Looks like a great tow rig, NOT! He's gonna toast his transmission trying to tow with a Prius. Darn lucky he's going on a flat road too because I doubt his brakes or tranny could hold up to any kind of real decent or slowdown. God help the guy going of him if he had to do an emergency stop.

But look at all the power his regenerative brakes will produce with each stop. LOL

Say it with me: Just because you can attach it to the back of your vehicle doesn't mean you can safely tow it.

He's "saving" fuel .... :laughing:

And remember, there are always exceptions to the rule :thumbsup:

I wonder how hard the electric motors pull off a standing stop. and how much you could expect to get out of the regen braking before you touch the physical brakes/trans.

Fun and games in my old home town. Some people there are getting as goofy as we are out here in Jerry Brown's playpen.:laughing:

I'm surprised its pulling it at all. Isn't that SUV AWD? I think we are seeing the death of not one Toyota, but actually two.

Maybe the SUV is pushing the Prius.
