a 2" receiver which can typically accommodate more accessories than a typical 1-1/4" receiver. Your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack for 1 Recumbent Delta or 1 Trike would fit this receiver without an issue. The trailer hitch receiver offers a simple bolt-in installation process and requires no drilling.

• What Crossbars System do You Recommend for Transporting a Kayak on My 2019 Prius Prime?
• I have a great roof rack that works for you. When you say that you do not have a sunroof, I am assuming you mean that you do not have a glass roof. In either case, the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1005 does not fit your 2019 Toyota Prius with a bare roof with or without a glass roof. We also do not carry any SportRack crossbars systems that are designed to fit your vehicle. If you do not have a glass roof, I recommend the following roof rack system: - Inno Square Crossbars - Steel...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
• For your 2017 Prius Prime I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. This hitch has a concealed cross tube which will help maintain a factory look, and a 200 lb maximum tongue weight for your accessories. I see you also looked at the Curt # C11473. It is virtually identical when compared to the Draw-Tite. The reason I would choose the Draw-Tite over the Curt is because the Curt requires the use of the # 18050 stabilizer...

• Thule Roof Rack Components for 2022 Toyota Prius Prime
• Thule recently redesigned their roof racks and changed the way the bars attach to the feet so what that means for you is there isn't a current fit kit designed for your vehicle and your roof rack since essentially most of the rack is now outdated. So what we can help with is help you pick out the correct Thule roof rack components for your 2022 Toyota Prius Prime. For a square bar rack you'd need the part numbers # TH712400, # TH710501, # TH145029 For a Wingbar Evo rack you'd want the...

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
• Let's first start with the hitch for your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. For that the best option is the Draw Tite part # 24966 for two reasons. One being that it doesn't require a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack like the Curt does and the other being the much better price. With that installed the Saris Freedom EX # SA4025F would fit and work well. It would easily clear the bumper and carry your bikes. I attached a review video of this rack on a similar Prius as well.

• Best Bike Rack For Tandem Bike on 2019 Toyota Prius Prime
• Both the Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack # TH9024XT and the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058 will work with your trailer hitch on your 2019 Toyota Prius Prime. Both bike racks have a max weight rating of 37.5 lbs per bike. I did some research on your bike and it appears that fully loaded with accessories(pump, rack,saddle bag) it weighs 45 lbs. If you remove your wheels/tires(which is a good move for safety purposes) and any accessories you will be below the weight rating. Both are almost...

• Best Bike Rack Recommendation for 2020 Toyota Prius Prime
• I have a great solution to carry a bike rack with your 2020 Toyota Prius Prime but none of our trunk mounted bike rack manufacturers have options for the Prime models. So you'd want to install a hitch like the # 24966 so that you can use a hitch mounted bike rack. Hitch racks are the best option overall. They are the most secure, easiest to load, and don't touch the vehicle paint so they don't risk damage to it. Once the hitch is installed the bike rack I'd recommend the Thule DoubleTrack...

• Recommended Roof Bike Rack for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime with Toyota Crossbars
• We do offer a wide selection of roof bike racks that should work great with the Toyota crossbars on your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. Based on my research, it looks like the Toyota bars for your vehicle are aero style design and you will just want to make sure that the bike rack you choose will fit over their dimensions and crossbar spread. I recommend looking at the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack # RRRBC050. This is a wheel mount carrier that will let you transport one bike without having...

• 2018 Prius Prime Trailer Hitch Recommendation
• For your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 24966 as a confirmed fit. The hitch by itself has a capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight. You'd need to check the owners manual of your vehicle and be sure to stay under the capacity listed there for towing too. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C56371 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. For a ball mount then you'd need the part # 3592 and hitch ball...

• Recommended Roof Mounted Bike Carrier for Factory Roof Rack on 2020 Toyota Prius Prime
• Although it's a pretty good entry-level roof mount bike rack, The # S64710 Fork Down bike rack wouldn't be a fit around the crossbars you specified. If you choose a rack at a slightly higher price point, you'll find that they attach to the roof rack via the top channels or grooves in the crossbar. The Inno # INXA391 Fork Lock would attach in this manner, so it won't matter how wide the crossbar is. The rack is compatible with bikes with a 9mm quick release skewer and will work with bikes...

• Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2018 Toyota Prius Prime
• While the Fit Kit 5029 # TH145029 is designed to fit your non-glass roof on your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime, it is not compatible with the Rapid Traverse Feet. This is because the # TH145029 is designed to work with the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501. To have a complete roof rack setup, you also need one of the following crossbar choices: - Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH712400 - WingBar Evo - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711420 (black) - WingBar Evo - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711400...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch And Platform Bike Carrier for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
• We offer one trailer hitch for your 2017 Prius Prime. It is the Curt # C11473. This is a Class l trailer hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per a note from Curt all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper is 7-inches so you want...

• How Can I Carry Extra Gear On My 2022 Toyota Prius Primes Roof Rack
• Yes, the mounting bolts in the t-channel of your Thule Wingbars will be enough to secure accessories to your roof rack. Typically there would be more than one mounting point per crossbar for most items, with the exception of roof bike racks. If this is something that you plan on doing, I would definitely take that into consideration. In theory, mounting the Curt Cargo Bag for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier - Waterproof - 12.25 Cu Ft, part # C18210, to your t-channels will work, provided that...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Prius Prime for Carrying Cargo Carrier
• There are some hitch brands that make 2 inch hitches for lighter duty vehicles like your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime but in general the smaller hitch size of 1-1/4 inch is what's used on lighter duty vehicles likes yours. For that I'd recommend the Draw Tite part # 24966 since you plan on carrying a cargo carrier. Unlike the Curt this does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load. Since hitch adapters cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent I'd strongly...

• How to Transport Bikes with 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
• I do have a solution for you, however there is not a trunk-mount bike rack available that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Its hatch construction and design prevents a secure fit with a trunk-mounted carrier. Your best option for transporting bikes with your Prius Prime is with a trailer hitch and hitch-mounted rack. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966. This Class I hitch is confirmed...
