There are a few other options like this as well
In the hybrid, the 12-volt battery is stored in the underseat bin. That's the raised part of the bin in the picture, on the passenger side. Even if you remove the storage bin, the battery would still be in the way.Is the underseat storage removable??
I'll be spending lots of time in the Tucson, AZ area and my concern is the longevity of the 12v battery in the Hybrid system. Regular 12v batteries don't last very long in the southwest. 2 to 3 years on average. If these batteries crap out at the worst times, we'd be in a world of hurt. I'm definitely going to upgrade to a lithium battery asap.I haven't had useable back seats in a personal vehicle for 30 years, the crew cab will be a challenge but if the 12v battery is in the cabin, wondering about a larger battery or a Battle Born Battery system and a solar panel? Planning to boondock as there are a bunch of campgrounds in the National Forests.
I have lived in Sierra Vista AZ for 3 years and frequent Tucson weekly. I moved here from Omaha Nebraska. My 2011 Prius 12v in the trunk is the original it was built with. Maybe buy a 12V from ToyotaI'll be spending lots of time in the Tucson, AZ area and my concern is the longevity of the 12v battery in the Hybrid system.

Think the platform hybrid battery is lithium, the 12 volt is lead acid, which runs the lights and other stuff like the Prius 12 volt does.I'll be spending lots of time in the Tucson, AZ area and my concern is the longevity of the 12v battery in the Hybrid system.

the rear seat is one piece, not split.This floor bins have been one of my big concerns as well. I was hoping for an accessory that would make it flat.
Also, does anyone know if the rear seat is split? I’d like to be able to have my dog and a third person in the back.
Those are my two biggest hang ups with the truck.
Yeah, I figure something will come out or I can make something. Wish they were split seats, though.the rear seat is one piece, not split.
the floor bins have 8 slots in them for accessories, surely there will be something you can use eventually.
