Pulling a trailer with your Prius

Do any of you have a hitch on your Prius and pull a small trailer with
it?

My second vehicle is a ford van and I am thinking of getting rid of it
and just get a small trailer to do any hauling I need to do. It would
mostly be a few pieces of plywood or drywall or maybe an appliance
like a washer or dryer.

If I wind up getting a Prius when I get a new car, it will probably
handle that ok, won't it?

Well, I guess I had better hang on to the van, then.

Thanks, David

I have one with my NHW11 and use it for light weight but oversized
loads. No problem but then I'm not trying to move a house cross-country.

I've also towed a small jon boat and motor.
