Local Hitch Installer for Draw-Tite Class I Hitch 24966 on 2019 Prius AWD

Question:

I just bought this car, and am unsure if the draw-tite hitch that you sell would be compatible? It is the first year that Prius has made this AWD available in the states. The hitch I am interested in is the draw-tite, part # 24966. That being said, I would need to have a professional installation. Can you recommend where I could find this? I live on Cape Cod, and there is a UHAUL branch not far from me - they sold and installed a hitch for me on my Honda CR-V, and I think they would be my best bet for an affordable installation experience if I buy my hitch from you. I am planning to use the hitch for a bike carrier only, I already own the KUAT Beta, which is what I would use on the new car as well. Thank you for your help

The Draw-Tite hitch # 24966 is a confirmed fit on all versions of the 2019 Toyota Prius.

Since this hitch installs at the rear bumper mounts, rather than on the exposed parts of the frame as with most hitches, its installation is a bit more complex than most others and so my recommendation is to use a local installer recommended by Draw-Tite. They will be apt to be more familiar with the hitch.

I sent you a link to Draw-Tite's website where you can enter your zip code to find their nearest recommended local installer. If nothing else it gives you a chance to compare installation costs while your hitch is on the way from etrailer.com.
