Will a Trailer hitch on a 2014 Toyota Prius V Hang Down Further than the Exhaust
Question:
I just wanted to make sure that this hitch wont hinder the clearance on my Prius V. It looks like its actually higher than the exhaust pipe. Is this true?? Thanks,

It does appear that the trailer hitch for your 2014 Toyota Prius V does sit up as high if not higher than the exhaust pipe as you can see in the video I have linked showing installation. But in the video that is hitch # C11276. It should be the same on the Draw-Tite hitch though, # 24847.
The 2014 Prius V is not designed for towing so if using the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier make sure that the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, for bike racks, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
