Cool, but, what is so great about a 500 mile cruising range?

My F-150 could travel about 560 miles on a tankful.
Of course, I had a large tank


I would still rather have a Diesel light truck.

Wings;
notice what they are emphasizing is not range by fuel economy.
I do not think GM is out to make money with their two modes. They are not looking for volume with these trucks.
They are looking for the green title. Its a clever strategy, if you ask me. This will go a long way in helping domestic take back the green image from foreigners.
I love the truck personally, but I would take a Normal Denali or King ranch, becouse I really do not have real use for a truck
