You need to read the owners manual! The Toyota manual states the Prius is not designed to pull a trailer.
If your car does not pass the New York state vehicle inspection and emissions tests that are required and the exhaust is the reason then you will need to have it repaired. After the repair is complete you will have to go through the inspection again. If your car passes the first time there is no need for repairs.
The Toyota Prius offers 21.6 cubic feet (or 0.61 cubic meters - 610 litres) of storage room, compared to a similar car in the same class (the Ford C-Max) that has 24.5 cubic feet (0.69 cubic meters - 690 litres) the Prius is the smaller one. However, since taxi companies around the world use Toyota Prius the storage room is definitely sufficient for a business where you need to be able to load lots of bags/other goods into your car.
Any fault that affects emissions will turn the light on. You need to have it checked for codes to know possible causes.Any fault that affects emissions will turn the light on. You need to have it checked for codes to know possible causes.

Go to auto Zone and get a Haynes manual and look in the emissions section for your year.
YES IT COULD BE , BUT IT MAY NOT BE THE ONLY PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE CAR SCANNED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY OTHER PROBLEMS BEFORE REPLACEING THE MAP SENSOR
Usually emissions control systems need to be added so that it will pass a smog inspection. Also it needs to be registered in the U.S and have a valid title.
All vehicles come with an emissions label and a vacuum diagram. If yours is missing, the parts dept at your local Toyota dealer can get em, cheap.
Varies, a couple of weeks should be enough.
Should not make any difference. The state inspections are for emissions and exhaust systems not whether a door is open or not. The door switch might need to be replaced.
Since 1998 no Prius have had battery replacement due to "wearing out". So far only accidents or defective batteries have been replaced. Keep in mind the Prius does not use one big battery either, instead it is 10 or 12 smaller batteries in a long casing. If one should deplead they would just replace that unit. Toyota expected the batteries to last 8-10 years but are now finding out they will last much longer. They only way to really test it is to let time go buy and see.
