At rated tow capacity, I would expect the 'Hybrid' angle to nil out. It
would not take long for the batteries to pull down, hauling that big POS
tank, + 6K of boat/trailer. So, it will be pulling on the engine alone
in no time. The whole 'Hybrid' thing with a pickup is just jumping on
the Hybrid bandwagon, while in actuality offering Nothing to be gained
by using it. Typical Domestic Car Maker consumer fraud. As Corsair23
says, total junk anyway, but, it's Domestic, so that's a given. GM
bombed out with the 'Super Size Me' SUV market, just like the other big
3 members, foisting 8-10 MPG tanks off on the stupid consumer, while
energy costs are skyrocketing, with no end in site. Now, they want to
sucker consumers into believing that a "Hybrid" 1/2 ton pickup towing 6K
is a viable vehicle. BULL****.

You will be able to buy a half ton pickup from GM, rated for 6000 lb

Fuel economy is reputed to be about 25% better than gasoline-powered
trucks with equal towing capacity.
