If you need a full-size pickup truck, but want to use as little gasoline as possible, GM has built what may be the roughest, toughest hybrid this side of a transit bus. As long as the tax credits last, the payback period’s not bad, and if you’re OK with a crew-cab body, you won’t have to compromise any truck functionality.
GMC is introducing the 2009 Sierra Two-Mode Hybrid pickup truck at the Chicago Motor Show this week. The Sierra Hybrid is due out in late 2008. In addition, GMC will unveil a hybrid pickup concept called the Denali XT, which can run on E85 ethanol.
