Question:

Do your have 2 inch trailer hitches for 2014 Prius plug-ins? We need it for a bike rack, not for hauling a trailer.

I have a trailer hitch receiver option for you, but unfortunately the only hitch available for your 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is the Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11276. a lot of smaller cars, like your Prius Plu-In, cannot handle heavier weight capacities and so a lot of times they only have a 1-1/4 inch hitch available. The warranty that Curt has on the hitch states that for any non-trailer loads, like a bike rack or cargo carrier, you must use a Support Strap # 18050, otherwise the warranty is void. Since this is a Class I hitch, you will be limited to only a 2 bike rack.

If you do not already have a bike rack then I recommend going with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR. This bike rack has a tilting feature which will allow you to gain access to your rear cargo area with your bike(s) still loaded. Since it is a wheel mount bike rack it will be able to hold just about any bike frame style, aside from bikes that have fenders.
