2012 Toyota Prius Towing Capacity

The 2012 Toyota Prius has a listed towing capacity of 1,000 lb. This is the towing figure supplied for the vehicle year shown on this page; it is not a rating for every Prius model year or trim.

Read the figure as the listed towing capacity, not as a payload or passenger-weight limit. The facts provide one towing figure for 2012 and do not identify changes by trim or engine, so they do not support a more specific comparison. Confirm any rating for your individual vehicle on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

If you are checking a Prius from a different year or a particular trim, use that vehicle's information rather than assuming this figure applies. Confirm its towing rating on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
