Can 2008 Toyota Prius be Towed with a Tow Dolly

Published 09/29/2019

Question:

I am unsure with my Prius how to setup everything when dolly towing. I am wondering if I put it in park and leave it off? Toyota has some really terrible information online about the proper setup.

While Toyota does not have specific instructions in the owners manual of your 2008 Toyota Prius for towing on a dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1 it does state that dolly towing is the way to go for recreational towing. So what you'll need to do is follow the standard procedure for tow dolly which is to have the wheels facing straight forward with the vehicle in park, and have the steering wheel locked and you'd be set.
