#65 of 87 a normal car by electrictroy Mar 17, 2005 (7:37 am)
"A normal car with regen capabilities". The Chevy pickup doesn't do anything a normal car can not do (shut off at stops, provide plugs to power TVs/radios). Even the regen braking can be done with a normal car, via using the starter motor.   But definitely NOT a hybrid. A hybrid dumps the electrical power to the wheels.   Troy Replies to this message: xwesx (Mar 17, 2005 10:41 am)

Replying to: electrictroy (Mar 17, 2005 7:37 am) No, your definition of a hybrid "dumps electrical power to the wheels."

Doesn't the Chevy keep the heat/AC and other ancilliary systems running while the engine is turned off? That's not something any other vehicle can do, even if you manually shut it down. Plus all electrical systems will reboot everytime you turn the key back on. More importantly, you can't turn your vehicle off while it's coasting because you would lose brake/steering assist.

Let's stick to the topics and not fall into the trap of talking about each other!

#71 of 87 Hybrid pickup trucks... by ergo Dec 29, 2005 (9:06 pm)
Sweet!  The world's only hybrid offering:      1. Towing ability.    2. ANY off pavement ability.    3. Emergency generator capabilities.    4. A pickup bed.    5. No waiting lines or "market adjustments!"    6. No compromise engine performance.   Looking forward to the impressive new Dual hybrid system on the 2007 Tahoe. Will be interesting to see this on the next generation GM pickups.   PS Any guesses who will make the next competing truck?
#72 of 87 Just a guess by pf_flyer HOST Dec 30, 2005 (11:33 am)
Wouldn't surprise me to see Ford get itno the game with an F-150 hybrid perhaps
#73 of 87 Mazda Tribute should be next by yerth10 Dec 30, 2005 (11:42 am)
After Escape Hybrid, Mariner Hybrid was launched which has similar size and engine.   The next hybrid from Ford should be the Mazda Tribute which also shares the size / engine.   By mass producing a particular system, they can bring down their cost.
#74 of 87 Wasn't the net mileage result of being a by obyone Jan 01, 2006 (3:33 am)
"hybrid" about 1-2 mpg? Hardly any savings to justify the cost. Replies to this message: gagrice (Jan 01, 2006 8:21 am) hybrid04prius (Jan 01, 2006 2:18 pm) gagrice (Jan 01, 2006 4:11 pm)
