2010 GMC Sierra Hybrid

GMC is challenging the Silverado’s supremacy in the pickup truck class by reinventing the new 2010 GMC Sierra Hybrid. Whoever said that owning a truck meant that you were killing the environment was wrong. Lets face it, if you you need a truck to get around or if you need a truck for your business, a minivan or compact car just won’t work.

The Sierra was designed for people who want to save on gas but who can’t afford to give up their big truck needs (though if you don’t need a truck you should give it up for a lighter vehicle). The hybrid electric engine works as a supplemental drive that works in tandem with the gas engine. This unique hybrid system works well for those who need the hauling power.

Also I know that many of you truck fans love your morning coffee. I see you all line up at Tim Horton’s for your morning fix. For these people the Sierra is perfect because for 0-48 km/hr you will be running on pure electric power. So if you are idling in a parking lot or crawling through construction sites you can rest assured you won’t be losing a drop of gas.

The most impressive feature about the new Sierra Hybrid is it’s fuel efficiency. The truck gets 9.8 L/100km (29mpg) in the city and 9.2 (31mpg) out on the highway! That’s better than my minivan! In fact that’s the best I’ve seen in most new car line-ups.

If you work hard but are a Hippie at heart you’ll love the new Sierra. It really is a good balance between the two worlds.
