    Does anyone know of a small cargo trailer that a Prius can pull and that doesn't cost an arm and leg. Can't find a cargo rack that fits on trailer hitch. I found the hitch now I need something to attach to it.:confused::confused::confused:

    There is a yahoo group called priustrailers; they may have a suggestion. They certainly agree with you that Prius can tow.

    I have a SportsRig micro trailer and like it a lot. It isn't cheap, but it is very well made and pulls smoothly with a light load. Many cheap utility trailers bounce like crazy when lightly loaded. Not this one.

    Yakima makes a slightly more expensive aluminum version of the SportsRig, which is essentially a knock off. I went with the SportsRig since the steel construction is more durable, the price is lower, and I don't like the notion of Yakima stealing the design from a smaller company.
