To haul a bike rack with your 2020 Prius, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # EH53VR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Prius with included hardware. I recommend this specific hitch because it has a 2" receiver. A 2" receiver allows you to use any bike rack on the market. It has a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity so plenty of strength to support a bike rack.

Another reason I really like this hitch is that the main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover. This not only looks better but it helps with ground clearance.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see the set up process.

The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Item # 24966, you were looking at, does fit your Prius. However, this is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. Using this hitch will extremely limit your options in bike racks.

Hey Jan, so we had a customer come back and tell us that they were able to install the Curt hitch #C77NR on their 2024 Kia Niro EV Wave and it worked well so it can for sure fit.
