2016 hitch

In the US, the vendor has to prove your part is to blame. They cannot just decide all hitches mean no warranty, but if you bend the car they can point to the hitch.

There is no major difference in c model yeats.

 

I have a hitch for bikes and haven't gotten any pushback from the dealer. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

How is the installation on a 15-16 c? Is it bolt on no drilling?

 

I didn't bother, and got no flack. But then I didn't have any repairs to be haggled either.

 

I officially l asked my dealer about it.

I was told installing a trailer hitch does not violate the manufacture warrantee or my leaseas long no wiring is tapped into, I don't tow a car and the hitch is bolted on.

Still waiting for confirmation that a 2015 hitch will fit my 2016 car.

 

Just chiming in, got the Curt hitch and it is only 6 bolts, no drilling. Haven't installed yet but just letting people know...

 

It won't. Curt has a 2016 hitch. I got mine from etrailier.

 

Mine required 8 bolts. Most of the time spent was being careful. I also ordered and installed the plug and play trailer wiring from Curt. It can be taken out easily. No cutting. Some people power it from the accessory adapter at the passenger seat. I ran dual No. 12 stranded wires from the battery, fully fused and picked up the ground at the rear fender. To penetrate the firewall, I pierced the grommet above the accelerator pedal.

 

Note that he has a 'c', not a Liftback.

 

I was wondering if that 2015 hitch fit your 2016 C, thanks

 

For the 2016 prius C, I got the Eco hitch 2", and it has 4 bolts. The only issue I ran into was the left side plastic cover. It isn't there on the younger models and I had a hard time removing it (I I ended up cutting the plastic to fit). Without that snag it would not take much time at all to install. I took my car to the dealership and had them finish tightening the bolts (I don't have that tool). I got an oil change too, so all went really well.

 

I just installed the 4 bolt draw tite.. it was much easier to install than the 6 bolt version i installed on my previous c. I can't recall if it was curt or reese.. but it was 6 bolts and took longer.. it's not fun installing the upper bolts.. and with 2 less bolts to do, it made this install much easier. I highly recommend avoiding the 6 bolt. I tapped the yellow and green trailer brake/turn light lines into the brake light circuit and didn't bother with the turn circuit.. and brown to tail of course.. The $40 T kit doesn't seem worth it.. I've seen 3 of them fail inside the main box.
