Expert Reply:
As far as whether or not you can tow a trailer with your 2014 Toyota Prius you will need to check the owners manual or with a Toyota dealer for the final say on that. Our understanding is that Toyota says that you cannot tow at all with your vehicle.
With that being said we realize that some people still tow trailers with vehicles that are not recommended for towing and we do offer the parts needed for your vehicle to tow a trailer.
The Draw-Tite part # 24847 would be the hitch to use. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # C56147. You'd also need a trailer ball, like part # 19256 for the 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for the 2 inch ball
