    Just added new suspension with 1.5" lift kit for the gravel and dirt roads I travel. Interesting read I found on the prius offload company, was that owners are reporting better mileage. Car is dirty but here is a Pic. 20240806_153845.jpg

    Better MPG from being taller? Doubtful, but these cars do look better with larger tires and the kit on for sure.

    It was a claim that Prius Offroad site said some customers were getting 1mpg better. I think that maybe because they were driving slower. I have been noticing about 2 to 3 mpgs lower. Though this is on the highway around 75mph.

    Just settled with 225/55/tire size. Next time I am going with 225/60/17. 20240901_142715.jpg

    I like how it looks. Do you have it set up for camping/sleeping?

    Not really, just power inverter and sleeping mats.
