Question:

Hi Does the Toyota Prius have a trailer hitch receiver built into it? Or do I have to have one put on? Thanks!

Although OEM hitches can be found on certain trucks and SUV's, they wouldn't be found on a Prius. You would need to install an aftermarket hitch, like the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24847. The hitch would provide a great attachment point for a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrier.

If you're considering towing with your Prius, I'd recommend you reconsider as Toyota doesn't recommend towing with that vehicle.
