Best 2015 Toyota Prius Bike Racks

We've been using this bike rack with a 1.25" Draw-Tite receiver hitch (also purchased from etrailer) on a 2012 Prius C for a month with no problems. As shown on the pictures, it fits two bikes very well, even one with a baby carrier. I chose this model based on recommendations from etrailer that it can be easily detached from the car without tools. True to their word, it is very easily detachable from the hitch and folds up nicely to fit in your garage/closet/storage area. Basically, it uses a hand tightened ball bearing mechanism to secure itself into the hitch receiver, and then uses a 3/8" hand locked pin as a safety device. You can install and de-install this rack in just a few minutes. During driving, there is little noticeable vibration from this rack, even on rougher roads or speed bumps. The only downside is that the holes on the receiver hitch do not align perfectly with the holes on the bike rack (see picture). I believe a few other reviewers also noted this issue. There is enough room to fit the safety pin, but not quite enough to fit a 1/2" hitch lock. I called Kuat to ask them about this and the rep told me that not all hitches will line up with this rack. Kuat, coincidentally(?), sells a hitch lock that is also 3/8" (same size as the safety pin) and still fits.

I looked at a lot of bike racks and the Kuat was one of the very best. Lightweight and a reasonable price. It folds nearly flat and easy to store in the trunk. I'm using on a Toyota Prius and one pleasant surprise was I can open the hatchback without moving the rack or the bikes.

Appears well made out of the box. Anxious to see how it holds up to use vs. the bing names in racks.

Works great for a 2015 Toyota Prius C. Taken on trips 2-3 hours. Highway and city roads. Never had a problem.

Fits pretty well on our 2014 Prius, although it occasionally needs some extra attention to make sure everything's secure - which is no different than any other carriers of this type. The cradles for the top tube of the bike frame are nice. Sometimes the rubber straps that you pull over a post to secure things in place are a little tight, I wish they were stretchier. But they keep things feeling good and secure. Overall it's convenient and sturdy, works with my car, and is a good value!

Does not fit a 2019 Toyota Prius very well at all. The website says it will fit, but there is no way to hookup position B strap. I put it up at the bottom of the hatchback window, but since it is on such an extreme angle, it's wants to pull away. Plus I don't think the strap will last at this extreme angle. Otherwise, it seems like a nice rack, but just because etrailer says it fits your car doesn't mean it's going too.

Fits a 2017 Prius Two and seems well built.

This rack has been excellent. We transported three bicycles from MA to MN and then to Ontario on a Toyota Prius. The rack served us well.

Fits to my 2013 Prius to a Tee. So far so good. Happy with it. But noticed that the price went down a few weeks after I bought it. Bummer. Also passed up on the Whitehall rack Thule lock. Now have to buy it after further consideration

The rack wobbles a little but I haven't had any issues with it. Pretty simple to use. Only issue is that if I need to switch from an adult bike to a kid bike, I have to disassemble the rack to fit the different wheel base. I discovered this at a time when I didn't have any tools with me. Oops. Very simple, light rack. I'm happy with the price and the customer service.

Love this carrier. It is so adjustable I can get a regular bike as well as my SWB Bachetta recumbent on it. It did start to move some and I determined that there are 2 allen bolts that needed to be tightened where the main portion meets the trays and that solved the problem. They are underneath so not easily apparent.

Bought this rack because I for some reason are more comfortable (perhaps more used to) the hanging style bike rack. It reminded me of the Thule 4 bike rack that I have and like so much (at much less money). I am very pleased with quality of this rack. At first glance it appears to be built magnificently. Delivery was very speedy. Rack was packaged great with minimal assembly required.

I am unhappy with my purchase as I am unable to access my hatch on my 2013 Prius.

Fits my 2014 Prius well. I used an e-bike for it and it handled the weight well. I took the battery off to help. The one thing that bothered me is the rubber straps seem to come off a little too easy. Other than that it's great and holding on to it for regular bikes.

TLDR: Awesome. Easy. Secure at 80 mph. I have really enjoyed this Kuat rack over the past year. Installation was straightforward (just crank down on that tightening bolt through the hitch!), and I can move the rack on and off the car without too much effort. The rack weighs around ~30 lbs if I recall correctly. This rack keeps my bike safe with no problem going 80 mph down I-10 across west texas or over subpar roads in town. It takes seconds to load and unload the bikes. No fidgeting for 10 minutes to secure the bike. No ratchets to come loose and drop your bike on the road behind you, which I recently saw. :/ Just quickly load up your bike(s) and go. And yes, it can all be operated one-handed while holding a bike or a bag. The tilt down mechanism is great when bikes are loaded on the rack, and I need to access my hatchback area. Otherwise, I can open the hatchback on my Prius without a problem when the rack is folded up. Prius side note: I had a 1-1/4 hitch installed for this rack. Love it! I really appreciate etrailer's videos and pricing. Thanks!

I am so glad I bought the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 hitch bike rack. It looks so good and it fits so good into my Prius. I drove with it this morning and my bike has never been so secured with the integrated locking cable and rattle free design. Assembly was also easy and it took me only thirty minutes to do it. I totally recommend this to any avid biker who is contemplating on buying a decent bike rack.

First, etrailers.com is the BEST! Okay, this rack is amazing. If it was made in the U.S.A, I believe it would be closer to $ 800.00+, it's not, thus the incredible price point, imo. Incredible craftmanship, sturdy, versatile, nice to look at, as well. Very detailed instructions included. Fits my 2015 Prius 4 perfectly. Our beach cruises both required adaptor bars. I opted to wait on the bike rack, to ensure a good fit, etc. then purchase the adaptor bars. After much research, I went with Delta adaptors, I wish etrailers.com carried them, but they do not. Nevertheless, this rack is tops, highly recommend. Thank you for reading!
