There are many hitch mounted bike racks that will fit on your 2013 Toyota Prius V, but the bike rack that I would recommend is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Platform Bike Rack, # SH12G. This is a quality bike rack that includes many great features. There is no contact with the bike frame, the shank has a 3-1/2 inch rise for better ground clearance and plenty of bumper clearance.

Another bike rack that you may want to check out is the Swagman XTC-2 Platform Bike Rack, # S64670. This bike rack is more economically priced and it is one of the most popular bike racks among our Toyota Prius customers.

The platform design makes it easy to load and unload your bikes and it makes it compatible with many different bike frame styles without the use of adapters. I have attached a demonstration video of this bike rack on a Prius for you to check out. I have also attached a link to all of the hitch mounted bike racks that will work.
