To quote George Costanza, I'm back, baby. I traded my beloved 2012 Prius IV four years ago for a 2013 Honda CRV that I could flat tow behind my Tiffin motorhome. The CRV was an excellent vehicle and did us great service on our RV trips, but man, I really missed my Prius. Just trying to make a hands free call with the Honda was maddening. Anyway, I finally ditched my moneypit, er, RV, and have just traded in the CRV for a 2018 Prius IV Touring with 32K miles. I'll pick it up in Jacksonville on Wednesday. Anything good or bad I should look forward to with the 18 as opposed to the 12? BTW, if you're considering buying a motorhome, ask a friend to come by and slap you.
congrats and welcome back! gen 4 has been pretty solid. infotainment screen quirks, windshields cracking repeatedly, leather peeling on steering wheel, small things like that. the biggest problem was leaking exhaust heat exchangers causing blown head gaskets. i thing toyota has a tsb on it, and they updated the part at some point. might be worth looking into. all the best!
2 youtubes from gasket masters and mr electric explaining the heat exchanger coolant leak thing and a DIY coolant re route thing if you are unlucky enough to get that issue. youtu.be/0N7_crTRDus youtu.be/XpQyZ2F6oiA how did the service look on the car fax (if you got one)? 3 year / or 30K miles - free service is standard, although implemented differently at the dealer level, some dealers were more conscientious about following the scheduled maintenance than other were. Our services just checked off all the scheduled tasks, god only knows what work was actually done, They finally rotated tires at the 30K service, not that the rotation matter by than.
