Default Re: Toyota vs. Ford Hybrid SUV - mileage vs. reliability

Hmm, if you need low range, then a regular truck will suit your needs better. 4WD-i (on the HiHy and RXh) can't do deep muddy trails. Light offroad is about as good as it can handle.

Now the FEH's 4WD system is mechanical (i.e. traditional) so it might suit you better. In Canada, they've dropped the price and increased the hybrid warranty.

The other option is wait for the Tundra Hybrid but it might be costly.

Mods: EV mod, VVT-i emblem, sport pedals, OEM cargo mat, JDM Prius interior footwell lighting, Sylvania Silverstars 9003ST, DICE iPod kit, OEM all-weather mats, TomTom ONE v2, LED licence plate lights.
