I used to track motorcycles and then use my touring bike for a sense of adventure, but that didn't end well with a deer encounter. That took the alpha right out of me, so 4 wheels and a cage seemed like the way to go for the longevity play and also comfort. The Toyota hybrids have "ready mode" where you can set the climate control and A/C will run off the traction battery and cycle on the engine every so often to recharge. Living in a van down by the river is only fun if I'm comfy.
I'm unsure if the Pacifica can do this and I'm unsure of that vehicle's ability to get down fire roads, but I love that there are more hybrids in this world.
