Prius towing a travel trailer? Yes.

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.

  • looks to me it is hooked to the little suv you can see the roof it is the third car the prius being the first.Or not hooked to anything at all. We did however see an old focus pulling one of those little teardrop shaped campers it couldn't have been 6 foot long.
  • The CVT tranny isn't up to pulling anything (we have a '10) and Toyota will void the warranty in a heartbeat.
  • 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 Prius has no tow rating from Toyota - it is not designed to tow anything.

    agreed this is plain stupid!
  • Not a problem, the engine is powerful. It's going to glide silently in traffic jams.
  • Yikes.
