do you have a 2nd vehicle other than prius?

No, I have two Prius' !

2012 Plug In advanced for the wife and I drive the 07 with 196k miles ..

No more Prius for us. 2017 Volt and 2016 BMW X1.

 

Yep, my Diamondback Laurito Hardtail.

 

Because my Prii can't do this...



If you've never wheeled in a Taco or a Runner, I can see why you would underestimate them. As a stock production vehicle, there is virtually nothing out there more capable.

 

05 Sprinter which gets around 30 mpg

01 Tundra Long Bed 4wd terrible mileage!

08 Fit aka The Tiny Car which I love a lot very zippy

94 Land Cruiser The Beast


iPhone don't expect too much

 

Yay! Somebody else whose other car is a bicycle.

 

Judging by the wheel speed in that photo neither can that 4Runner. Where did you find a cold wet place in Arizona to do that at btw?

I do agree though, if you want offroad capability a Toyota Taco/Runner would probably be my 3rd or 4th choice

In Colorado our rocks are dry.

 

We have the Prius, a Chevy Equinox SUV and a BMW Z4 for fun!

 

The pic l posted wasn't me (although I've been in similar situations in my Taco), it was just to show Toyota knows what they're doing. However, Arizona has a bit more to offer than what most people would typically think.

For me, if all I wanted was a crawler or something to romp in on the weekend, I'd get a Jeep for sure. However, a Jeep wouldn't have met two of my other most important criteria:

1. Reliability (daily driver, had $5k to spend. Depending on a Jeep in that price range for reliability is risky)
2. I needed a bed (which is also why I didn't consider a Runner)

The Tacoma has done me good so far!

 

I'm a skier and chasing the snow all winter. So I have a Honda CRV. The Prius is not real good in the snow. Hopefully my new Gen 4 will actually spin the wheels. Also a few motorcycles, and ATV's.

 

2013 Honda Fit 5-speed manual. Zippy, fun,fun,fun car to drive.

 

Gen 4 does have a traction control off button, for if you need it to get un-stuck.

 

The Prius is primarily my wife's car. As you can see from my avatar, I also have a MX-5 Miata, (2008 retractible hardtop). Our work vehicle is a 2013 Toyota Tundra, and my baby, a 1966 Mercury Comet:



I even have a 2003 Harley Low Rider when there's nothing else going on. Retirement's a blast!

 

Another extreme car 2005 Lotus Elise - Saffron Yellow

I don't get to drive this much - it's the wife's daily drive

 

2000 BMW Z3 Roadster - Bright red

 

1999 F250 Super Duty (110,000 miles) - just did a complete frame off restoration. It's like brand-new again.
2003 Honda Pilot (72,000 miles) - Wife's
2010 Corvette Grand Sport (52,000 miles) - track prepped.

My wife only drives her Pilot, and I rarely drive it.

 

Since I need to haul motorbikes and the like, one of my other vehicles is a cargo van.

 

I apologize, double post.
