>>949649Found a good graphic for you. Maybe this will help you to understand why a hybrid car going downhill with an extra 1000lbs+ creates some questions. If the car's computer recognizes the extra weight and takes advantage of it, the Prius' hybrid system could actually be beneficial for towing.
And the second part, you should get a drivers license. Most regular vehicles with a trailer hitch don't even have the power outlet for trailer brakes. Only like the F-350 with the extra towing package and trans cooler will even have the option to run a trailer with brakes.
