If you do the math, the fuel savings will never offset the additional cost of the vehicle over it's life. It would be fun to have, but I have not invested in green technologies just for green's sake. If it had a return, I am in.
At some point (maybe at $6 or $7 per gallon), it may make sense.

Tsk tsk, Eric! GM doesn't make a 6.1L !
There are a few Silverado\Sierra Hybrids roaming around the Twin Cities, and a few more Tahoe Hybrids. The RNC convention was here a few years ago, and they trucked all the VIPs around in Tahoe Hybrids.

I am all in favor of saving money at the pump, but like Eric said in a later post, truck hybrids just don't save money in the long run. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, the current Silverado Hybrid can only tow 6000 lbs.

Correct, Jon! I was wondering if anyone would catch that (yeah, that's it!). It took 5 months for anyone to find it!

I should have said 6.0 l.

Hello Farside1.

I am a Hybrid Sierra owner, I'm still etting used to it.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
