4th Gen Hemi Hybrid?

[Trupiano]

Anybody hear of this? Guess it was back in May of 2011?

I mean 32 MPG isn't bad at all, even if only gets it for 50 miles...

Figures, Chrysler has no plans to mass produce the truck... ******* car companies! E.A.D!

I think it's a cool idea in concept, but I don't think I would want one. Just one more thing to go wrong.

i remember reading about these a while back. i thought it was kinda stupid....

Want me to get better mileage? Give me a manual transmission! I promise I would get better mileage with a manual transmission, especially to this slippy piece of crap automatic they put in my poor truck.

Oooor a 6 sp double over drive with some real rear gears, not this 3.55's to drag around this big honkin truck. Silly ars Ram.

Yeah, you gotta wonder why they keep puting in the same-ish transmission, knowing that Mopar guys love to mod there vehicles, and these tranny's can't take **** for power... what has Mopar come to.

Hybrid technology just isn't ready for the truck market IMO
Not toention how hard it's going to be to sway truck guys to that side

I mean the silverado hybrid has been out for sometime now and hasn't done anything for itself

The building guys have a crew cab Hybrid LTZ Silverado. It's kind of neat crawling through the parking lot without the engine running. Honestly, at LANL (it's a BIIIG site) hybrids are a decent idea. You never break 40 MPH, and it's a lot of short trips.
