Hybrid Pick-Up Trucks Pack a Powerful Punch

Hybrid pickup trucks are unique because they have exceptional fuel economy, but drive and are fueled the same way as a normal pickup truck. While they are usually more expensive than their non-hybrid counterparts, from a cost-benefit analysis, it may not be all that much of a premium. The new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra hybrid pickups have fuel economy that's 50% better in the city, and they offer over 300 horsepower and 1,500 pounds payload as well as 6,100 pounds of towing. These hybrid pickup trucks actually have the same mileage as many popular 4-cylinder mid-size cars. Available video includes footage of hybrid trucks including the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, as well as soundbites from John Schwegman of Chevrolet and Kirill Ougarov of Motor Trend.
