Friends: 0 |  Used 05 or 06 Prius and towing Hello everyone, I am looking forward to buy a used 05 or 06 Prius and I wondering is there anything that I should be aware of before I purchase the car. Also does anyone recommend installing towing unit on Prius. Mostly I will be towing a 400 pound scooter. Thanks for the answers Ray |

Friends: 4 | Re: Used 05 or 06 Prius and towing One Priuschatter towed a trailer while moving, said it elevated the MG2 (motor/gen) temperature. Said he wouldn't tow again. I wouldn't tow or use a hitch/ moto carrier with a Prius. Better to get a Matrix, Rav4, etc... for towing a trailer. |
