That buys you a lot of gas.

Assuming gas is at $2.50, and if the hybrid option is $6,000, that money could buy you 2,400 gallons of gas. Now lets say you average 18 mpg in your truck. That gets you nearly 44,000 miles before you start a return on your investment.

Not factoring any extra costs that might be there from plugging in your ride from time to time or nightly if you are really using the juice and not regenerating it enough each day.

Its not an easy sell in all cases, but that said, I still think its worth doing, and hopefully as time goes on the costs go down.

Well just saying, the newest iteration of the GM eAssist mild hybrid system costs just $500 on Silverado/Sierra. There are factory assist steps available that cost more than that system.
