We'd probably buy a couple of hybrid pickup trucks at work right now if they were available. Of course the first one's available will be fully loaded models which won't appeal to commercial buyers.

Supposedly the hybrid Tahoe hasn't been all that successful. I guess the tree huggers don't want an SUV? I think the hybrid full size trucks are due next year. Personally, I think they should skip the hybrids and go for small displacement diesels. 25-30 MPG should be easily possible in a full size truck, and the high torque diesel easily lends itself to hauling and towing duties.
