***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 I put a trailer hitch on my 2020 Toyota Prius?
Yes, you can put a trailer hitch on a 2020 Toyota Prius because the EcoHitch trailer hitch is designed specifically for 2016-2022 Toyota Prius models with a completely concealed design, 100% bolt-on installation, and no drilling required. This application was developed for Prius owners who want a hidden hitch that preserves the rear appearance while still providing a functional receiver for towing and accessories. Fitment and rear-bumper clearances are confirmed during development so the hitch installs cleanly using the intended mounting points when installed per instructions.
What is the receiver size on the EcoHitch for the 2020 Prius?
The EcoHitch receiver size on the 2020 Prius is a 2" receiver, which is the world's only 2" receiver for this vehicle and allows you to use all your existing hitch accessories without extra adapters that cause movement or rattling. This 2" receiver format matches the most common hitch accessory size for bike racks, cargo trays, and towing equipment, which is why many Prius owners prioritize a true 2-inch receiver option. The receiver interface is developed for direct accessory compatibility so you can use your existing hitch accessories without adding adapter hardware.
What is the towing capacity of the EcoHitch for the 2020 Toyota Prius?
The EcoHitch towing capacity for the 2020 Toyota Prius is rated for 2,500 pounds towing weight and 375 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 or modifications to install?
No, the EcoHitch does not require drilling or modifications to install because it offers 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required, maintaining your Prius's sleek appearance while meeting national SAE J684 towing safety standards. This install method supports a clean, no-drill trailer hitch installation that avoids permanent changes while meeting the stated towing safety standard for this application. Mounting alignment and concealed packaging are confirmed during application development so the hitch installs as intended when installed per instructions.
Can the EcoHitch handle E-bikes on a bike rack?
Yes, the EcoHitch can handle E-bikes on a bike rack because it is E-bike rated with a 375-pound tongue weight capacity, designed to handle the extra weight of E-bikes without requiring additional straps. This rating supports heavier bike rack loads that are common with hitch-mounted bike racks and modern E-Bike transport. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Will the hitch be visible on my 2020 Prius?
The EcoHitch is minimally visible on a 2020 Prius because it features a completely concealed hidden design where only the receiver is visible, maintaining your Prius's sleek appearance. This concealed hitch layout is driven by owner preference for a hidden trailer hitch that preserves the vehicle’s 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 per instructions.
What is the tongue weight limit when using cargo trays or bike racks?
Using cargo trays or bike racks affects tongue weight limit because hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, or bike racks that extend the load from the hitch will significantly reduce tongue weight capacity. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Is the EcoHitch covered by a warranty?
Yes, the EcoHitch is covered by a Legendary Lifetime Warranty and is proudly made in the USA, providing long-term coverage and support aligned with the hitch’s design 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.
Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2016-2022 Toyota Prius at home because it is a bolt-on installation using standard hand tools, 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.
