    I bought my Prius because I love to hyper mile. If I wanted to drive off road I'd probably get a Ford.

    To me, my PIP is first and foremost a Toyota, which means to me at least (from long experience) it can take a licking and keep on ticking. Short of getting high centered I use it like any other rig, I sure don't baby it. The fact that it also gets incredible mileage is a bonus. As is it's sound system, best I've ever had anyway! I was up that same road today again.....

    Unclear why this is an issue. It's gonna be about the same off-road as other modern fwd cars, which means better than the '64 Buick my parents had.

    Ford?! Really? Because Toyota certainly doesn't make any off-road capable vehicles...

    Thanks for the input. I lifted my Prius 40mm so I think I can get away with 205/75r15.

    I love my Prius, but I think Ford makes superior trucks.
