I saw the same thing. The last five digits is different, but the way I was trained is that the last five digits denotes the model of the vehicle and the first five digits simply means that it's a shock. So of course the first five digits would be the same. Just like it is for a Toyota Avalon it would have the same first five digits. But just because the last five digits is different, would that necessarily mean that it's just a different vehicle or is it truly a different part as well?
A v is heavier, taller and rated for more load. It also has standard 16” wheels instead of the hatchback’s 15”. Are your shocks leaking? If not I would leave them.
Got new shocks and a lift kit in a 2010 Prius. Want to put them in the 2013 Prius v. Will they bolt up?
Maybe, but the v wagon is 300 lbs heavier than the Prius hatchback. It'll be like always driving around with a 300 lb dude riding in your car. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
