    I’m getting mixed info! Who out there has towed their Prius behind their RV in car dolly (2 wheels up) and had no issues?? We were really looking forward to towing my Prius but then it came back & said NOPE! but from what I’m reading I think that is more for Tow truck towing because of the rear bumper clearance... any input welcome!

    This is an issue that I now face! Just bought a used class A motor home this weekend and will be looking into tow dolly optons for the Prius. Any thoughts on tow dolly brands that work best for the Prius? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

    FYI: I came across this option by American Car Dolly. They state that theirs are low profile that would be suitable for towing the Prius. Has anyone used this brand? Thanks. :unsure:

    I will probably be in this same situation soon with my prime. Though I may just get a flatbed to tow it on. (saves rear tire wear)
    The real card up my sleeve will be charging the prime while driving down the highway. :eek::cool::D
