Friends: 1 | The only 2-inch hitch for the Prius was made by Coastal Tech. They currently have the 2-inch hitch available for the 1st-generation and 2nd-generation Prii. There has been rumors they will be coming out with a 2-inch hitch for the 3rd-generation Prius but I haven't seen anything about it in the past few months. Keep in mind however that the Coastal hitches have not had a good reliability record with various owners here on Priuschat, many of whom had the hitch fail. Some had to modify the hitch to make it stronger. So caveat emptor, when they do come out with a 3rd-gen 2-inch hitch. |

Friends: 0 | weld it to the table, cut out the old receiver, weld in a new 2" receiver. Sounds like a great plan, wbut who has the time? |

Friends: 0 | Like the idea - but as I have little arc welding experience - and am more looking for something more tested and proven - I think cutting and pasting on an existing 1 1/4" platform just does not make sense :-) ..... Still looking for something in the 2" variety ???????????? |

Friends: 0 | Called Coastal Tech inquiring about a 2" for the Prius - He said call back in a couple months Hence it looks like I'll need to look for something more creative - like changing the 1/14 to a 2" at a welding shop ...Has anyone played in this ballpark before??? |
