Most Popular Locks Not Included for 2017 Toyota Prius

I bought this (and a receiver) from etrailer for my Prius V (2012). I'm using it to carry a Trek Mamba (29er). The carrier looks to be well made. It's easy to install and take off. And easy to load one bike (I've never carried two on it). I see the carrier flex a little side-to-side sometimes when going over bumps. But it's minor - I don't feel like it's going to fail. I'd buy this carrier (or another Swagman product) again.

Really impressed with this -- quick ordering process, fast delivery (even during the COVID-19 pandemic), easy assembly and install to our 2014 Prius... all great! Husband with not a lot of technical skills got the bikes loaded and unloaded in just a couple of minutes. Super stable ride - no bounce or rattle that we noticed, including on the gravel parking area near the trail we rode. This is a huge upgrade from our trunk-mounted rack. I didn't see it stated anywhere - but important to know you should load the larger/heavier bike closer to the car.

I've found the TH910XT to be a really decent bike rack for usage with one or two bikes. Easy to mount and take off and great stability for long trips.

I purchased this for use on my '08 Prius. It arrived a day before the promised delivery day. Before installation I watched the etrailer install video and read the instruction booklet. The suggested setting for my vehicle was slightly off from what I chose (same thing happened in the etrailer video). After installation I loaded up my bike and headed over to a favorite riding site. The rack was securely strapped to my car. I didn't see any shifting or reason for concern, even at highway speeds. I am going to get several Velcro straps to secure the portions of the straps that are not needed. I also will strap the tires and fork to the frame. I just don't like to have the tires spinning or the fork swiveling when hauling my bike. The customer service rep, Izzy, was terrific. World class service !!

Had a bike with a slanted stem slide off sideways and the bike was destroyed. Spring for the extra $$ and get something else.

Great bike rack that works well on my 2016 Prius. Easy to use and I can still open the rear door on the Prius with the bike on the rack. I regularly take my bike when I go hiking in the Smokies to ride between trailheads. Quality product at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this product.

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!

This is a solid bike rack that works very well on our Prius. etrailer was an efficient vendor.

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.

Fits a 2017 Prius Two and seems well built.

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.

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

My previous bike rack was a hitch mounted Yakima. It was sturdy but not well suited for my low Subaru Impreza. It stuck out too far and hung too low so that I had to inch my way down the driveway or over speed bumps for fear of it bottoming out. A roof rack or a rear window mounted rack was not suitable since I wanted to be able to also carry two kayaks. First, I tried to modify my rack by shortening the part that sticks out of the hitch. I tried to saw off about 6 inches so it wouldn't stick out so far but the steel was much too hard. I ended up ruining several metal-cutting blades on my power saw before I gave up. I looked for other rack options. There weren't many out there. But eventually, I found something that met my needs. I purchased the "Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Fold Down Bicycle Hitch Rack" in 2013 from eTrailer.com. The part that enters the hitch curves up to increase clearance from the ground. It is sturdy and sticks out far enough so I can still open my trunk hatch without having to lower the main vertical bar on the hitch (though I could if I wanted to). It isn't often I am really excited about a piece of gear but this hitch rack has made me worry-free when I transport my bicycle(s) via car. The only thing I don't like is that it is advertised as being a 3 bike carrier but it only fits 2 hybrid bikes. Maybe it will fit 3 skinny racing bikes but for the average rider, don't expect to fit on more than 2. But my experience is that is the case for all bicycle racks.

Nice heavy duty rack. Putting it together is quite simple if you read the instructions. I like the ability to use both a 2" or 1 1/4" receiver. etrailer is very easy to deal with.
