2020 Toyota Prius AWD-e Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Toyota? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Toyota tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Prius AWD-e is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2020 Prius AWD-e’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Toyota Prius AWD-e transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Prius AWD-e, potentially causing transmission problems.
