Only suggestion I have is to get BOTH with the 2" receiver. Those are so much more robust that the difference in cost, in my opinion, is well worth the improved value, usefulness, and durability. You won't have any trouble getting those into your Prius. Longish, rectangular boxes. Probably 7' at longest. Call them and ask how they are boxed for shipping or pickup. bob On Jan 27, 2011, at 7:47 PM, Oxroad wrote: > Hey Folks-- > > I'm hatching a plan to save some money on the shipping of the GoWesty Steel > Plate Bumpers by picking them up in my hatchback. > (Right now I have more time than money and brains.) > > I have a generation 2 Prius which is the hatchback with fold down rear > seats.
