***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.

Can you put a trailer hitch on a 2012-2017 Toyota Prius V?
Yes, you can put a trailer hitch on a 2012-2017 Toyota Prius V because the EcoHitch is specifically designed for these model years with 100% bolt-on installation and no drilling required. This application is built around Prius V owner priorities for a straightforward, no-drill trailer hitch install that keeps the rear of the vehicle clean while adding towing and hitch accessory capability. Fitment and mounting alignment are confirmed during development so the hitch installs to the intended attachment points as designed when installed per instructions.
What is the towing capacity of the EcoHitch for the Prius V?
The EcoHitch towing capacity for the Prius V is rated for 3,500 pounds towing capacity and 525 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.
Does the EcoHitch require drilling for installation?
No, the EcoHitch does not require drilling for installation because it features 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required and meets national SAE J684 towing safety standards. This no-drill approach supports customers who want a secure hitch install without permanent modifications while meeting the stated towing safety standard for this application. Application development confirms the hitch uses the intended mounting locations so it installs as designed when installed per instructions.
Can the EcoHitch be used for both bike racks and towing?
Yes, the EcoHitch can be used for both bike racks and towing because it is a versatile combo hitch that allows you to tow or use a bike rack without needing any additional accessories or adapters. This adapter-free setup matches how many Prius V owners use a single receiver for towing, racks, and cargo carriers while keeping accessory compatibility straightforward. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Will the EcoHitch be visible on my Prius V?
The EcoHitch is minimally visible on the Prius V because it features a completely concealed hidden design where only the receiver is visible, maintaining your Prius V's sleek appearance. This concealed hitch layout aligns with owner preference for a hidden trailer hitch that does not distract from the vehicle’s rear styling during daily driving while keeping the receiver ready for towing and accessories. Receiver placement and bumper-area clearances are confirmed during development so the cross tube stays out of sight as intended when installed per instructions.
Can the EcoHitch handle E-bikes?
Yes, the EcoHitch can handle E-bikes because it is E-bike rated with a 525-pound tongue weight capacity, designed to handle the extra weight of E-bikes without requiring additional straps. This rating supports modern, heavier E-Bike loads on compatible hitch-mounted racks. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Can installing a hitch increase my Prius V's towing capacity?
No, installing a hitch cannot increase your Prius V's towing capacity because no aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle's factory-rated towing capacities and you should always refer to your owner's manual for maximum ratings. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
What receiver size does the EcoHitch have?
The EcoHitch receiver size for the 2012-2017 Toyota Prius V is the world's only 2" receiver for the Prius V, providing the highest weight ratings on the market for both towing and hauling. This 2" receiver format supports common hitch accessories like bike racks and cargo trays while keeping the setup compatible with standard 2-inch accessory hardware.

You can install the EcoHitch for the 2012-2017 Toyota Prius V 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.

I used it on my personal 2015 Prius V for 82k miles until I sold and moved it on a 2017 Prius V that I got from work, and after additional 125k miles, it's still like brand new.
Now we're about to purchase a 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid, and guess what brand 2" Trailer Hitch I will be buying...
