Which 2-Bike Carrier Should I Use For My 1-1/4 Class 1 Hitch Receiver?

Question:

I need a 2-bike platform style carrior if possible? My vehicle has the Draw-Tite 24847 Class I Sportframe Hitch with 1-1/4 Square Receiver Tube Opening installed by UHaul.

I have a solution for you, you need a rack that is made to fit 1-1/4" hitch receivers that are Class 1 like your Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24847 on your 2013 Prius. Other racks will not be compatible.

I have a couple really nice bike racks that I recommend for your current setup. You could look into the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH903202 which is one of the nicest carriers that would work for your receiver/vehicle. The weight capacity is 65lbs per bike and it has a ramp for easy loading/unloading. Integrated locks secure the carrier to your vehicle and the bikes to the rack.

I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
