GM introducing hybrid pickups,, 6000 lb tow capacity
Where the hybrid pickup truck has some promise, IMO, is when it is
running empty or without a trailer. How many people settle for a 10-12 mpg pickup truck simply because they need to tow a boat or haul a load of construction materials a dozen times every summer? Sure, the truck may get only 6-8 mpg while towing, hybrid or not. But if during the 90- some percent of the time most people operate without a trailer and are running empty the truck can realize 16 mpg instead of 12 that represents a significant savings. Multiply that by 20 or 30 million vehicles and pretty soon we can tell the Arabian Oil Sheiks to shove it. :-) EXACTLY. |
