The PRIUS OF POWER vs PRINCESS PICKUP – or How I built a bed extender for my car so I could hall lumber like a boss.
I have several friends who have purchased overpriced, pickups that they refuse to haul anything in. These are generally overpriced models with fancy upgrade packages that include airconditioned seats, off-road capability, cool spider or motorcycle logo stickers, or Pink Pony club logos emblazoned on them. (except for friend Larry – his Ford Range is probably the smallest truck in the list, but he actually hauls stuff in his pickup. He has helped out multiple times with projects. . . but the rest of ya’ll – you know who you are…..) Why do you own a fancy azz Princess Pickup, with all the macho bling, but refuse to actually take it off road or to haul anything bigger than a double whopper order from McD’s ? Just askin.
Now that I have Vented, here is my solution: PRIUS-OF-POWER Bed Extender and Board Hauler.
I have made a custom bed extender that fits into the trailer hitch. I have hauled upto 12 foot boards with this device.
Driving home from Menards, I was passed by countless empty Princess Pickups, mostly hauling a single driver…. Yup, seems about right! Yet the PRIUS OF POWER simply plugs along.
And while I am on the subject of Princess Pickups; what is with hanging a pair of fake testicles off of the bumper hitch? If your truck was created WITHOUT testicles, and you add them, that just makes your truck a trans-truck. With all of the anti DEI and anti-Trans stuff going on, I am surprised that anyone would advertise their truck’s gender dysphoria issues. Personally I don’t judge, nor care, and I think it is nice that you support your vehicle’s transition to the gender it identifies with. Too bad we can’t have that same respect for our fellow humans.
And While I am on the topic, are you aware that the PRISU OF POWER is faster than a Ford Mustang? Don’t believe me? HAH!!
0-60 Times | Find 0 to 60 & Quarter Mile Times Car Specs
2016 Prius C = 0-60 10.9 / Quarter Mile 17.9
1980 Ford Mustang = 0-60 11.7 / Quarter Mile 18.3
1974 Ford Mustang II = 0-60 15.5 / Quarter Mile 19.2
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it is not ALL Ford Mustangs, and some folks will argue that the Mustang II does not count, But I didn’t give it the name or the brand, talk to Ford about that! HAH! Long live the PRIUS-OF-POWER!!!!!!!
