    Has anyone towed with a Gen 4 Prius yet? I have a small utility trailer and was wondering if it was doable?

    According to the blurb and the handbook, it's a big no to hauling a trailer. Some on other threads have used a square tow-hitch with a rack or small platform. I believe this incurs a fuel penalty from the extra drag but it's just about the best option. Hope this helps a little.
