2016 Toyota Prius Four Touring Trailer Hitch Recommendation
Question:
Which tow hitch would best fit my 2016 Prius Four Touring? Would it be able to tow a Uhaul trailer or camper trailer? Can I do the install myself or better to have a local shop? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Toyota Prius Four Touring the Draw Tite hitch part # 24967 is the best option as it has mostly hidden appearance and the best ground clearance. The hitch would have capacity for a lightweight trailer and the install is very basic. I attached an install video for more info. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118610 which installs easily and is very reliable.
Then for a ball mount you'd want the part # 3593 and for a hitch ball # 19256.
