Hey tagyak, I just bought a Prius and plan to tow my Yakima Rock&Roll.
From what I have read this works well. Do you have any photos of
your hitch on you Prius, and photos of it hooked up with the kayaks on.
Did you use a kurt hitch or did you find another that worked?
Any information or recommendation you could make would be helpfull.
Thanks Paul

i got my hitch online thru www.hitchanything.com this was the model that i got: http://www.hitchanything.com/2005-To...tch-24808.html along with the trailer wiring harness.
unfortunately i don't have any pictures of the kayaks sitting ontop of the trailer. at the time roby and i were commuting to la jolla and we were in a hurry to fish rather than take any pictures.
i set up the rack with the yakima mako racks along with the hulley rollers, one setup for each kayak. it was a little tight but it worked well.
if i find some pictures i'll post it up.
my trailer has the extension along with the standard length hitch so it is able to accommodate the kayaks.
