Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Prius C
Question:
Hi. I have a 2012 Toyota Prius C. Can I install a Class 1 hitch and a Curt cargo carrier? Thanks.

You sure can!
For a hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24971. For a cargo carrier, I really like the # 63155 from Pro Series. The carrier has usable platform space of about 20 x 48 inches, and features an angled shank that increases the carrier's ground clearance by 3 inches. If you needed a cargo bag to protect your cargo from road gunk, we offer the # e98990 cargo bag that's 9 cubic feet of storage space.
