Back in the day someone made a youtube video of a first-gen prius towing another prius. I've been pulling loads with my prius for over 7yrs. They are really good workhorses. my loads are only around 1500lbs though. The previous owner used to transport lamas in it 😂. He actually gave me pics.
The Prius's transmission is a power split device that can produce almost any gear reduction you can think of without slipping, so it has a major advantage from that standpoint on towing. It utterly lacks the horsepower to go anywhere in any kind of hurry when you put that much load on it, and the mechanical components transmitting all that torque will not be happy, and the engine certainly won't be happy producing such a high percentage of it's peak power output without the forward momentum rushing airflow into the radiator to help cool itself down, not to mention the ungodly strain on the batteries and charging system, but this isn't as a difficult or as destructive as it would seem at first.
They could probably do this indefinitely if the suspension could handle it. The engine only produces so much torque, so mechanically there's nothing to break. Once I figured out how these transmissions work, I became a really big fan of them.
Volkswagen actually had a hitch just like this that the bug could turn around 360 degrees without hitting the 5th wheel camper that was made for it back in the 60s/70s
Wonder if they make "lift kits" for the Prius or make custom bump stops so it's not dragging so low and it would probably not bog out so much. I would be very interested to see if it works
As impractical as it may be it would make moving the trailer around the property a breeze. You could slam that trailer in places you couldn't get with the truck. Btw, ur not the first to do this. VW sold a gooseneck camper/ bug combo back in the day. Exactly the same concept
In order for this to be really not so janky you will want to put stiffer springs and shocks on it(struts on the front), upgrade brake pads and rotors to the most heavy duty stuff you can find, add a brake controller for the trailer, and also upgrade the transmission cooler. Other than that there isn't anything in the Prius that would break under a load like that - mechanically they are quite simple and can take a heck of a lot of abuse.
@@garygaarderjr9733 Mentioning usage of the brakes to slow down on a 7 degree grade says more about you than the Prius. Hope you don't drive 18 wheelers.
This would be perfect for moving trailers in a CAT or big cross docks yard. This would be amazing for moving empty trailers from yard to yard on a big facility.... no joke... you've stumbled upon something great here JH!
Imagine if it was on big bags to be able to dump them to hook up and then inflate to lift trailer without having to exit the vehicle. Would make a great yard jockey.
I love hybrids. The Prius is a legend. I drive a fusion hybrid and it's basically a Toyota powertrain since ford partnered with them. Toyota makes a helluva hybrid that's for sure.
I would like to have seen the real time mileage on the multi-function display. How many miles did the Prius get pulling that trailer with the truck on it, compared to a proper 5th wheel truck?
Laugh at the Prius all you want, but I’ve never seen such a small car have so much potential. Not just with towing like this, but the Prius can be modded with a Hellcat engine (Prius Sr8t I think it was called.) to keep up with Chargers. They may seem boring to some but their original purpose is a light commuter, but they can also be so much more.
Saw a jhdiesel boyfriend blocks the diesel pump shirt yesterday in Virginia city nv. And a random cleetus shirt. There are more fans out there than I expected.
I have that same Prius and I’ve taken it off roading many times. It has 300k miles on it, has no exhaust whatsoever and has taken abuse that has destroyed my past cars. Even been in an accident and it still works fine. Only thing I’m replacing are tires.

My wife and I owned a 2015 Prius C for a few years and we did all kinds of stuff with it. We used it to when we moved from AZ to CO and completely loaded the inside, plus a large cargo pod on the roof. I floored it on the highway on a flat area and 96mph was all she had lol. We took it on a minor off road trail once too and these guys in a jeep came past us and thought we stole it or something lol. We never got stuck
@@garygaarderjr9733 Yeah, I've seen it. Still cool that it works here with a standard gooseneck trailer rather than a special trailer specifically designed for it.
To be completely honest if somebody had a business where they had to move around a lot of these trailers on a lot because they sold them or something this wouldn't be a bad idea just an empty trailer you could move it anywhere with this Prius
No idea if it would fit somehow but, a 3 cyl d diesel geared for towing would be awesome swap in the prius! Get that planet saver really set up for some weight 😂🤣
To be honest, Toyota has a secret to their engines and durability. They're all underrated to take a beating so the can last. This Prius is around 110hp, but the ability of the engine can produce double that if modified.
That's the cool thing about going from a f250 to a f450. Same motor, but the f450 has less power and it'll last just as long while doing more work. Part of why I was personally excited when they came out with the 7.3 gas motor. It's so underpowered compared to what it could be.
You sitting right under that 5th wheel was nerve racking. Should have left the landing legs down closer to the ground in case it failed. So awesome though I wish they made something like this still.

I am impressed, especially considering that the Prius' towing capacity is rated at 1600 pounds. You towed 10x the rated towing capacity.
Toyota durability at its finest.

Hey I respect Hybrids. Locomotives? Hybrid. Locomotives produce a fuck ton of torque and it's all hybrid electric, my bitches. Go Prius!!
Had me cracking up when the bumper let loose from the jack and the windshield crack from the trailer lol
