Saw this at Costco in Washington state...It was an older single axle trailer.What do you think? Sorry I didn't get more photos. Was in a hurry.

Yikes.The Prius has no tow rating from Toyota - it is not designed to tow anything.

Not a problem, the engine is powerful. It's going to glide silently in traffic jams.

It didn't seem to be squatting. I wish I could have gotten a closer look, but I was bringing home dinner.I think the guy is out of his mind.

The CVT tranny isn't up to pulling anything (we have a '10) and Toyota will void the warranty in a heartbeat.

Lucky to get 200ft down a Highway in Australia with loads like that. Usually other motorists/Large Truck drivers ring the police.

Some city folk don't understand the need for a truck or trailer. I see this most often closer to larger cities.
