That is about 26MPG pretty damn good for a truck and you can increase that with intermittent charging with no fear of running out of charge.

Not magical but not bad.
Yup. But I think the more important thing is that the engine generator can keep the battery at an optimal state of charge while towing and allow it to tow heavy loads for hundreds of miles. And during that time it can refill at gas pumps instead of charging stations. Best of both worlds. I’d be shocked (pun intended) if GM and Ford didn’t follow the same path.
