Safety warning: If you mount the pivoting arm upside down, you may not be using it in the way that it was engineered to be used. It is possible that the pin assembly for holding the (empty) carrier in the upright position is only designed to handle a small force. Seriously reconsider the potential for that pin or hole to shear off when you hit a bump. And remember, the laws of the road WILL hold you responsible for damage to others if this thing is involved in an accident and was improperly used. You are responsible to use carriers safely, because people can get killed if cargo comes loose at highway speeds.
This!! And I would use u bolts around the structural metal of the tow rack, that grate is likely not rated to pressure at the individual points. Oh, and washers on both sides
This is a great point. Having it able to fold down to open the back is great but it's clearly designed to be sitting on the main frame of the hitch extension, instead of all the weight on a pin.
@@LiveEasy I'm looking at installing straps on a rod that goes in the rear cargo space. Then close the hatch on the straps and secure the straps to the cargo tray at the ends. Not super tight as it's not really meant to bear weight; just help stabilize.
In 2020, I'm going to be selling all of my belongings and move into my pruis full time. I will spend the next few years traveling through 49 states (I will fly to Hawaii so the prius won't be making that journey 😜). I'm going to basically clone your prius set up! 😬 Winning the giveaway would be a sweet deal and save $$$!
@@mtwata I didn't plan for that at all 🤣😅 I seriously did every what if scenario except that one. However, I did end up getting on the road and have been traveling the states.
If I happen to win your drawing, instead of sending me the stuff. Can I get a video of you buying $250 worth of Taco Bell and during the order every other word has to be 'heck'?
@@LiveEasy Hey there. I have been back and forth on what would be the best option, a cargo box hitch or roof top box. The roof top carrier seems like it would be much harder getting things off and on from roof. The hitch seems a lot easier, my biggest issue could be the exhaust fumes spraying on the cargo, especially if you use the generator of the car for ac or heat when sleeping/camping, or driving, and stopping for whatever reason with the vehicle on. What is your opinion on that?
You are spot on with the convenience of the hitch box over the roof carrier. Plus it acts as an always-ready table surface AND is less harmful to fuel economy.
One idea maybe you’ve thought of maybe you haven’t. But you could buy a piece of wood or metal cut to the size of the box to sit on the screws to help with the exposed screws potentially getting in the way of things you’d wanna put in the box. And as a plus there’d be a small hidden area underneath to put things in as well that maybe you don’t want extremely visible. You’d lose some space and of course it may not be extremely secure. Maybe there’s a way to secure it not sure. And you couldn’t put too much weight on it unless you secured it. But I think it’d be a good way to store things especially flat boxes or the like that wouldn’t sit even against those screws.
Just the fact that you are asked about most of all about it makes me want to not use my time on it. I have been researching so much and the thing needs to look official, not theft worthy and no eye soared so maybe a clean look to it for officialness like not a crate in the back. No diy look and black for anti theft. Or dark blue with minimal shine with the look of it being bolted to the car and lastly not an eye soared. So slim but possibly flat like on the back of the trunk. I have not yet found this state of the art amazing object but I surely will and I will make a video about it and send it to you . I am a prius owner but I am a renter I just want to upgrade my prius with space!
Awesomeness!! The only “improvement” I’d recommend is adding another flat washer to each bolt on the inside between the bottom of the box and the lock nuts.
Looks real nice. I did the same but used a Husky heavy duty fiberglass tool box instead of aluminum. By the way I didn't see you use any washers when you tighten the bolt inside. I would think a large bump could rip that bolt right head out. For our longer trips in our class B rv I also used straps as extra insurance as you cant be too careful flying 70 mph down the freeway with a box carrying a ton of stuff.
I would think a light coat of white or gray spray paint on the back or scuffing the aluminum with sandpaper would potentially reduce glare at night from other cars following you. I like the idea of the solar lights for the license plate!
Thank you! Great video! I'm going to make this for my Crosstrek. Just curious about what kind and capacity is the cargo carrier box that you have on your car?
@@LiveEasy thanks! Is yours 11 cubic feet? Does that provide a good amount of storage with the trailer hitch cargo box combined? I'm outfitting my car to sleep inside it so want as much external storage capacity.
@@jstein814 11 was enough for me. If I remember correctly, it’s about the same as the metal box. I was also trying to prioritize fuel economy with the slimmer one. Put the more valuable stuff either inside with you or in the thule. The metal box can be opened with a pry bar by a crackhead in Dallas, TX…or so I’ve heard…
It should have been made of a plastic garden box and the top should have been topped with a solar panel. The boot organiser is brilliant and I'm going to pinch that idea. A separate small battery and LED downlight with a lid switch would just top it off. The riser is a must for nearly everyone with a gutter.

They lump these scheduled videos in the same category as sub videos, which really isn't where they belong and it only serves to aggravate us.
@@LiveEasy The male end of the bolt should be pointing out of the toolbox and through the carrier. This way the bolt won't scratch or tear any of your belongings that you stow way inside the box.
The nut is on the inside of the box so that it is not easy to remove the box without access to the inside. There is no worry of the bolts scratching my belongings inside there (clothes) because there is a hanging closet organizer that holds everything. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I've got a trailer hitch cargo rack and a tool box. I can carry so much 💩 in there. Get this it fits perfectly I can open the tailgate door. This setup improves MPG. On my prius V it doesn't block license plate or taillights. If it scratches the ground just be prepared to replace some bolts in about 5 years.
