The Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid is a full-size pickup boasting 22 MPG freeway fuel efficiency. Powered by GM's 2-Mode Hybrid system and a 6.0 liter gas V8, the Silverado Hybrid provides all-electric driving at low speeds and fuel savings while fully loaded and towing up to 6,100 pounds. This 2-Mode system is shared with other GM vehicles such as the Yukon and Escalade

The 2-Mode system maximizes fuel economy by using the electric power to propel the vehicle whenever possible and shutting down the gas motor when stopped. When the brakes are applied or the vehicle is coasting, the electric motors within the hybrid system create electricity that is stored in the 300-volt battery. With the fuel mileage savings of the hybrid system and Silverado's 26-gallon (98-liter) fuel tank, the Silverado Hybrid has a cruising range of more than 500 miles.

The Silverado hybrid comes well equipped with a long list of standard features that read more like a luxury sedan than a work truck. 18-inch chrome wheels, Bluetooth, Onstar, a Bose sound system with XM radio, and a backup camera are all standard. Like the rest of the 1500 family the Silverado Hybrid is available in regular, extended, and crew cabs with your choice of box length and drive system.

Other standard GM work-truck features abound including a standard tonneau cover and Z-71 off road packages. As always trailer and towing packages are available as well as dealer-installed bed liners.

With an MSRP of $39,015 the Silverado Hybrid isn't an inexpensive truck. Buyers that traditionally buy their trucks and drive them forever will find the fuel savings attractive but it certainly comes at a price. Like all other GM products the Silverado Hybrid comes with a 3 year / 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 5 year / 100,000 powertrain warranty. An additional 8 year / 100,000 mile Hybrid warranty is given which covers the all the Hybrid components including the battery.
