Few Questions

Welcome to PriusChat, racer12306. Are you very tall? You're doing the right thing reading here, several discussions on rail extenders. I'm fine without them so I haven't paid much attention.

There are no particular quirks to watch out for, the Prius is a gasoline car with an automatic transmission, sort of. You got advice about reading the guess gauge in another thread. The friction brakes get used so little they may rust a bit and give you crunchy stops every now and then until the rust is rubbed off. There is no clutch to slip, so if the engine revs high going up a mountain, don't worry, keep your foot on the pedal. You probably won't need B mode unless you're coming down a mountain. Don't block the vent on the passenger side of the back seat, that provides cabin air to cool the big battery. The car protects itself very well, so bumping the shift switch into R at speed will only earn you an annoyed beep.

Keep reading and have fun driving your low-pollution company car.

 

Wow, I'm 6'2" and never have the driver's seat in the full back position, not even close. I realize, however, that despite our similarities we are all different as well..... Have you tried some experimentation with the angle of the seat to see if a combination of that and the forward/backward adjustment might help?

 

. . . Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!
