    I think that the small "U Haul" is out of the equation tho .....

    More hauling. Electric mower, blower and trimmer that was bought from Costco 10+ years ago.

    Really loving the flat cargo floor.

    I've been so pleased with my PiP and what it can hold. So far i've been able to get 2 twin matresses in with the hatch only a few inches shy of locking. (bungee ftw) Also moved 2 folding tables and 6+ folding chairs with room to spare. Amazes me how much can fit with the rear seats down.

    This is my most challenging haul so far because it is the heaviest. As you can see, I have been busy with the house.

    I first stopped by a supermarket and then Home Depot. Before loading those blocks, I had a surprise when I opened the hatch. The baby stroller from yesterday was in it. Anyway, I moved it in the back seats.

    The entire trip was about 8 miles. AC was running the entire time with wifey in the font passenger seat. When I got home, 3.5 EV miles remaining.

    There was a steep uphill on the way home. I was worry ICE might kick in, it did not. I climbed at 39 mph on 40 mph speed limit. EV bar reached about 80% once but most of the time around 60% to maintain speed.

    Another round after dinner and an hour+ charging.

    9.6 miles remaining when I left. 1.5 miles left when I got back.

    They are 10 foot downspouts. PiP is more than a family plugin car. It is up to the hauling chore!

    Surfboards! I was able to fit a 10 foot longboard, 9 foot longboard, 6'2" fish, and a 6'3" shortboard in my Prius Plug-in. And I still had room for wet suites and other gear in the trunk, plus a passenger behind me. And all my friends said I needed a truck to haul around my surfboards.

    Man, I hope that box is wedged in there real good. I see that it could not slide forward past the back seats, so I assume that it got stuck sticking out so far over back bumper. I also assume that that did not have to drive very far.

    Within the bounds of safe driving ( :) taking a photo from behind the wheel ) it looked like they had a rope inside to tie it down.

    I made a drop off the other day for my IKEA delivery business. When the customer saw me unloading she said, "I was thinking about getting a Prius, but this settles it." :)

    I'm sure the Rav can hold quite a bit, too.
