You can't. Did you just mean a 2 inch receiver? Torklift Central | Torklift Central | 2004-2009 Toyota Prius Gen II EcoHitch
I'm totally new to this and not sure what I'm looking for, honestly. I want to put a motorcycle carrier on my car to haul a 250-300lb moped about 2500 miles, if possible. My brother in law told me I may need a class 2 hitch to accomplish this, with 300lbs tongue weight Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
I had a 1-7/8 inch Class 2 Curt receiver installed on my 2010 Prius that was recently totaled (I was stopped). I am looking for a Gen 2 with lower miles as a replacement with the money I got, and a 2008 I looked at had a 1-7/8 Class 2 receiver from U-Haul. (The car itself with "no accidents" had a pushed in driver door (creased) and scrapes along the side.) Class 2 doesn't necessarily mean 2 inch. I think the rating on mine was 1000 lb tongue, 2000 lb gross.
The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds, and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue weight rating of 350 pounds and a towing rating of 3,500 pounds. If the combined weight of the carrier and the load exceeds 200 lbs, you need a class 2 hitch, and no one makes one for the Prius. I am buying an 80-pound ebike and wanted a 2" hitch for the ebike platform carrier to fit my 2012 Prius. I can't find one anywhere. I love the car, but this is a seriously depressing development.

I love my EcoHitch on my 06. It looks good, it's stronger, and it was super easy to install. I pulled a uhaul 4x8 trailer last weekend full of tubs of household stuff super easily. I noticed it on hills but it was no issue.
