Toyota was making a lot of noise about a 1/2 ton Hybrid Tundra, but they have been pretty quiet about it lately. I think I read something about Toyota running into a problem?Anyone have any idea?
It would be a big boost for GM to beat Toyota with the 1st "full hybrid" big vehicle that could seriously tow etc. I know GM has a hybrid pickup, but it gives just a modest mpg improvement. The built in generator is probably its main selling point(and a good one). Thanks.Charlie
You never know... Toyota might be having trouble adapting HSD to a large pickup truck. HSD seems like a great solution for small to midsize cars and small SUVs, but maybe it isn't ideal for big trucks.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
