Hybrid Tahoe

Anyone know any inside info on next years Hybrid Tahoe?

I need a new full sized SUV next year and the Tahoe interests me. I like vehicles with plenty of power that can pull a trailer/car every now and then. I am hoping to find a vehicle which is large, can pull and gets better than 16/17 MPG. I drive lots of miles each day.

GM claims 25% MPG improvement which translates into about 4 extra MPG. Not too impressive, but not too bad either. I have heard rumors of a $10,000 premium for the hybrid which is way too much and could really hurt sales - especially one to me.

I am hesitant about buying the first generation of any new technology but they say this style of motor is being used in transit buses around the country. The technology is a joint product between GM, Daimler and BMW.
