    Does anybody make a tow hitch for the classic Prius? I see coastal tech has something, but they don't recommend actually using it to tow. Mind you, I'm not looking to haul a lot with it. I only have a small trailer I bring to the local home supply center every now and then to pick up wood, sheetrock, etc.... If I could find a hitch, it would keep me from needing to insure a different vehicle of mine that can tow. I would also likely take the hitch off when it wasn't needed, so I wouldn't have to worry about the extra weight affecting MPG.

    Here's the first ever built by a hitch installer... detail & photos

    It worked great. I loved it. Very handy.

    thanks, but unfortunately, that hitch is not designed for the classic. It's for the G2 only.
