We are getting a 1.25 inch tow hitch. Will this rack fit on a 2012 Prius?

Love this bike rack! It fits easily on my 2013 Prius with a 1.25 hitch. The hatch opens and closes without a problem with the bike rack on. This is not always the case when 3 bikes are loaded. Sometimes the hatch will not clear bike handles depend ending on type. Bikes load quickly and easily - we have three bikes; one men's, one woman's with big frame and no cross bar, and one large child's bike (26").

There is an adapter with the rack for the 1.25 inch tow hitch. I have a bigger hitch. With my hitch I had trouble getting the rack tight. It seems to me that this would be tougher to do with the smaller hitch size. I was very fussy about having the rack tight with the hitch and used some rubber shim. That might not be necessary but it made me feel better.

On my 2011 Prius, this rack paired with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch allowed the hatch to clear the rack without tipping down the rack. The rack has a tip down feature to allow access to the hatch if it hadn't cleared, but the ability to open the hatch without moving the rack is a nice feature for Prius owners. It is close enough that manufacturing variation, or a different hitch, might make this not clear. BTW, my mechanic charged me 30 minutes labor to install the hitch.

It came with two installation bolts and is really easy to convert from 2" to 1 1/4.

Like Martin said, it's shaft is one and a quarter inch and you add an adapter for a two inch receiver. It swings down easily and clears the way for me to open my rear hatch on my 2012 Subaru Forester but I can't say if it would clear a Pius. I can't imagine any other possible issues.

Yes. This rack is by default a 1.25 inch size but an expander plate is included to increase its size to 2 inches. If the hitch you install accepts either 1.25 or 2 inches, it will work.

I'm sorry I don't know...I asked my son who has the rack, but he is using it on their Toyota mini van.

They fit fine on my 2011 Prius and, since the 2012 is still a "Third Generation" Prius,' as long as it has 15 inch wheels, they should work fine. Other than missing the little Toyota logo in the center, they are virtually identical to the original equipment wheels

The hitch has been great. I'm sure the brackets will work. Call hitch Source or the manufacturer to confirm bracket size, I'm not around mine currently to measure, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the hitch!

It fit my 2008 Prius. Don't know if application is the same for 2012 Prius.

The clips that hold it on have rubber on them and are spring loaded, so yes it should fit perfectly. I'm not the seller, but I've seen pics of the Prius mirror.

Amazon has a function called "My Garage" where on your Amazon account you enter your car and year and when you consider a bike rack it will tell you if it fits your vehicle. I also believe there is a tab where it lists the different cars each model fits but I think the best way to check is thru the My Garage function. FYI- the car I use this on is a 2013 Prius but again check for your own car thru the methods I mentioned. Good luck!

if you have a tow hitch I don't see why not. It is designed for a 1" or 2" inch hitch.

The one I've owned, I've had on a 2010 Prius, 2012 Hyundai Accent and a 2014 Jeep Compass. It fit each one. I'm sure it would fit a 2005 Prius.

Most likely yes, it all hooks up in the rear of the car, I bought mine with hesitation and it went in like click work. If that's the package that they recommended then I would go with it. I put mine on a standard 2012 Prius and it was a perfect fit..Good luck to you....

It is made to fit both 1.25" and 2" hitch receivers. I believe your hitch is a 1.25", so you should be good.

I installed them on a 2008 Prius. They fit perfectly but it's best to have the assistance of a second person during the swap ... the hatch needs to be held up while each strut is installed !

I do not have a prius but I do have a rouge. I feel that it will fit most vehicles because of its diversity. It was a great buy and I love it. Good luck in you decision.

I got ours for a full-size 3/4-ton Chevy pickup and it is plenty big. Am sure it would be too large for a Prius.

I believe it will fit the 2013 Prius but you have to have the 6.1" display for the audio system. If you do it will be simple plug and play. The night vision is good and you do not lose any of the license plate lights.

My '02 prius had very different wheels than my 2011 prius, so I cannot say. The center hub opening might be the same size, but you'd probably need to measure.
