OT: Swapping the Prius for a Man Card

[shdwghst457_imp]

Completely off topic, changed my mind about being a Prius driver and buying another 4x4 Tundra.

Well I guess it's not that off topic, in the sense that I'm finding it hard to put a CB1100 in the back of a Prius!

Excited to be able to haul stuff again.

I didn't know they would allow a Prius in Texas.....ironically hauling a Harley, turns the world upside down. The confusion it must cause...."can a Harley rider even wave to a Prius driving Harley rider, who owns a Honda CB".....dang, my head hurts.

I hear it's legal in Austin.

Man, my head hurts too

So, what kind of trailer is that? How much does one cost?

I think in nature they would call that a genetic mutation...

Why not the new Silverado? I think they're made in Texas, too; my Tahoe was. New one (2014) has more power than my '13 but I can testify without hesitation, having owned the next generation Tundra for five years, that the Tahoe is a much more refined vehicle and tows the toy hauler a lot better than the Tundra did. Couldn't believe the difference. My Tundra was a 5.7 4X4 with the towing package.

Fuel mileage on the Tundra was terrible; I was lucky to ever see 17, unloaded. Tahoe gets 23 mpg on the freeway, but towing, it's 8-10.

It looks like one of the Harbor Freight trailers with a bike rail added. Pretty nice trailers for the money really. But don't forget to pack the wheel-bearings before use. Apparently the Red Army doesn't like to get their hands greasy so they ship them dry. Lots of people find out the hard way.

Thanks Spaceman, I'll keep that in mind if I ever get one!

Loving the turn of phrase there Spacey. :clap:

I don't know any details on that trailer, as I have neither a blue Prius nor a Harley. That pic's brought to you by the fine folks at Google Images. What I really wanted to find was a motorcycle stuffed inside a Prius, or on top of one!

As far Silverado vs Tundra, that's a conversation I won't have here. It'll get ugly fast. If I had to sum it up in one point though, I'd go with 'Tundras don't sporadically catch on fire and burn to the ground.'

I test drove a Sierra before I bought my last Tundra, and it was downright depressing. Tundra (2005, 4.7L) ripped out of that parking lot so hard I think the salesman pissed himself. I was overjoyed

Now I will say that the new Silvierras (Sierrados?) are undoubtedly worlds better than they were in 2004, but they had nowhere to go but up.

I also have this CB1100 for getting better gas mileage than a 5500 pound torque monster, so I'll be ok. Even my Acura gets low to mid 20s (or 16 driving like hell, or 30 on the highway, downhill, with a tailwind and the engine off), so the Tundra won't be a daily driver by any means.

Meanwhile, on the Tundra forum, gents are discussing the relative merits of the CB1100 with the six speed box vs the Kawasaki W800 with a show box full of firelighters.

It is a funny parallel, my last Tundra was a five speed. Looking forward to that extra gear like the 2014 owners on here!
