You will be able to buy a half ton pickup from GM, rated for 6000 lb
towing capacity, in the 2008 model year.

Whoah. I'm getting a huge raise? Or hitting the lottery?


You as in the group sense, not the specific. Prices reputedly "start"
at under $40,000, and if I'm not mistaken that's not an exceptionally
high price for a new full size truck.


Chuck do the math. Compare the cost of a hybrid vs. a non-hybrid over
150,000 miles. Oh, and don't forget about replacing the batteries at
100,000 miles.
