Does the Prius have a frame? If not, it would seem risky to stress the unit. Sounds a bit like putting a hitch on a beer can and hoping for the best.
Just a quick Google shows the '03 Explorers had a max tow capacity of 7k depending on setup, whereas the new pseudo Explorers come in at 5k. I stand to be corrected as I'm no expert, but I believe the older Explorers had a Ranger frame, where as the new ones are a Taurus platform.
