There was a hybrid produced by chevy I think. All the SUVs get crappy mileage. You might be better to get a light pickup as they will get better mileage. Throw on a camper shell and you are set.
Unless you need 4 wheel, two wheel small trucks get average to poor mileage. The fact is, all current vehicles are getting poor mileage. my 1983 escort station wagon got 40-50 mi/gal. I belive the car companies just threw the crap out there from the 70's to raise oil consumption and make a buck off of their oil futures.
