FishHawk Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I Have a Toyota Prius and have yet to try out my yak on the car. Wondered if there are any other Prius owners out there and how the car handled with a yak on top of it? I have a Thule rack and a Necky Santa Cruz rec. yak.

gyork Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Cheers to you Bill, for buying a hybrid. I wouldn't expect you'd have any problem with the Prius, assuming you've got the correct mounting accessories, but what do I know? ...not enough!Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Handles fine! Occasionally you may need to apply a little stern rudder with your paddle, especially in high cross winds. Oh and leaning your body a bit on curves helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishHawk Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I'll let you guys know how it handles. FYI I'm getting 57 mpg without the AC on with it on I get 48. I'll bet the with the yak on it will be in the high 40 mpgs. Not too shabby. The technology is here so give it a good look. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
