Largest or most unusual Load Carried in Your Prius

I could get rude about some of my customers so I have decided not to answer this thread

 

20 pizzas one time
20 2-liters of drinks another time
picnic food - 10 gallons of lemonade and a few hundred grilled burger patties and hot dogs
around 5 passengers every so often

 

I did a 3 x 5 foot long IKEA table + some other asst. disposible furniture one day. I've also carried 8 foot lumber and 10 foot PVC pipe before. My skis (193 cm) fit without reclining the front seat; I just moved it all the way forward.

 

Me, 05 Prius: 37" flatscreen TV from Best Buy, golf clubs, briefcase, two pizzas and wife
Friend, 04 Prius : Twelve 6 ft tables and 40 folding chairs
Friend, 07 Prius : three surfboards and two passengers...all inside.

 

I forgot about my dad's 37" flat screen TV. It fit in front of the back seat.

 

It's been in other threads - but I love this one... I just got my 2" class 3 hitch, and can't wait to take the 2010 to the dump (with the same trailer)

Edit: Rats - the 6x12 enclosed requires a 3500 lb curb weight. Looks like I'll have to stick with the 5x10.

 

Was that still in the box? I plan on buying one soon too.

I got rid of some old pet supplies to a dealer. Helped him load his prius with 5 Christmas tree storage tubs (20 7/8"W x 52 7/8"L x 14 1/16"H) and lids, 20 gal long aquarium, and other odds and ends. He does a lot of herp shows and removed the passenger front seat for more storage room. His strangest cargo is taking live alligators or crocodiles to rescues.

 

A Kayak. With the passenger seat down and one end resting on the dash, the other end kitty corner in the back.

 

Is this some kind of an upgrade to the Nav screen???

 

Baahhh . . . that aint a load . . . just a couple hundred pounds ... Now THIS is a load. Commercial UPS. try 1,025 lbs, plus driver's weight.





come back when your chassis is dragging on the ground ~

Surely you don't have to put the back seats down to get them in

 

Yes, my 37" flat screen was in the box from Best Buy. I had to put the back seats flat and there was a ton a room.

Alligators? Now that's strange....oo...oo.. new movie idea. 'Gators on a Prius'

 

Yes, it was in the box. I could have put my seats down, but we had my dad's walker (he is 87 yrs old, 88 on 1/20) which was already in the cargo area, so I just opened the rear door and slid the box in front of the seat standing up.

 

I cannot remember exactly what all I got in the Prius, but I got some looks. It was around christmas time, I went to Menards.. I ended up with two 7.5' Christmas trees in the box, lumber, huge sheets of plastic wall-paneling and several other odds and ends. Crazy thing is, I had my mom with me, so we actually found a way to make it work with her sitting in it. I also got it all in VERY carefully because it was my new gen3 and I didn't want one scratch. hehe

 

Here is the box from Best Buy that held my 52" flat screen with the seats down and the hatch closed. And those Best Buy goons that wheeled it out to load it were shaking there heads like I was an idiot when I pulled up in my Prius to take it home. (I had checked online for the dimensions of the box and measured the car. 1" longer or wider and it would not have fit, 1" higher and the hatch would not have closed).
