    anyone tried towing their 3rd gen prius IN a
    5' x 9' Utility Trailer With Ramp?

    Uhaul's website seems to think this will work?

    if not, will be just getting the flatbed...

    Most people just use tow dollies... Five feet sounds kind of narrow... And Nine feet is gonna leave lots of Prius hanging off the back.

    Hope you're using a dual axles on that trailer too...

    the u-haul 5x9 has a payload limit of 1,600lbs.

    No Prius is that light.

    You need the tow dolly or the auto transporter.

    I towed my prius once, but i used a uhaul dolly instead. Dolly is probably cheaper, costed me like $70 a day to rent. Would recommend over trailer.
