Hi Calvin!
The two Draw-Tite hitches for a 2014 Toyota Prius V ( # 24967 and # 24847) are Class 1 hitches, which means they are rated for 200 pounds of tongue weight. With the Thule Epos # TH99XE weighing 38 pounds and your bikes totaling 100 pounds, you will be within that capacity of either hitch, so you are good to go!
