Question:

Hi, I am interested in buying this cargo carrier for my 2016 Prius V. However, I need to install a trailer hitch also. I know in the video you recommend the EcoHitch 2inch - do you have any cheaper alternatives?

Hey Melissa, thanks for reaching out!

Since the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 has a 2" shank, the only 2016 Toyota Prius v trailer hitch that will work with it is the EcoHitch # 306-X7192.

For something with a lower price-point you'll need the Draw-Tite # 24967 and the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63155. This doesn't have the exact same specs as the etrailer carrier you were looking at (it lacks the folding feature and is limited to 300 lbs) but it still gives you a hitch and carrier for your Prius.

For me, the EcoHitch is worth the extra money because it gives you a 2" receiver that's compatible with more accessories, but which option would you rather go with?
