We have had both an older Ford Ranger Xcab & older Sport Trac we just added, both have gone on some of the roughest (all the way on Mana, Green Sands, Waipio Overlook...etc) BUT not really great gas mileage (have a compact manual tran for the Hilo to Kona stuff) ... (Added: the whys on the 2 older Ford trucks? they were inexpensive here & in good condition for the $)
Before, when we didn't have to have the extra vehicle, just had the high MPG car (with a hitch for a tray or the small light trailer) that we used for everything....but we wouldn't have driven on Mana all the way, and walked to Green Sands...
Re: Kona, there is a Rav4 EV in Kona that does those steep inclines like a goat (our little car is dusted by that one!) have no idea if the Prius has the same umph, but if it does...tallyho
