    I know there are a few post on this but I have question. Does anyone have a picture or videos of towing with a Prius C. Would tire size make a difference? Why do they make a custom tow hitch for a C but not a wire harness?

    Tow hitches for a c are for bicycle racks, not for anything big enough to need lights.

    Here in the US, Toyota does not recommend that my Toyota Echo should pull a trailer, but the same exact Echo may pull a trailer in Australia and Canada. Same car.
    As for the Prius:

    I did a google search for "prius trailer", then clicked "images", and saw many Prii pulling trailers.

    I know they make a hitch for a Prius C but do they make the wiring harness? Thanks:ROFLMAO:

    Check etrailer.com Probably the best source. I have bought a couple hitches and wiring sets from them and have been very satisfied.

    Etrailer had the universal ones, were you have to slice the wires. I am looking for a T connecter flat 4 for towing. I know they have them for a PRIUS but I need one for a PRIUS C. Thanks.
