If you're just hauling a bass boat you don't need an SUV for that. The Prius will pull it.Half the price of a well equipped 3/4 ton crew cab.
Yes hybrid cars are very affordable. They don't cost anymore than a regular gas car. They cost a lot less than a SUV or truck. People don't seem to have a problem with shelling out over 30 grand for an SUV or truck. I don't see the problem with 23 grand for a hybrid.
Because that SUV can pull my boat to the lake.
That fucking Prius has a hard time pulling itself.
Who needs that, simply rent a birth and save the cost of gas and the cost of the SUV and the storage of the boat.
Um the lake I fish at doesn't "rent births".
And I also fish at several different lakes anyway.
The Prius can tow 1540lbs. My bass boat with trailer comes in at 2550lbs with no trailer brakes. The Prius can't handle it. Heck my Nissan truck couldn't handle it and I had to buy a larger truck just to pull it. No way could a Prius suck that thing up a wet boat launch.
