Whats the most you've hauled in your prius?

That's fantastic! How was the mpg?

 

looks like a hitch and small trailer would be nice to have despite Toyota's warning not to tow anything.

most weigh I've had was a complete chevy 348 W big block engine dis-assembled, with 2 extra intake manifolds. still got 45mpg.

 

My old prius, have a persona now. Filled the hatch with patio stone and patio bricks!! She was squatting something fierce

 

I did not check it at the end of the trip but the gauge on the dash was fluctuating between 25 and 50 but hanging on to 25 most of the time.

 

We exhibit at trade shows, and we fit our entire 10' x 10' booth inside our 06 Prius.
Outside tent (10'x10' w/sides) in its 6' x 1' x 1' case (just fits, length wise front-back)
2 each 3' high suit cases (on the 40% side of of the back seat, sideways)
2 each 2' suit cases
1 folding 6 diameter table top (right behind the front seats, on the floor/hump)
1 small cooler
5 collapsible 1'x1' tables
2 duffel bags
6 grocery sized bags
2 roll up banners
1 laptop

 

I hauled about 800 lbs of aluminum parts for an airplane.

 

Several hundred pounds of laminate flooring.

Also, a trunk (with the rear seats folded down) full of firewood, stacked about 2/3rds high.

Also had a 5 foot church pew in it, with the trunk door fully closed.

 

I've hauled 25 cases of wine (about 1,000 lbs). And this is what it looks like when I go camping.

 

I have hauled a small injection mold. I dont have pics tho.

 

The plural of Prius (more than one) is Prii.

 

"The unladen weight is 1792 lbs, and maximum gross weight is 2420 lbs."
I saw the max tow hitch was around 2000lbs online so far. Have you ever pulled this trailer with it at it's max weight of 2400? I'm thinking about a trailmanor aluminum popup trailer which is about 2700lbs for easy driving only.. any chance our 2013 Prius V with 16" wheels can handle it? Thanks.

 

800lb. On the top rack custom modified.
800+ lb. inside the car interior removed.
Two hitch with trailer 700 lb.
added rear load leveler bag in springs filled with 30psi nitrogen. Tires 51 psi.

 

You know if you put regular air you could haul more?

 

I always have tanks of nitrogen inside my vehicle it’s part of my job it’s free and available easily.
I still want to do the spring upgrade that I see another Prius chat member found springs with a heavier rate from other vehicles that fit right into the saddles of the struts.
My next future upgrade modification is to weld a full lumber rack attached to the front frame support member at the front bumper to the rear bumper support member to the frame just like you see on large pick up trucks. What got me thinking about that was an old man in my neighborhood who has one a 69 VW beetle he’s been driving around with a full front bumper to rear bumper lumber rack like that for 30 years.

 

A 50 gallon water heater from home depot in it's box. And the hatch closed

 

1.5 Yards of bagged mulch. (20 2 Cu ft bags)

 

Not sure of the total weight, but with grocery delivery, this was pretty common. This particular shipment was delivered to a medical clinic.

 

Meh, I did a 70 gallon (without any help up or down the stairs to the basement!).

Hey that's me. The 4WD Matrix springs are working great. The most I have hauled is about 3000 lbs split between inside the car and a trailer.
