I can't see making a hybrid truck. First, most hybrids have SMALLer motors, which lowers overall hauling power. Second, the drive train is spec'ed to increase mileage, again making hauling power an afterthought. Powerful engine, lots of torque, and heavy duty drive train are opposite to small engine, light and efficient drive train with power assisted electric motor to help out the anemic engine. That goes for HUGE SUV's too. The whole idea of a hybrid is a small, light, vehicle with tweaked CVT transmission to get the highest mpg's. I doubt a CVT makes a very good candidate for pulling a boat or any heavy load in the back.
