The Prius is equipped with a CVT not a transmission, and the electric produces 300 ft/lb of Torque. You can tow up to 1500 lbs however if you decide to tow your gas mileage will not hold up. Any more weight and you risk violating the manufacturers warranty.

From what I gather at my website is the max tow capacity is 2000lb.
