***IMPORTANT NOTICE:
While EcoHitch®️ trailer hitches are built with high-strength materials and tested for exceptional weight ratings, your vehicle’s factory towing capacities are the ultimate limit. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine its maximum towing and tongue weight ratings. No aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacities.
Using hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, bike racks, or other accessories that extend the load out from the trailer hitch, will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system.
To estimate how your setup will affect tongue weight, we recommend using our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator before hauling your payload (cargo trays, bike racks, etc).
Disclaimer: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe towing practices and to confirm that all loads fall within the limits of the lowest-rated component in the towing system. Torklift is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from the misuse or overloading of towing/hauling equipment.

What is the towing capacity of the EcoHitch for a 2010-2015 Toyota Prius?
The EcoHitch towing capacity for a 2010-2015 Toyota Prius is rated for 2,000 pounds towing weight and 300 pounds tongue weight at the trailer ball. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
What size receiver does the EcoHitch have?
The EcoHitch receiver size for the 2010-2015 Toyota Prius is a 2-inch receiver, which is the world's only 2-inch receiver for this vehicle and allows compatibility with all your existing hitch accessories without adapters. Avoiding the use of adapters eliminates play and access movement of hitch accessories.
Does installing the EcoHitch require drilling into my Prius?
No, installing the EcoHitch on a 2010-2015 Toyota Prius does not require drilling because it offers 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required and meets national SAE J684 towing safety standards. This bolt-on approach supports a clean install while meeting the stated towing safety standard for this application. Mounting alignment is confirmed during application development so the hitch installs to the intended attachment points as designed when installed per instructions.
Will the EcoHitch be visible on my Toyota Prius?
The EcoHitch is minimally visible on a Toyota Prius because it has a completely concealed hidden design where only the receiver is visible when not in use, maintaining your Prius's sleek appearance. This concealed configuration is driven by owner preference for a hidden hitch that preserves the rear styling during daily driving while keeping the receiver accessible for towing and accessories. Receiver placement and bumper-area clearances are confirmed during development so the cross tube remains out of sight as intended when installed as instructed.
Can I use the EcoHitch for both bike racks and towing?
Yes, you can use the EcoHitch for both bike racks and towing because it is a versatile combo rack and tow hitch that allows you to tow or use a bike rack without needing any additional accessories or adapters. This adapter-free design aligns with how Prius owners typically use a 2-inch receiver across multiple tasks while keeping setup simple and eliminating conversion parts. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
What vehicles is this EcoHitch compatible with?
This EcoHitch is compatible with 2010-2015 Toyota Prius and Prius Plugin models and it does not interfere with auto-latching and unlatching hatches on vehicles that include this feature. This coverage is based on application development for the listed Prius and Prius Plugin models, focusing on a hitch layout that preserves normal hatch operation while adding towing and accessory capability. Fitment and rear-end packaging are confirmed so the hitch integrates as intended when installed per instructions on the specified vehicles.
What warranty does the EcoHitch come with?
The EcoHitch comes with Torklift's Legendary Lifetime Warranty and is proudly made in the USA, providing long-term coverage and support aligned with the hitch’s materials and manufacturing controls. Legendary Lifetime Warranty coverage is included with the EcoHitch as stated, giving Prius owners warranty-backed confidence for towing and accessory use over the long term.
How does using a bike rack or cargo tray affect the tongue weight capacity?
Using a bike rack or cargo tray affects tongue weight capacity because hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, or bike racks that extend the load out from the trailer hitch will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2010 - 2015 Toyota Prius at home because it is a bolt-on installation that does not require the bumper to be removed and only standard hand tools are needed, though professional installation support is available if you prefer that option. If you prefer for installation to be done by a professional installer, we have a large network of certified installers across the country. Visit our Certified Dealer Locator here.
