A Brief Guide to Hybrid Pickup Trucks

In hybrid owners’ mindset, the full sized pickup truck symbolizes all that is wrong with the American automobile: overpowered, big, and consume more of fuel. However, in reality pickups are hugely popular—commonly because a lot of American drivers need the towing and hauling capacities of a hybrid pickup truck.

The Toyota A-BAT is a 4-seat hybrid pickup trucks with a 4-foot rear bed and roof mounted solar panels to charge its onboard accessories. This hybrid pickup might appeal to all those other pickup drivers who rarely load lumber, but want spaciousness, sleek styling, versatility, and best in fuel efficiency.

An entirely new generation of hybrid pickup trucks is in the works. GMC Sierra Hybrid and Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid (version 2) hit showrooms as 2009 hybrid pickup models. The two-mode hybrid system going into hybrid pickup trucks increases fuel efficiency by 25 percent to 20 in highway and 18 in the city—far from Toyota Prius territory, but highly regarded for a 3-ton truck with a 6.0L V8 power plant under the hood.

Same with GM hybrid pickup trucks, Dodge Ram Hybrid will use the same two-mode power train, and is predicted to get roughly the same fuel economy. And in recent times, many auto companies have begun exploring the potential for a “lifestyle” hybrid pickup: a smaller and more fuel efficient hybrid pickup truck that provides a vehicle-like ride combined with modest hauling and towing capabilities.
