Just as GM tried to sell the previous version of the Silverado Hybrid emphasis on their ability to function as a generator, model 2009 was designed to contain the maximum consumption.
Its engine is the same 6.0 V8 of 332 hp and 500 Nm electrically assisted and we have seen in the Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade hybrids mechanics with which GM claims it can cut its sed ‘by 40%’ when circulating city (a good tinker eye that is 12 litres/100 km), and ’25%’ in combined cycle.
In theory, these figures make it the pickup ‘full size’ more efficient the entire U.S. market. In addition and as the Escalade Hybrid can operate in electric mode up to 48 km / h even when towing loads (the stop is 2767 kg).
Depending on battery power, is able to run 1.6 km up before you start emptying the tank, and GM engineers have implemented a number of enhancements for quieter operation under all conditions. Additionally, the body has been touched up with a new front air intake and a standard cover for the box.
The only drawback is the loss of space for bags in the back row, as the battery pack resides under the bench, where normally there is a hole to store bags or boxes of tools. Nothing to lose sleep, seeing what their owners can save on gas.
