cephyr13@yahoo.com Report post Posted January 13, 2016 I'm looking to get a car to tow four-down, but the Prius manual says not to do it, because it will destroy the transmission. However, it doesn't say I can't turn the car on and tow it. If the car is on, I thought that would solve the problem, but after looking into how the Prius works, that may not be a viable solution. Has anyone tried towing a Prius? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted January 15, 2016 Welcome to the forum. Let me see the Prius manual says not to do it, because it will destroy the transmission. The FMCA towing guide doesn't have one listed and the largest maker of add on's for towing Remco says "Must be towed on a tow dolly." I am going to go out on a limb and say no it must be towed on a tow dolly. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
