I've been looking into buying a hybrid. My current vehicle only gets 12 mpg. I use it to tow a boat. Would it make sense to throw a Pius in the bed of my truck to drive around town once I get to the shore? Will it fit?
LMHOROTF! :lol: But then I thought why not? If you have a flat-bed sure, but you'd need a tilting bed. Then there are some folks who tow they're 5th wheels with a long-hauler crew cab, those bed's are certainly big enough. Depending on what state you're in you can pull in tandem (sp), but my understanding is that you can't tow a Prius with the wheels down, but if you could you could pull truck => Prius => boat. Sure why not?

If you can "throw a Camry" into the the bed of your truck, then I guess you could "throw a Prius" in there just as easily. It would likely be easier, cheaper and better for everybody to toss a bicycle in the back. Scooter? But what the hell - if you can fit a Prius, go ahead and toss one in there. I'd like pictures!

Hoo Rah ... Tempus you da man, that's exactly what I was talking about, put a flat bed on that big dog and you haul a HumVee to cruise when you're not fishing! b
