CVTs are the weakest link in towing... you can ask people who blew up there transmission backing up a load in a tahoe hybrid... (reverse gear is powered by the CVT).. |
Who said anything about towing 12,000 pounds? You keep moving the goalposts, and most cars (and trucks, and SUVs) can't tow 12,000 pounds.
That 1,600 pounds is the maximum recommended by Toyota; there's
no law in
any state that says an owner can't put more than that behind a Prius and have at it.
