Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible With Toyota Prius C Model
Question:
Given that there is only one generation of the Toyota Prius C to date, why is there only a Tow Hitch for years 2012-2014 and not for 2015-2017? What has changed? Thanks

We have a confirmed fit for your Toyota Prius C in the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24971 or the Curt # C11484. These hitches are confirmed to fit model years 2012-2017.
If you need a ball mount, I recommend the Sportframe Drawbar 2-1/8" Rise or 2-3/4" Drop 2000 lb Kit # 3593 along with a ball mount like # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. For wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56275. I've linked a video of this installation for you.
