Thanks for your purchases, they are appreciated, and we do have a 2 inch hitch for your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime, which is the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7369.

While the manufacturer, TorkLift, doesn't offer online PDFs for some reason, I did get a copy of the instructions and was able to cut out and add them below. I also sent you a separate link to a video installation of this hitch, and hopefully this combination of instructions will give you the guidance you are understandably looking for in regards to the install.
