Expert Answers about Toyota Prius c


  • Solution for Allowing Heavier Bike be Carried by 2012 Toyota Prius c
  • The weight capacity for the Swagman Grid Lock part # S80310 is per bike cradle so you would not be able to carry a bike that weighs 40 lbs with this rack safely. There are no trunk racks with a higher weight capacity than 35 lbs per bike at this time. Only solution would be a hitch setup like the Draw Tite part # 24971 installed on your 2012 Toyota Prius c with a bike rack that has a higher capacity like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F which has a 60 lb per bike capacity.

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Prius C-One
  • We offer a wide range of trunk-mount bike racks for your 2014 Toyota Prius C-One; all options can be seen on the helpful link at right. The key factor for fit is whether your Prius has a rear spoiler. This feature can be selected using the drop-down menu at the top of the page. Spoilers can pose a challenge to the fit of a trunk-mount rack but we offer a specialized carrier from Hollywood Racks, the Over-the-Top 2 # HRF2, that features a unique arched design that works just fine with...

  • Roof Basket and Bike Rack Combination for my 2015 Toyota Prius C and my 142x12mm Thru Axle Bike
  • I have a solution but there is not a roof top basket with incorporated fork clamps that will work with the 12mm thru axle. Instead the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket part # Y07139 is a great roof top basket that has cross bars. This will allow you to attach the Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack part # Y02115.

  • Hitch Pin Lock for Use with Curt Hitch for 2012 Toyota Prius c
  • The pin holes of 1-1/4 inch hitches like the Curt # C11484 you have for your 2012 Toyota Prius c require a pins/locks that have a 1/2 inch diameter. So what you'd need instead would be the part # e98879 which has this pin diameter like you need.

  • Locking Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Toyota Prius, Prius c, or Prius V
  • The Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, fits the regular 2013 Toyota Prius with the solar roof, but none of the other 2013 Prius models. There aren't any other locking racks options that will fit either but I do have a recommendation for you. First, the Prii models have that rear spoiler piece at the top of the hatch. Because you do not want to put weight on that spoiler, nor is it designed to handle weight, you will want to use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional...

  • Bike Rack For 50 lb Bikes on Class I Trailer Hitch for 2017 Toyota Prius c
  • Since your 2017 Toyota Prius c only has Class 1, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches available - the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11484 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24971, you will need a Class I compatible rack capable of carrying a 50 lb bike; for that you'll need the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH23JV This is a premium bike rack that offers a lot of quality-of-life features which make it very easy to use, particularly for installation in your hitch.

  • How to Carry 4 Bikes with a 2015 Toyota Prius c
  • There are no 4-bike truck racks confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Toyota Prius C. Only 3 bikes like the Yakima HangOut part # Y02638. Only way to carry that fourth bike would be with a roof rack and roof bike rack. For a roof rack the Rhino Rack crossbars # RRVA106B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and fit kit # DK351 is a confirmed fit and would work well. Then for a roof bike rack we have the Rhino Rack Hybrid bike rack part # RRRBC050.

  • Why Don't Ball Mounts with Longer Shanks Reduce Towing Capacity
  • When looking at the weight capacities on ball mounts that feature a longer shank, such as the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45024 that you recently purchased, you can comfortably follow its listed weight rating without having to reduce the capacity based on its length beyond the hitch receiver. I definitely understand your concern with this type of design, as the further out from the vehicle you get, the more leverage any tongue weight will be putting on the trailer hitch. This is definitely...

  • Parts Needed to Use Yakima Round Bars on 2013 Toyota Prius c
  • Sometimes we are able to find older Yakima fit info but I checked and they do not have a Q clip setup for the 2013 Toyota Prius c so the only option we have would be a new rack that would allow you to use your round bars.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2014 Toyota Prius C
  • Trailer hitch # 24971 does fit your 2014 Toyota Prius c model. Once installed the receiver will not be recessed too far beneath the Prius c which is great because that means all of the compatible bike racks will clear the rear of the vehicle without worry of scratching it. For a 2-bike rack that is compatible I recommend the Thule Camber, # TH9058, for a hanging rack. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. For a platform style rack the Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 is a popular option....

  • Recommended Bike Rack For a 2016 Toyota Prius c For Carrying a Bulls Lacuba E-Bike With Fenders
  • I recommend using the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7194 on your 2016 Toyota Prius c. The OnRamp is capable of supporting bikes with a weight up to 66lbs. It is capable of supporting 2 bikes as you need a rack that uses a frame mount. Your Bulls Lucha e-bike has fenders that will not work on a single bike bike rack that clamps the bike in place by the wheels and tires. The OnRamp also includes a 51" ramp that will make loading your...

  • Easiest To Install Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2014 Toyota Prius C
  • I do have a very simple and easy to use option for your 2014 Toyota Prius C but I have never heard of any such thing as a wireless trailer wiring harness before. Therefore, the only way to tow a trailer with your Prius is to install a wired trailer wiring harness. I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56275 because it is plug and play which means no cutting or splicing is required. This will be the easiest to install and least invasion trailer wiring harness available...

  • Recommendation on Carrying a Small Kayak and a Bike Rack for a 2012 Toyota Prius C
  • In order for you to carry a kayak on your 2012 Toyota Prius C you will need to install a roof rack. I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack, parts # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351. The Rhino-Rack roof rack is designed to fit the naked roof of your Prius C. The rack itself has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. Check your owner's manual or with your dealer to find what the roof capacity of your Prius to make sure you do not overload the roof. You then can use the Swagman Contour Rooftop...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Prius c
  • The best solution we can offer you is a roof rack that fits your 2012 Toyota Prius C that does not require drilling like the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK351. This is a much easier to install option that does not require permanent modification. Drilling into your roof presents a few problems. Contacting electrical wires (which we do not know where they are) as well as opens up the potential for leaks.

  • Recommended Lightweight Bike Rack for a 2013 Toyota Prius C and Womens Bikes
  • The Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack # TH9058 weighs in at 28 lbs. If your bikes have smaller frames then you would likely need an adapter bar like the Thule # TH982XT otherwise your bikes will likely sit at a weird angle which not only makes it awkward to load, but it will also reduce ground clearance (see attached with the bar installed). If you can send me some pictures of your bikes I can get a better idea as to if you'd probably need an adapter bar or not. If you don't already have a trailer...
