eneumeier Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I am about to purchase a new Prius and although the website says cross bars are an option, http://www.toyota.com/configurator/#!/build/step/accessory/year/2016/series/prius/model/1227/exteriorcolor/03T7/interiorcolor/EA20/packages/option7/accessories/ the dealer is telling me they are not. Has anyone gotten a Prius with factory- or dealer-installed crossbars? What rack works best on a Prius? Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneC Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I have a 2008 Prius. I was not aware of racks at the time. I have a basic Thule. We had old bars so I just needed the feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eneumeier Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Somewhere around here I have rusty Thule bars, feet, cradles, etc. Maybe I should dig them out. I bought a new Thule set up, with Aero bars, but they are "stripped" and I don't know if I can get them off my current car. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbhazeltine Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 We have the Thule areobars on our 2011 Prius and our 2012 Prius V. The ones on the V stay on all summer. Minimal noise and milage penalty. Well work the investment. Look on craigslist for the bars and feet then get the fit kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
