    So... is that truck supposed to get better gas mileage with 35 inch wheels attached?

    I guess this would be the same as throwing huge low profile wheels on the prius, lowing it, and giving it a custom paint job... with a bike rack on top. Huge kill to MPG.

    But hey.. people can say they own a hybrid. Then, it will eventualy turn into a MPG battle that we have all experianced.

    And this vehicle is a soft hybrid anyway with minimal improvement to MPG over its gasoline only brother based on EPA ratings (1 MPG seems to ring a bell). Also if you plan to power that refrigerator, stove and grill, all electric, better make room for some gasoline jerry cans!!!
