Hi all,
I'm looking for a 2" receiver hitch for my '08 Prius for hauling bikes around. It seems like the 2" would be more stable and solid than the more popular 1 1/4" hitch, but I'm having a tough time finding any companies that make the larger receiver hitch for the Prius. The only company I've found so far that makes a custom 2" receiver is Coastaletech - and their product is exactly what I'm looking for but I am curious if anyone knows of any other companies so I can compare prices? Thanks a bunch for any help!

 

I use a 1 1/4" and it is plenty strong. Hidden hitch. H

 

It depends on the number of bikes. I got a 2" receiver from Coastaltech and took it to a local welding shop to have them install a "tank strap" to stiffen the mount up for 4 bikes.

 

Your are probably correct to go with a 2". Four bikes is alot too hang on the back of a PriusI hope they are light weight bikes!
Good luck, Hal
