- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2012 Toyota Prius v To Carry Thule EasyFold XT TH903202
- Both the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24967 and # 24847 you were looking at for your 2012 Toyota Prius v measure over 1-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front edge of the receiver so you will have no issues using the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202 you mentioned.
Between these two racks I recommend the # 24967 as it has a crosstube that sits further underneath the vehicle and will be less visible while...
view full answer... - Can the Curt 4 Bike Rack 18030 be Used on a 2013 Toyota Prius V
- I do have options for you but the Curt 4 Bike Rack part # C18030 is not class I rated so even if you were to only carry two bikes I could not recommend you use this on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11276 for your 2013 Toyota Prius V. In order to use this bike rack you would need to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7192 which would also allow you to carry the maximum number of bikes for this bike rack so long as the weight of the bike rack and these...
view full answer... - E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Prius V with Built in Ramp
- The only bike rack that matches all of your needs is the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 that you referenced. It's the only E-bike rack with the needed capacity for a heavier E-bike, can fit in a Class I hitch like what Prius has, and has a built in ramp to make loading and unloading bikes easier.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2 Electric Bikes on a 2013 Toyota Prius V
- The Thule Passage 3 trunk mount bike rack # TH911XT is rated for 35 pounds per bike. The most a single bike can weigh is 35 pounds. None of the trunk mount bike racks are rated high enough to carry 2 electric bikes. In order to carry 2 electric bikes you would need to install a trailer hitch on your 2013 Toyota Prius V.
For a hitch I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 24847. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated for 200 pounds tongue weight so the combined weight of both bikes and the rack will...

- If you wanted to add a reverse light circuit to the part # C56156 you would also need the part # 20036.
The blue wire of this would run to the reverse light circuit of your Prius v which would give you the fifth circuit active for back up lights. Aside from that the 4-way would just plug right into this adapter.

- Since the vehicle you have that has the 1-1/4 inch hitch on it is a Prius the hitch will be a Class I hitch and that means it can only carry up to 2 bikes. You can still carry your third bike on your roof, but at the hitch you can only carry 2.
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0, part # SH12G, is compatible with Class I hitches so it would be a great option for you. It attaches at only the wheels like you are interested in as well.
For a roof rack you would then want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2,...

view full answer... - Recommendations For Carrying 4-Bikes On 2012 Toyota Prius V
- The trailer hitches available for your 2012 Prius V are all Class l hitches as you found out. This does limit any bike carrier mounted in the hitch to 2 bikes.
One option for carrying 4-bikes would be to install a roof rack and carry 2 bikes on that as well as a hitch mounted bike carrier with 2 bikes.
The hitch I recommend is # 24847.
For a 2-bike carrier I recommend part # TH9058.
For a roof rack I recommend the Yakima roof rack. This system has 48-inch round crossbars and a custom...

- The only time it would be advantageous to have ability to inflate the air bags of the Coil Rite # F4136 separately would be if you had an uneven load from left to right that you were trying to level out. For a union tee to allow you the ability to inflate both bags to same PSI you could easily use the part # F3105-1.

- I do have a solution for you, however we do not currently have an adapter available that will convert a 4-Way flat on your vehicle to a European 7-Way connector. In order to convert the 4-Way to a European style 7-Way, you will just need to do a little hardwiring.

view full answer... - Concealed Style Class I Hitch Recommended for 2014 Toyota Prius V
- For a 1-1/4 inch Class I hitch with a concealed crossbar like the Class III EcoHitch # 306-X7192 you'd looked at, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 24967. As you can see from the provided photo, the only portion of the hitch visible from the rear is the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. The remained of the hitch is concealed behind the rear bumper and fascia.
When we installed the hitch on a 2016 Prius V, we found that when installed, the hitch pin hole in the receiver tube was recessed...
view full answer... - Recommended 4 Bike Rack For 2016 Prius V Wagon With 2 inch Hitch Receiver
- For your 2016 Prius V Wagon with 2 inch hitch receiver, I recommend the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # Y02465. This rack has a swing away design to allow complete access to your hatch even with bikes loaded. This rack has an integrated hitch lock as well as a cable lock for security. This carrier weighs 56 lbs and has a weight capacity of 160 lbs, so you won't be further limited by the hitch tongue weight but may be limited by the vehicle itself.

- Roof rack systems such as the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series for Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA126B-2 for your 2012 Toyota Prius V have a particular mounting location. That is the design of roof racks for naked roofs, you do not have adjustability in terms of crossbar spread. These are designed to be positioned at particular location with minor tolerance forward/aft. The crossbar spread is about 28.5" as measured from the enter of one crossbar to the center of the other.

- We do have a large selection of roof racks that are confirmed to fit the 2017 Toyota Prius V. They will be compatible with panoramic roof on this vehicle, however it is not recommended to operate the moonroof while the roof rack is installed.
I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Roof Rack, which consists of parts # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06117 and # Y06174. This rack features 2 aero-style crossbars that will reduce wind noise and vibration. The system has a weight capacity of 220 pounds.

view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Toyota Prius V
- I have a roof rack solution that will work great on your 2016 Toyota Prius V, but there isn't a fit kit available that will convert your current Rola to fit the new Prius.
The Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRRS696B is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and would be a great option. I really like this rack because the bars don't go through the feet of the rack which gives it more of an OEM style look that will create less wind noise and resistance. Your best option with your current Rola would...
view full answer... - Recommended 4 Bike Rack Compatible With Class I Hitch Receiver On 2012 Toyota Prius V
- The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24847 is confirmed to fit your vehicle.
As far as the bike rack goes, you absolutely can get a 4 bike rack now, only using 2 bikes for now and upgrading your vehicle at a later date. That is sound logic. The only issue is the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # Y02458 will not fit a Class I hitch. It will only fit a Class II hitch. The issue is that the manufacturers weld...

- The Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-11 will work with a 4 bike rack for your vehicle if you have proper mounting and welding done.
My recommendation is to instead use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # 306-X7192 which is confirmed to fit. You can then use the Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR or any of the other Thule 4 bike racks I've linked.
If the rack you choose does not come with locks, I recommend the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device...
