Will the Malone Hanger 3 Fit a 2016 Toyota Prius
Question:
Will the Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack MPG2127 Fit a 2016 Prius?
asked by: Jo A
Expert Reply:
The Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack is a class II and III only rated bike rack so it should not be used on your 2016 Toyota Prius as there are only class I hitch options available. That said, if you are using the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch part # C11473 then it will fit but if you are using the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch part # 24966 it may not if you have the weld stop installed inside the receiver tube opening.
With this in mind, the Thule Camber 2 bike rack # TH9058 would be a much better option for you as it is class I rated. I know this option only allows for two bikes but that is the limit with a class I hitch option. In order to carry three bikes you would need a trunk mounted bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack part # Y02633.
