Not me. I like a truck that can haul stuff without worrying about the distance traveled.

I would buy a hybrid but not a pure electric.

Absolutely not.

The technology still isn't there yet.

I'm in GLC's camp. A hybrid is a great "bridge" between pure petroleum power and pure electrical power. I think Ford should work on hybrid technology for now.

Would a hybrid truck pull a load long distance? I doubt it.

Roadie, I think it depends on the load you are pulling. I pull a 3500# telescoping trailer with my 3.5L Ecoboost, and I suspect a well-designed hybrid would pull that just fine.

Ford does have a 3.5 Ecoboost F150 hybrid. They call it the Powerboost. Claimed to tow up to 12700# with max tow package. 430 HP, and 570 torque.

The Powerboost hybrid is quite usable.

It's as usable as any other 1/2 ton truck is what I'm saying.
