As for this, I agree completely. I'd rather ride in the back of a Prius than in the back of most extended cab/quad cab trucks.

With careful planning, a Prius could probably carry the same work crew and tools that most times end up in a crew cab truck as well, if one were so inclined.

I say this simply because 90% of the time that we had to take the bosses truck, it was only because there were 4 guys going to the job, and with caulking equipment, the bed was never fully loaded. In fact, we all could have pretty much carried our tools right in our laps, except when we needed the paint pumps or power washers, etc... which could just as easily have been towed behind the Prius.
