Purchased from Gottaridebikes.com for $200.00 with their online first purchase coupon. Awesome. And the hatch opens in all three positions.

Please follow this link to Darell's page on the Curt Hitch. You also can find many threads in PriusChat that deal with this hitch and PC members' experiences (and some cost issues). | |

And they all incorporate the mods now, that Curt does, to keep exaust from burning your bumper. DrawTite was the cheapest at $94.00 from Etrailer.com. Identical to HH. Curt is a little beefier, but alot heavier and more expensive. Overkill for a Prius. | |
