    Hey. I currently have a 2013 Rav4 LTD and am looking at getting a Prius. I just don't know which to focus my attention on. The new 2016 Prius or Prius v (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon).

    Can a Prius take a 6' ladder? I work in IT and sometimes need to take a 6' step ladder. I know it'll fit in a Prius v as I've driven a 2012 but I'm unsure of the 2016 Prius. My dealer doesn't stock any Prius's...you have to order one.

    Just really wondering how much space there is with back seats down?

    I used a Werner 17 foot ladder (7 foot stepladder) in my Gen 2, the downside is that the dirty feet face the front seats ( see my avatar) in the v it fits with the feet facing backwards.
