General Motors had the opportunity to do something really impressive with the Silverado Hybrid, but what we got instead is a vehicle that has all of the right bones, but none of the followthrough to be really worth it. While the drivetrain tech is right where it needs to be for this kind of vehicle, the rest of the beast is still a big, heavy, quarter-ton truck. Instead of opting for a much lighter standard cab, GM bolted a hefty crew cab on the frame, complete with two additional doors for extra weight. Where are the composite fenders and bed sides? Where's the aluminum hood? Why is this truck still rolling on thick, 18-inch chrome wheels that weigh more than our first car? Why is the transmission still a four-speed instead of a more efficient six-speed, and why didn't GM go with its 4.8-liter V8 or even a V6 instead of the big 6.0-liter mill?
