Here's how you will be able to confirm if the Swagman Trailhead 4 part # S63380 will allow your 2014 Toyota Prius to open the rear hatch without tilting the rack. Measure from the hitch pin out to the furthest point that your rear hatch goes when it's open. If that distance is less than 9-1/2 inches this rack will allow it to open without tilting. Judging from the video you mentioned it looks pretty close.
