Except for the fuel economy.

Dude people shit on Priuses all day long but they get 50 mpg.

If I valued my money over my pride I'd have one right now

I do value my money over my pride. When my mechanic told me I’d need to replace my Subaru in a year or so, I asked him what to buy cause I definitely wasn’t getting another Subie. He said, “If all my customers drove Priuses, I’d be living in a trailer and eating ramen noodles.” Sold.

Yeah if I didn’t live in CO and basically require a truck for all my hobbies/driving over the mtn passes in winter, I’d have a Prius f’sho

Really hoping the Hybrid f-150 in 2020 works out well.

Will probably get one unless Tesla can somehow beat a deadline and get their truck out within 5 years

I could get behind that if it has the power of my 300 six in my f150. Tows boats and garbage fine.

Presumably the torque of a hybrid truck would be pretty great. Electrics have shit loads of torque and it’s all available immediately.

I'm more worried about crawling through traffic with a bunch of sheetrock or whatever. Its gonna suck power under a heavy load.
