The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7178 is a great option for your 2014 Toyota Prius due to it being the only 2" hitch option available. A 2" hitch is always a great choice due to it having the most options available for accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers, and even ball mounts for towing.

One of the best features of the EcoHitch # 306-X7178 is that it has a hidden crossbar which means that only the receiver itself will be visible as shown in the included picture.

If you can tell me what you plan on using your trailer hitch for I would be happy to recommend the best products for your needs.

I included a video of the EcoHitch # 306-X7178 being installed on a 2011 Toyota Prius for you to take a look at.
