The Toyota Prius v can tow a maximum of 3,500 pounds and has a tongue weight of 525 pounds at the trailer hitch. It is equipped with a Class 1 hitch, which can be customized for the electric car. This vehicle is capable of towing loaded small trailers, small to medium-sized campers, as well as boats and various sizes of all-terrain vehicles.
The 2016 Toyota Prius V can tow up to 1,598 pounds.
Thomas's statement differs from Marie's response, which Thomas desires to be accurate.
I was actually hoping that Maria B's answer would turn out to be correct as well. Oh well, time to come up with a new plan!
Maria B's response is sourced from a website that promotes a tow hitch with specifications listing a tongue weight of 525 lbs and a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. However, these figures are accompanied by an asterisk, indicating that they refer to the hitch itself, not the vehicle. A note at the bottom of the website suggests consulting the owners manual to determine the actual towing capacity of the car.
