Terrible mileage for a Hybrid and Gas Tank is way too small

How does it handle towing the tractor I will be doing the same soon. I have a Kubota 3300 with backhoe I will be moving.

I had no issues - it pulled easier than when I pulled with my 2022 Tacoma. The float I used was a rental so it only had surge brakes and it was a very heavy trailer so the trailer plus tractor plus tractor accessories weighed about 5800 pounds so had to make sure I had the weight right on the hitch at 10% & had to manually turn off all the Toyota safety sense features PLUS remembered to put it trailer haul mode everytime I stopped. I was pulling through some very hilly terrain so I kept the speed down especially on some steep grades and speed limit was 80km. I watched the transmission and engine temps - they stayed normal with no issues

If only Toyota provided specs on the vehicle that disclosed the size of the tank to prospective buyers.

Oh wait…it does!

Horrible take. You can buy an annuity with a 17 year surrender period that wrecks your retirement, but hey, at least they disclosed it’s garbage.

I knew these issues when I bought it so I adjust accordingly - hauling extra gas is a pain but I knew I'd have to

Nice Escape. We’ve been thinking about the E19 for a while now. Not sure we’ll ever buy “new”, especially now thanks to @#$# but our neighbors sure seem pleased with theirs.

Today - mostly 75mpg adaptive cruise control so bounced around a lot as I wasn’t aggressively trying to keep the speed up.
It was below 32f when I started.

Just posting for fun here.

Today - 13.4 miles, sport mode, I went beyond the speed limit for a short stint on the highway and she was still pulling.
There’s a power band in there somewhere that I can’t yet reliably find where the sewing machine hum is audible and the torque is available - in that moment there isn’t any concerns about the power of this engine setup, I just need my style to adapt so I find it more often.

An odd analogy at best. Regardless, when investing for the long term, there is a price to pay for liquidity.

This will be my last (maybe) post sporting dash pics as it’s different again. This is my return trip home, mostly highway but cruise control 70mph with a fair bit of 65mph in traffic. Weather warmer than the trip down yesterday.

It's a joy to pull as it is narrower than many other trailers but I still have a queen bed and all the other amenities. Very well built. I've done since new about 32,000km mostly with the 2022 Tacoma and last year with the Land Cruiser - no issues with either. The constant transmission hunting on the Tacoma was annoying which not having that on the Land Cruiser is enjoyable.