Absolutely love this video really appreciate it! I have a very similar set up to you and I am currently trying to find a custom riser like you have to bring your box up. I can’t find one anywhere so I think I’m gonna have to have somebody make one for me. I noticed that a couple of your pictures were from Tiburon and the bay area and I’m wondering if you’re still local? With any luck I’ll be able to have your friend make one for me and of course pay him generously for the work
Hey Jimmy! I’m actually in Ohio and so is that friend, but if you contact a welder who has some spare square tubing, and you bring them a short riser, they should be able to help. 🙂
Does this setup affect fuel economy on a Prius? I'm about to do this on my Prius, but I don't want the wind to blow against it and decrease my fuel economy.... but I want the biggest possible tool box I can fit
You definitely will take a hit to the fuel economy, but It was still certainly worth it for me. I get 44 mpg normally, and 38 with all this. 38 mpg in a vehicle with so much storage is pretty sick.
@@LiveEasy okay thanks, but I'm not talkin about the rooftop carrier also. I'm only talking about the hitch rack. I figured only the rooftop carrier would decrease fuel economy, not the hitch rack
@@LiveEasy are you saying your fuel economy dropped to 38 MPG with the hitch toolbox only? Or with the hitch toolbox COMBIBED with your rooftop carrier?
How will you know to tie my fb or instagram accounts with this subscription? This upside down hitch explains how to add a bike rack/box combo on my Prius. Thanks.
I don't have a little SUV I have a 4x4 2500 suburban because I am 6'2 240 and they don't build a hybrid car that I will fit in comfortably also I can go so many places that your little toy car can't where can you go that I can't that I would want to and 6 inches of snow also doesn't stop me from getting where I need to go
Yeah, well my hot air balloon takes me to places that your little toy suburban cant. Not sure why you seem to be upset, but everyone has their own priorities. Personally, I wanted to be able to travel long distances without being concerned for the cost. With the number of miles I have traveled, the fuel economy difference between the Prius and a suburban has paid for the cost of my vehicle three times over. I understand the cost savings is not what everyone optimizes for. Enjoy your suburban.
With the add-ons and removed back seat, more than I need actually. I was able to long term travel out of it, plus carry all the video production gear I needed to work on the road (which took up all the rooftop storage). Some folks pull a small cargo trailer with a Prius, but I aim for minimalism and needing less. It’s not everyone of course.
@@LiveEasy to prevent the bolt being ripped out of the toolbox. Aluminum is thin and not as strong as steel. The washer expands the load making it stronger
Isn't Prius tongue torque 200 lbs max? That box you placed looks heavy... around 30lbs... and as I recall those converters can be 10lbs. Hope this will not be risky for your car. I got another cargo carrier but for 1 1/4 (got a corolla). I hope to do something similar to yours.
It definitely is heavy. It lowers the back of the vehicle. The car seem to do fine with it being on there. Was on mine all the time for a couple years.
I think the best thing about it, and the reason it is even better than the overhead cargo compartment, is because it acts as a table that is always set up and ready to go.
@@LiveEasy can you give me some advice on my channel? I just got monetized, and my channel is just like yours, but the only video of mine getting a lot of views is my Prius camper build video (we spoke a while back). My other videos aren't getting many views I don't know if it's my thumbnails, titles, or what. Any advice would be greatly appreciated th-cam.com/channels/HIIPPKXU5J_xqqkAo9Swkg.html
Congratulations on getting monetized. Glad to hear your camping video is doing well. Your channel seems to be doing well. Clicked on your 12v video and something that's a critical change is to move the intro to later. If you want a graphic intro like that, I'd make it half as long (or less) and have it play after you've already introduced the topic of the video, and hopefully hooked the audience. Starting slowly is fine for movies, but on TH-cam, people aren't patient enough and it hurts your retention. Next, research using Tubebuddy. Once you learn how it works, it's essential if you want to give your videos their best shot at success. Good luck!
@@LiveEasy awesome, thanks. I'm going to try not using the intro then. I think you're right, now I wish I didn't use an intro at all on any videos. What all can you do on tube buddy? I actually already still have it but it doesn't seem useful, maybe I'll look into it more
The roof top storage in Korea that would fit my car costs over 1.3million in Korean Won(same as almost $1200) 😣😣 I call you as 금손 which means golden hands👏👏👏! That represents people who are so good at making stuffs like you. Even cargo carriers on the market in your country look so cheap comparing to the normal prices in where I am living. 😔😔
Bikes and trucks get it, a car with a trailer can also get it. Basically the death wobbles are from weight shift, Having weight out over the back can causes it, but usually it's towed weight. Actually I'd say it's to do with over correcting by the driver.
@@LiveEasy I appreciate the response! Truth be told, I saw your Prius tour video at the beginning of lockdown and it inspired me to sell everything I own, buy a Prius, and I’ve been living in it full time ever since. Comfortably too, thanks to your tutorials! Best decision I ever made. You’re changing lives man! ❤️

Tank slapper nightmare ! Not to mention the bouncy factor!
What’s a tank slapper?
Bikes and trucks get it, a car with a trailer can also get it. Basically the death wobbles are from weight shift, Having weight out over the back can causes it, but usually it's towed weight. Actually I'd say it's to do with over correcting by the driver.
Gotcha. I haven’t had any bounce issues since adding the tighteners.
Cmon wind blow
Huh?
Could you show attaching it to the car? Please & thanks!
You just slide it into the hitch post and put the pin in.
2.5 years after following this tutorial and I’m still very happy with it. Thanks!
Thanks for dropping by share your positive experience! Makes it so worth it
@@LiveEasy I appreciate the response! Truth be told, I saw your Prius tour video at the beginning of lockdown and it inspired me to sell everything I own, buy a Prius, and I’ve been living in it full time ever since. Comfortably too, thanks to your tutorials! Best decision I ever made. You’re changing lives man! ❤️
