Hard to say really. The Prius may use the same system conceptually, but it is a completely different car when it comes to energy supply and demand capacities. I'm not sure a direct comparison really reveals the minds of the Toyota decision makers, but I'll admit the true reasons the TCH doesn't have FLs could be far less interesting...

Two climate control systems, one inside and the other at the tailpipe.
