The 2009 Silverado Hybrid 2WD starts at $38,995, including a $975 destination charge, while the 2009 Sierra Hybrid 2WD starts at $39,365, including shipping.
Four-wheel-drive versions of the hybrid trucks are even more dear. The 2009 Silverado Hybrid 4WD ranges in price from $42,145 for the base model to $48,280 for the top trim level model. Prices include destination.
The 2009 GMC Sierra Hybrid 4WD ranges in price from $42,515 to $48,650 for the up-level model. Prices include destination.
Think the General can pull his off? That's bunch of money--especially in this economy from a company in trouble.

Hey, this is awesome! I was really hoping that there would be some clear way to be patriotic and buy something that was obviously overpriced junk from GM and now I've found it.
I'm sure themechanic will be signing up with me and all the rest of the real Americans to do our part in supporting a troubled business that really needs our dollars more than we do.

I went to Edmunds.com and clicked on Hybrids. I then selected Large. Every single one of them was over $40K. The most expensive being Lexus, at more than $100K.
These pickups aren't cheap, but neither is anyone else.

The gas mileage returns better be fantastic.

so how many of them will they sell? 2? Maybe 3?

With gas under $2, I'd say not enough.
These pickups start in the teens, why are the hybrids so dear?
