Good to know the MPGs these can get on the highway. Seems like a super useful vehicle.

In reply to CyberEric :
My mpg for the roughly 65 miles trip of towing this Prius back home = 17.4
All flat, 2 lane roads with a couple of small town slow downs and just a little "in-town" driving.
On page 4 of this thread you can see that 3 years ago I towed a Prius with this van and got 17.1 mpg -- the same!
We're around 100k miles on our 2016 now. Still a great van. I've had to do the thermostat, rear brakes, and three of the climate control actuators. Lately the gas milage has tanked and I need to dig into it to figure out what's going on. (usually ~26-27mpg on road trips, this latest trim yielded about 19mpg. Getting 17-18mpg in town.)
I've been wondering what the 80k service should be? I'm still on original fluids and I suspect that it would be wise to update trans fluid, especially with a history of towing.
Otherwise zero work other than oil changes to this point.
I do have a airbag light on which code reads as driver's seat side airbag. I found some online that implies that the power seat mechanism pinches a wire. Suggestions are to break down seat a bit and replace wire harness or break down to wire splicing.
My driver seat is showing wear so I'm considering a JY, fresher seat replacement.
I also have a windshield crack that has become quite intrusive. Plans for its replacement when the weather warms.
