If I can get a hybrid that does what I need it to I have no problem buying one. I really don't care what type of engine is in the truck, just that it takes care of what I need it to do. IE Tow a 10,000 lb boat.

They are passenger vehicles, but the auto industry has classified them as utility vehicles which have entirely different standards. Gm and Ford will be releasing hybred SUV's in the next couple of years. Their milage, based on these hybred systems - gas and electric, or a natural gas option instead, is in the 50 mpg range. So it does show that the manufacturers can build systems that exceed CAFE requirements. They need the incentive. larry -- Larry C.
