I agree. We used the Toyota Highlander hybrid in the winter mountains of Colorado for our taxi service. They could go everywhere a GMC 4x4 could (almost), great on fuel, and were virtually indestructible. Toyota's continuously variable transmission (CVT) is rock solid too, wasn't always, but is now.
- loonster 5y agoThe eCVT that hybrids use are mechanically nothing like mechanical CVT. The only thing they share in common is they are both continuously variable. This is a great video on eCVT. https://youtu.be/E_xCssR8qQI https://youtu.be/E_xCssR8qQI
- tenfourwookie 5y agoI don't even know if CVT is correct. Let's say it's the transmission thingy in 2003+ Toyota Highlander. The whole cars were indestructible, but the tranny impressed the most, especially up and down mountain roads.
