2009 Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid

Gotta love Sam Elliott's voice....so smooooth :)

Anyways, here's some notes about the 2009 Silverado Hybrid:

--Retail Price (MSRP): $38,020 (a bit pricier than expected)
--Fuel economy 20/21 (much better than the average in its class)
--Max Driving Range 572 miles (YEY!)
--6.0L V8 Standard Engine
--332 HP (Gas)
--Much improved "sedan" like interior
--Torque delivery comparable to diesel
--2 modes of engine operation: the first mode is efficient at low speeds when the truck operates solely on electric power, or a combination of the electric motors and gasoline power. Mode two operates at highway speeds where four fixed gears are still the most efficient way to manage power and fuel economy. When the truck comes to a stop, the gas engine shuts off.

This baby may be pricey, but it is still a sweet looking ride, and they are pumping the daylights out of the "green" ideology.
