Smile Best towbar for Atlas

Hello All, We just received our new 2020 Atlas. We want to tow our 2012 Toyota Prius behind it and we know we need a towbar so the front wheels will be off the ground. What are the choices out there and which one would be best for general travelling? Also, do we need special wiring to connect the lights on the Prius to the brakelights and turn signals on the Prius? Or do we just rely on the lights on the towbar? Many thanks in advance from a newcomer.

There is no such thing as a towbar that raises the front of the towed vehicle off the ground. Unless, of course, you are going to use a hydraulic wheel lift like you'd find on a wrecker.

“Tow dolly” is what is needed. Semantics.
