The built in outlets definitely are nice for tailgating, camping, and running power tools. I wouldn't buy it for the gas savings. In my case the dealer was trying to get rid of the truck and offered over 10 grand worth of incentives. The hybrid parts are a bit of a double edged sword. The manual states that hybrid parts are warrantied for 8 years...does that include the electric power steering pump and brakes since they're specific to the hybrid? If so, the extra warranty adds to the value of the hybrid. Batteries not included.
