Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7196 that you mentioned will fit a 2004-2009 Toyota Prius.

This trailer hitch has a 2" receiver opening, a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000-lbs, a maximum tongue weight of 300-lbs, and is made proudly in the United States.

Additionally, you are going to need a wiring harness. I recommend checking out the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141854.

This wiring harness will plug into your factory wiring harness and will provide your trailer with the necessary lighting needed.

You're also going to need a ball mount & hitch ball like # EBMK25518 to complete your towing setup.
