Toyota A-BAT Concept pickup

You do realize that the Chevy Silverado is capable of about 20mpg and hauling a SHIT TON more than this thing? I don't care if my truck gets 70mpg, if it can't haul anything, what's the point?

why really?
well, because its a toyota...

the point is: doesn't mean you get a truck mean you have to haul

Yeah, until you touch the gas...

Not neccesarily. I hauled some stuff in my brother-in-laws 2008 Chevy Silverado, and got about 20mpg highway.

20MPG only......

Yes, 20mpg and 300-something ft-lb of torque. I don't see this Toyota doing this, and even if it does, the batteries would be flat in no time, negating the advantage of a hybrid as you'd have to use the gasoline motor to charge them back up and/or power the vehicle. Also, I realize I stated it twice, one was my opinion, and the other was personal experience to refute owequitit's comment, thank you very much.

That's interesting, because in order to move my swap stuff in the back of a Chevy, downhill, at 75-80mph steady, I didn't get 20MPG. More like 15-17.

Besides, 20 is painful next to 35.

P.S. getting on the gas means romping on it. Most LSx engines don't do 20 when romped.

clam down...
i know that "Chevy" are good cars and trucks...

but sorry, its not me...everyone is just not the same..

again, i don't haul so it doesn't matter...and i'm not a rich guy so i don't want to pay high gas...

I DID have a tail wind that day, as well as being on a rural highway (55mph) so that may have skewed the milage slightly. But 15-20 sure beats the 10-13mpg my old 5.7L 88' GMC got!

Well YEAH! That goes without saying. You may as well just pour gas out the window!

I don't expect a truck to get as good of MPG, but it cost me like $80 for the whole trip, when my CB made it on less than half that. LOL!

It is kind of funny, because I have a friend with an LS2 GTO (AWESOME car BTW), and he always laughs and says "I get about 20MPG. If I drive really easy." His mileage drops to the low teens if he is romping. Which luckily, you probably aren't romping a 400HP GTO for very long. LOL!

Oh wow look. A rip off of the Ridgeline, and Avalanche...

Same thing I thought.

But fuck, I honestly threw up a little when I saw the pictures. The front end is just horrible!

[lil_dcb7]

it sucks.

It angers me.

[cp[mike]]

wow, and uglified-by-toyota version of the ridgeline.

[NAiL05]

If my penis looked like that I would chop it off.

And I didn't even think that was possible!
