Hitch Recommend for Carrying Bike Rack on 2016 Toyota Prius V Does Not Require Stabilizer Strap
Question:
Can you recommend a bike rack stabilizer strap that would work with a 2016 Prius V that has a rear spoiler. My bike rack is a Swagman Titan model S63400. Thank you.

The ideal solution for carrying the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # S63400 with your 2016 Toyota Prius V is to use a trailer hitch that does not have the stabilizer strap requirement. For that the Draw Tite part # 24847 would be perfect.
If you already have the Curt # C11276 which does have this requirement you will need the strap part # 18050. You would have to run the strap above the spoiler to the hatch door seam.
