If you find it's lacking, Ecomodder member jray3 builds pusher trailers for his pure electric Karmann Ghia. For Wolf Creek Pass and such.

It's already heavier than a Prius, and Toyota doesn't recommend towing with any vehicle fitted with the HSD system.

Looks like you found a believer. 72 views at this time. 34,000+ views of the thread.
One hopes that the copy-cats will cut the truck frame at an angle further forward for an additional point of contact.
Has anyone scoped out the Toyota Highlander HSD with the V-6?

I like it! Good video.
I bet the MSN coverage will get the project a LOT of attention.

Crew? Unless I'm mistaken, Hoopie is just one guy, right? |

A Terrific Job. We actually Raced a 07 Prius in the 24 Hours of Lemons this weekend. 60 teams had to go home after they got beat by a Prius, winning Class C, and finishing 11th overall, in 110 degree heat....
It's not all that crazy....

I presume you are keeping an eye on site traffic? They link directly to this thread so it should be easy to see a jump in page views.
