There is. Level and a 1.5 inch lift

I think... because putting a bigger lift with bigger tires defeats the purpose of the hybrid. Even a lift with stock tires with gets less MPG.

Why isn't there a catback exhaust for a Prius?

This is 'merica where people have the right to do what they please.

I never said he could not... I am just saying that LOGICALLY it does NOT make any sense.

If I had to guess I'd trace lack of more than a 1.5" lift kit to two main reasons.

First, the purpose of the hybrid is for maximum MPG, and since lifts reduce MPG, that's counter-intuitive.

Second, the hybrid is only FWD, so it probably won't be used in places where lifted trucks would have a functional advantage.

It was sarcasm

Contact Lyft and explain that the truck has 4 doors and can be used for ride share. They might send you a new driver kit after realizing their mistake.

I disagree. The purpose of the hybrid is to get better gas milage, not maximal gas milage. I think a leveling kit and slightly bigger/beefier tires would look awesome. If you can still get 35+ mpg around town, that's having your cake and eating it too .

ABSOLUTELY!!! But I am still gonna ask: Why?

I'd like a lift kit for my Hybrid. Better comfort for getting in and out.

including the right not to invest in designing and tooling a product that very few people will buy.
Majority of people who want lifts want 4WD and have therefore purchased Ecoboost Mavs. It's that simple.

Lifting a truck to drive around town??

The hybrid uses the same front suspension as the fwd Ecoboost and there is a least one lift kit for it.
