Loading a Prius on a tow dolly

[okmunky]

Hi Y'all,

I am joining the ranks of FTers soon and plan to tow dolly my '07 Toyota Prius from OK City to Seattle (2000 mi). For now, I won't tow a car behind the MH. I would like to put a few bulky, lighter weight items in the car. Since the hybrid batteries make the Prius heavy in the rear, should I try to add stuff to the front seat to help balance out the weight? Any cautions or suggestions?

Unless your putting a lot of heavy stuff in the car, it shouldn't make any difference. I would test load the car first and check it's look. If it is sagging in the rear then you know you have too much loaded.

Don't exceed the trailer's GVWR...or the MH's GCWR.

If you stay under 600 pounds - the weight of 3 adults - you shouldn't have any problem with the car. As already mentioned, check your other weights. You might also consider running the tire pressure a few PSI higher.
