2009 GMC Sierra 4WD Hybrid Crew Cab - GMC Hybrid SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The back-and-forth between gasoline and electric power in GM's two-mode hybrid system is very impressive, as is the seemingly endless supply of torque. This baby goes.

The Automobile Magazine fleet has been inundated with hybrids lately, and this GMC Sierra Hybrid is certainly the largest of the lot. I had many doubts about hybrid pickups before I first drove a Silverado Hybrid last summer, but the truck proved to be quite capable and very refined. Sadly, the truck market is obsessed with diesel engines, so I wonder how many buyers will take the hybrid GMT900s seriously. But those who are willing to test-drive a hybrid pickup will likely walk away very impressed.
