While the EcoHitch part # 306-X7369 is a 2 inch hitch, it does have lower weight capacities more associated with 1-1/4 inch hitches of 2,000 lbs trailer and 300 lbs tongue weight, since this hitch is designed to fit a lower capacity tow vehicle, the Prius Prime, it has the lower towing capacity. The larger hitch size does give you more options for hitch accessories since 2 inch hitch accessories are the most popular.
