Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Toyota Prius Prime
Question:
Which hitch would you recommend for a 2017 Prius prime
asked by: Marco S
Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Prius Prime I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. This hitch has a concealed cross tube which will help maintain a factory look, and a 200 lb maximum tongue weight for your accessories.
I see you also looked at the Curt # C11473. It is virtually identical when compared to the Draw-Tite. The reason I would choose the Draw-Tite over the Curt is because the Curt requires the use of the # 18050 stabilizer straps for all non-trailer loads.
If you let me know what you plan to use the hitch for I would be happy to make additional recommendations should you need them. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
