My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #3 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 |  Towing a motorcycle with the Prius I have an 08 Prius and I have read in the owners manual that it says not to tow anything with the car. I am wondering though if by any chance it is safe to tow a 500lb sport bike behind my car. I'm towing it from Oregon to Arizona and before I actually do it I figured I would ask to see if anyone else has done this or thinks I could get away with it? |

There is a yahoo! group called priustrailers dedicated to the topic. And yes, Toyota specifically does not recommend towing w/Prius. My primary concern would be your skill at driving this setup (no offense intended), because that is an expensive toy to pull in trail. |
