I've rented a Prius a couple of times. It's a little small for me but that car was much more zippy than I expected. I know a few people that own one and they've been happy with it for many years. I don't think it would work well here in the snow but if Toyota built a plug-in hybrid AWD Tacoma Crew Cab I would seriously consider it, especially if there is no telemetry junk in it.
- baldeagle 4y agoThere is a plug in hybrid Rav4, and it is delightful for what it is. Fast acceleration and light off road capability make it good for city driving, backwoods gravel, and even some rutting out jeep trails.
- LinuxBender 4y agoThose look nice. I need a pickup though. I have to put hay in the back from time to time and inside a SUV it gets really messy. I would also want more ground clearance. I could use a trailer but it really limits where I can park.
- toast0 4y agoI'd be surprised if Toyota doesn't offer hybrid trucks soon. Ford is doing it, Toyota has good hybrid tech, it's relatively easy to stuff some batteries under the bed, etc. The current generation started MY2015, so maybe their next gen Tacoma will be a good time to add hybrid options.

- jononomo 4y agoI somehow ended up paying $2k for a 2009 Prius with 80k miles on it in 2019. I've driven it for three years and it has not had one mechanical issue at all. Absolutely perfect.
- LinuxBender 4y agoThat's a really good price. You got lucky.
- reducesuffering 4y agoYes, because of the initial electric motor boost, 2010+ are quick off the line. The new 2023 Prius have that and 194 hp...
- alphabettsy 4y agoThey make an AWD Prius.
