Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Tongue Weight
Question:
Will it be okay to use a class 1 car hitch drawtite on a Priuswith a 50 lb bike rack and a 55 lb e bike? Since the tongue weight is 200 lbs I suspect I am okay?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you should be just fine with that weight. I show two Draw-Tite trailer hitches available for your 2014 Toyota Prius, # 24967 and the # 24847, each with a 200 lb. tongue weight and 2K tow weight. I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24847 because it sets out slightly more than the other, providing just a little more clearance for your accessories.
