Expert Reply:
First, check your vehicle owners manual to make sure it is permissible to use a trailer hitch mount cargo carrier on your 2013 Toyota Prius V. You only need 1 strap, # 18050, to be within the warranty requirements for Curt trailer hitch # C11276. I have included a link to a video showing a typical use of the strap.
If you wanted you could use more than 1 strap. But you will need to use at least 1 for non-trailer loads.
