    Essentially I'm wondering if it's safe for the Prius v (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon) use a recovery strap on it if it got stuck. Does its weight, unibody construction, or hybrid components present any unique problems when being used with a recovery strap? Are its attachment points (the fixed and removable ones) secure enough to use for this job?

    I'm eyeing recovery strap use for when pushing out by hand doesn't work and when a tow truck/AAA is overkill or will take too long.

    (Sidenote: I'm aware of the correct strap/shackle equipment and practices.)

    anyone? thanks!
