Currently doing this to my spouses 2016 nissan versa. lifted truck rear ended her, and smashed the trunk all the way into the backseat. Frame is still solid and insurance was like "we're gonna total it" i was like.......nah. Give me whatever you'll give me to 'fix it' they gave me 2k and I decided Imma make it a redneck special. I tore the entire body from the frontseats back off it. Slapped a hardwood flatbed on the back of it, and then welded up a butchered rear window cab of a old truck to separate the cab and bed, grinded it all down and painted it. Now all im waiting on is a lug conversion kit and some custom sized duelly rims, and im gonna have hopefully the smallest Duelly pickup truck in NA XD
I did that same thing to an old Pinto wagon, and two Chevy Citations years ago. It's actually fairly easy to do if you have any body shop skills. Front wheel drives work better because when you do it to a rear wheel drive like a Pinto, you have little weight in the rear and it's easy to burn the tires taking off. Completely worthless in snow too! It looks better if you use a two door instead of a four door too.
Awesome small truck!, you should see the Australian small truck retail, 'utes' so many sporty (car trucks) , the ford Falcon pickups, canopys, and the utilities are so cool, you would see them y'all :),
Technically it should be the Prick, and not the Pruck. Let me explain It is mostly Prius so why should it take most of the letters from a truck? Why have only 2 letters from the original car if that's what it originally was, so it should have 3. No other way it is spelt or named wouldn't have made sense in the first place, there is no I in truck.
I have one, but is BMW truck and it can carry full box of firewood (almost half a chord) or two dirt bikes, or my K-brick 1000. The rear wheel in K bike case has to be on the tailgate and yes its rear wheel drive. The thing is a blast to drive, light and fast. it spins the rear end like old porshe and can turn on a dime. Great job man, well done! Too many naysayers though
Wow it looks better than a normal Prius.
In the early 90s, a Swedish company was selling MK2 Jettas that they transformed into pickup trucks.
I had a prophetic dream about this vehicle
explain
didnt know I needed this, until now.
Dnt let them market your idea just because they see you with it after they refused to make it for you.
A Prius can actually tow a small trailer, still pretty cool though
Most modern cars can haul around a decent amount of stuff. I would love to build a crv ute/truck for outdoor activities lol.
@drew michael oh wow crazy, some kayaks and bikes ! 🤣🙄
Nice prius. I like it better than the tesla truck.
I NEED A PRUCK
Beautiful
Doing yard work right now…
This is literally my dream car. I don’t need the bells and whistles.
I love Prius!

Super clean conversion! Even did the Brat/Ridgeline side supports! This guy draws outlines on all his handtools
They should make a Prius truck it’s pretty much the same as a Honda ridgeline
Let that mullet fly baby!!!!
I was surprised it didn't fold in half after putting a washing machine in the box.
toyota's are solid cars
i honestly think he should put a v8 diesel in it, then it'll be awesome
Napkin Men
The point is mpg ..
Napkin Men not possible it would be too heavy but would be cool
v8 diesel with a fat lithium ion battery pack, extra powerrrrr
Awd conversion
Surprised you don't see this in Japan
Awesome small truck!, you should see the Australian small truck retail, 'utes' so many sporty (car trucks) , the ford Falcon pickups, canopys, and the utilities are so cool, you would see them y'all :),
Also, cruise'y car-truck mate , I kinda hope to do it to a Mitsubishi Lancer some Day :), pickups and utilities 👌👍🙂
Prius + Truck = Pri- waaait a second
I want one!!! Just wish it could be lifted a bit.
why? your not off roading it, normal trucks dont need to be either
But it's still a Prius....
and get 50mpg city......
And it’s a truck that still shits all over your gas mileage. Your point?
@Rob James not an F1 car lol this car doesn't rely on aero to get it's high mpg's
@Rob James i was planning on raising my prius, now im gonna turn it into a truck as well
Now he is certified to blow smoke on another Prius 😂
Very cooland practical, but you forgot the backup camera!! Backup cameras are totally unnecessary and that is what carmakers are focused on, gizmos.
Versatile
Pruck = The Caitlyn jenner of the truck world.
Be good in 2022
How can I do this with my 2005?
Imagine doing this to a tesla
A lady named Simone Giertz actually did a couple years ago here on RUclips, she called it the Truckla. Pretty neat project that turned out solid
What was the donor vehicle for the bed?
this would look amazing with the latest prius model, it's what I'd imagine a tesla pickup would be.
Awesome
bruh I want that so bad to start a small lawn cutting hustle.
Yes, what built america. Ideas and persistence.
Ford Maverick was inspired by this guy 😇
NICE IDEA! Smal pickup 🛻 nothing can be better!
I like it.
Proof that an electric/ hybrid El Camino, Baja would have a paying audience.
Ford Maverick Hybrids are flying off lots, people want small, high mpg trucks.
Please start building these lol
I know old men, and I know that car salesman never made a bet.
no i saw one in dallas texas
his ideas is great! but it'll never make it in US. Simply because auto industry is not gearing for lowprice & reliable, useful, practical.
there is one in Washington
Remember the El Camino and the Ranchero? Why did Chevy and Ford quit making them?
One more letter from _'Prius'_ and one less from _'truck'_ and the _'Pruck'_ would have been useful for something.
Now convert a truck to run a Prius Hybrid engine, a Trius.
people chase him down to ask about the cruck
he missed the opportunity to put an I instead of U in this
Technically it should be the Prick, and not the Pruck. Let me explain
It is mostly Prius so why should it take most of the letters from a truck? Why have only 2 letters from the original car if that's what it originally was, so it should have 3. No other way it is spelt or named wouldn't have made sense in the first place, there is no I in truck.
What are the fucking designs!
I want to hack my prius V to fit a truck camper or make it a popup .
Its a Prute
I was wondering if that's street legal... You know to alter your roof because I'd do it! Well no to a Prius LOL
Here, I dont even have to reregister it as a truck, my old jetta is gonna recieve the treatment.

Why does global capitalisim fail to provide these as an standard model ?
Not Prℹ️ck.
Name like Rude and he called it a pruck?
I thought this guy is a Russian, since he hails from Saint Petersburg
So many haters lol

@@hitone4319 what are u saying I think u read a comment but accidently pressed the wrong comment
The truckla’s older brother
Throw a duramax in it... If it fits
Buy a vehicle that you dont have to plug in.
Theres a reason why the only place a Prius truck exists is in Australia. XD
Nah its been a thing here for a few years...ute kits.
Im gonna do a jetta soon.

More girly than a Ridgeline
Taking a crappy car and turning it into a truck doesn't make it better.
One truck that gets over 40 mpg. Lol
I like the prius. Its just the drivers that are mostly poo
www.smythkitcars.com/
It makes a mk4 jetta/golf awesomer than frig!
The Prius is not a crappy car, kid. Is among the most reliable, efficient and practical ever made.
priuses will outdrive anything short of a corolla
P.R.U.C.K
This prius truck is stupid
Maybe they'll use that in BTF4.
If it can get up to 88 mph!?
