Recommended Hitch for a 2014 Prius C

Question

Question:

I am considering adding a hitch to a 2014 Prius C. The hitch would be for a bike rack only. Not towing. I am looking for a hitch that doesnt hang too low. What do you recommend? Thanks

The best hitch for a 2014 Prius C, is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7194. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Prius with included hardware. This is a 2" hitch which will work with the most bike racks on the market due to its receiver size and weight capacity. It installs behind your rear bumper cover which not only looks better but it also helps with ground clearance because it doesn't hang low.

I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like once installed. Please feel free to email me directly if you have any additional questions.
