    If you check the Toyota USA Warranty and Maintenance Booklet, I believe towing is one criteria it mentions, where Toyota concedes a transaxle fluid change should be done regularly.

    There’s a link in my signature on this maintenance. 3rd Gen Prius and Prius v should be the same. On a phone turn it landscape to see signature.

    Toyota does not recommend towing, however, Toyota does recommend transaxle fluid changes under severe service conditions.

    Obviously, towing a trailer is severe service.
