So were going to get a Tacoma/Ranger POS Prius thing???

This has me so glad to own my 08!

 

I fail

 

And it will be called: The Ranyota priord.

 

I want to see what happens when someone try's to cross a stream with their "battery powered" tacoma.

 

I won't hate on it till we see what the MPG is. I may actually buy one. I won't own a Prius because I don't like the image it projects, but I have driven one and they actually have decent power. If you get stuck behind one climbing a hill, it's not because it won't go any faster, it's because the jackass driving it is trying to keep the MPG gauge above 35MPG while driving up a 7% grade at 55 in the fast lane. If it gets 25MPG plus and the payload isn't eaten up by the battery weight, it's worth having to me.
