Hello, I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I am interested in having towing hitch receiver installed. is this something I can DIY? Or can anybody recommend a good shop in this area? Additionally, is it better to visit a Toyota dealer to get this done? Thank you,
its something you can do yourself with a 17mm socket ratchet! 2010-2015 Toyota Prius Trailer Hitch with 500lbs TW - black_jmyntrn
You can diy a hitch. I have used this one: Torklift Eco Hitch 2015 Toyota Prius v Trailer Hitch - EcoHitch The etrailer site above has a less expensive 1 1/4 lighter versions as well. Be careful of sellers on Priuschat.
It's super easy, just 4 bolts and in Gen2 Prius you have to cut a small slot in underpanel plastic. Prius V might not require that. Do you need wiring done too?
