Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
Question:
Thanks to Andrew N. for your answer to my recent question regarding towing our 2017 Prius Prime behind our Class C motor home while also carrying two recumbent trikes. I ordered everything you suggested and look forward to its delivery. Another question! We anticipate wanting to access bike trails that will require us to drive to the trail head. So, we would like to be able to carry both trikes on the Prius. Since we will have this rack as well as the SeaSucker Bike Rack for Trikes, can you suggest a hitch for the Prius Prime that would accommodate this rack? The trike weighs 37 pounds. Thank you.

For a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, I would go with the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7369. This is a 2" receiver which can typically accommodate more accessories than a typical 1-1/4" receiver. Your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack for 1 Recumbent Delta or 1 Trike would fit this receiver without an issue.
The trailer hitch receiver offers a simple bolt-in installation process and requires no drilling.
