Driving a Lifted Prius
The Toyota Prius was introduced as a cutting edge hybrid with the 2001 model year. In the 20 years since, it has established itself as a unique and important vehicle. However, it’s understandable if it doesn’t exactly strike you as an off road vehicle. That’s because in its stock form, it isn’t one. However, if you upgrade your Toyota Prius with the right setup, you can have it ready for any situation.
Ultimate Rides is a custom auto dealer that provides customers with exactly the type of vehicle they want. Over the years, we’ve been able to see what a lifted Prius can do. With the upgrades available here at Ultimate Rides, you can find yourself the owner of a custom Toyota Prius built for action.
Use this guide to learn more about the vehicle, as well as what Ultimate Rides can do to set you up with one. You’ll learn about our customer service philosophy and how it important it is to us, as well as plenty more about our vehicle delivery and our custom service center. If you have any questions, you can reach out to our office over the phone to speak with a team member.
Toyota Prius Advantages
The most common reason drivers decide to go with the Toyota Prius is most likely because of its status as a leading hybrid. Its fuel efficient, and great for the world around us, especially as we move towards cutting down our carbon emissions. Of course, in recent years you can even find Prius models that have gone completely electric, leaving the hybrid engine behind. Whichever version you choose, you’ll be doing the environment a favor.
However, that’s not the only reason why someone would want to drive the Toyota Prius. Toyota has excellent word of mouth when it comes to their safety features. The Toyota Prius is a fantastic example of that, and you’ll find some great features there to protect you and your family or friends. The last few model years have seen plenty of upgrades in that department.
The Prius is also a very affordable car, which makes it appealing to a lot of people. If you plan on spending money to customize your next vehicle, it will probably be worth trying to save as much as you can on the ride itself. These are just a few of the many reasons to drive a Prius, and customizing the vehicle will only add more to that list. Keep reading to find out what awaits you.
Getting Your Prius Off Road Ready
One of the first things we’d recommend to get your Prius prepped for off road adventure is a lift kit or suspension lift. This will allow you to install larger off road tires on your car, and will provide more ground clearance. Ground clearance is a very important part of off road driving, as you don’t want to damage your vehicle on rocks or even scrape it up with sharp blades of grass. Additionally, the right set of tires will help ensure you don’t get stuck in tricky situations like mud and sand.
The decision between a lift kit and a suspension lift can be a tough one. Suspension lifts are higher quality but they’re going to cost quite a bit more. You can find a modest lift kit for a relatively cheap price, but performance won’t be as high as it would with an actual suspension lift. Whichever option you decide to go with, Ultimate Rides can help set you up.
