If you have serious work to do and want to burn less fuel doing it, this is your truck. While Ford and Dodge full-sizers are new and improved for 2009, Chevy’s recently redesigned Silverado remains fully competitive, is the only hybrid and by far the most fuel efficient on the road.
Fuel efficiency costs money, so these Two-Mode Hybrid full-size pickups are more expensive than conventional trucks, and they do sacrifice some hauling and towing capability. Future fuel prices will determine how long it will take for them to earn back their higher stickers.
