- Repos t towing my Prius - General Discussion - Car Talk Community
The Prius in not a lot different from other front wheel drive cars I would tow it with the front wheels on a dolly trailer, and cover the front to avoid stone schip damage from the rear wheels of the truck Make sure the rental agency has an approved dolly, and it does not hurt to let a mechanic check everything out before you leave
