Yeah, max towing capacity is quite a bit lower than the non-hybrids, but supposedly the second-gen models will be much closer to their conventional counterparts in towing, from what I've heard.

Well I took a Silverado Hybrid for a test drive and I have to disagree with the MT reviewer. I found the take-off to be suffering from what is similar to turbolag. The truck started slow and then a few seconds later power kicked in. Probably do to the fact that only the electric motor is used at first. But what really bugged me (and no one can explain) is when I tried to accelerate hard to highway merging speed the truck seemed to loose power at about 50mph. Not good when I need to get to 65+mph on a congested fast moving highway. Otherwise I liked the truck. Even with my heavy footed test drive the truck got 18+mpg. Better than my current Silverado that gets 12mpg
