Both vehicles are compatible with the RockyMounts GuideRail Bike Rack # RKY97ZR so long as they have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. The only hitch with a 2 inch receiver for a 2017 Toyota Prius v and 2017 Mazda 3 are from EcoHitch:

- 2017 Toyota Prius v: EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192

- 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback: EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7305
or
- 2017 Mazda 3 Sedan: EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7303
