I may have an option that will work for you, however the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Class V Hitch, # 41947, is a custom fit hitch designed for full size pickup trucks. Frames on trailers are typically wider than frames on vehicles and the frame width can differ between trailer manufacturers. Because of this, trailer hitch manufacturers offer adjustable width trailer hitches. Unfortunately there are no custom fit trailer hitches for certain makes and models of trailers.

The Draw-Tite Hitch, # 24847, and the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch, # 60263 (no longer available), are basically the same hitch so they both have the same ground clearance and side profile. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are sister companies that use the same design process for their trailer hitches. The top of the receiver tube for both trailer hitches will sit 4-3/4 inches below the frame rails on your 2012 Toyota Prius V.

Both of these hitches are approximately 3 inches from the hitch pin hole to the edge of your bumper, as you can see in the accompanying... view full answer...
While the EcoHitch part # 306-X7369 is a 2 inch hitch, it does have lower weight capacities more associated with 1-1/4 inch hitches of 2,000 lbs trailer and 300 lbs tongue weight, since this hitch is designed to fit a lower capacity tow vehicle, the Prius Prime, it has the lower towing capacity. The larger hitch size does give you more options for hitch accessories since 2 inch hitch accessories are the most popular. view full answer...
Trailer Hitch Pins like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-5/8" Span - Chrome # e98880 and # e98881 you were looking at do not have a specific weight rating due to them being so much stronger than the rest of the components used for towing.
A hitch pins like the # e98880 and # e98881 will still be holding long after the tow bar, ball mount, or trailer hitch receiver has failed.

It is possible to use your 2 inch accessories in a class II, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch. You would have to use a hitch expander, 1-1/4 to 2 inch. However, the use of an expander will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent.
It appears that the vast majority of trailer hitches for a 2011 Toyota Camry have a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. When using an expander, like # 80303, that capacity will be cut down to 150 pounds. This means that the weight of any... view full answer...
