My roommate’s father, Joe Ferguson, recently purchased a 2009 Sierra Hybrid in early August.
Me: What made you want to purchase a hybrid truck?
Joe: “Well I’ve always bought GMC trucks for years but when this hybrid came out I just wanted one. I didn’t really think I would ever buy a hybrid though.”
Me: What do you like about it?
Joe: “Obviously for the gas mileage. It usually gets around 20 or so in the city and on the highway about 25. I still use it for yard work and hauling around my boat.”
Me: What is the best feature?
Joe: “It’s a good looking truck! That’s what I like about it the most. There’s no way I would have bought it if it had hybrid written all over it. The engine is also very smooth. Definitely the most powerful truck I’ve ever owned.”
The Sierra comes with a 6.0L V8, which gets an estimated 22 MPG in the city. This is definitely the truck for someone who doesn’t want to lose the look and power of the traditional truck. And of course, better gas mileage is always a bonus.
