It's funny, I actually drive a hybrid to work daily. Honda Insight,
gets 70-75mpg vs. the Prius' 40-50. I'm really a question to the world
- who buys a hybrid AND a hummer? ;-) But, my cars are bought for fun
and/or practicality, not to make political statements. The Insight
needs $30 in fuel once a month, vs. my DeLorean that ate $40 every 5
days when I was driving it daily, and the Insight is small and thus
highly maneuverable in the heavy traffic I hit going back and forth to
work. So it makes sense to commute in and saves me money.

But, it's a two seater, and I can't flat tow it; I've always wanted a
real nice 4x4 and since I bought the bus, set my sights on one I could
flat tow. First inclination was a Jeep but the H1 is the ultimate
production off road vehicle, holds it's value (if you buy used), and
can be had used for little more than a new, loaded Jeep. So, what the
heck.

Thanks to everyone for the responses. Sounds like a braking system on
the truck and I'll be ready to go.
