Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Toyota Prius
Today on this 2010 Toyota Prius, we are going to install part number 11469 from Curt. Okay looking up on our driver side of the vehicle, you see the tow hook right here. The hitch will actually replace where the tow hook is. On the passenger side of the vehicle we have got to take down this exhaust bracket right here and then the hitch will go in place and the exhaust bracket will go back on top of the hitch. Okay first we will start off by taking down the tie down bracket. Okay, we got that out of the way, now go on over to the passenger side and take down the exhaust bracket.
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Toyota Prius
Today we are going to install part number 11468 from Curt and we are installing this on a 2007 Toyota Prius. First thing we need to do is take down this shield right here. This will come off and the hitch will go in the place where this tie down hook is. Once we take this shield off we can unbolt this hook and there is another hook on the passenger side that we need to take off also. The first thing we need to do is take down this shield here for now. We will end up trimming it when we put the hitch back up. Alright, next we will want to take down the tie down bracket. Now go do the same thing for the other side. Next we can go ahead and install the hitch onto the vehicle and you can actually put the passenger side over the exhaust and let you help hold it up while you do the driver side first. Once you have the hitch held up by a couple bolts, it is a good idea to go ahead and snug down the bolts to help you line up the hitch with the rest of the holes. Alright once you get your holes lined up, you will have to move around the hitch a little bit and get your last bolt on this side started. Go ahead and snug it up and then go back and do the remaining one on the driver side.
