Honestly that doesn’t make much sense.
 
Unfortunately most hybrids barely have any regenerative braking, which is the only benefit you could possibly get in mileage from that kind of vehicle.
 
Highway mileage would barely change, since your limiting factor is probably aerodynamics.
 
Hybrids are good when you want a large power range but need little sustained power for cruising. Second is rarely the case on a truck based SUV.

I know someone with a Ford Fusion hybrid with regenerative braking who gets about 40 mpg. Obviously a Fusion is lighter and more aerodynamic than something like an Expedition, but I don’t see why a big hybrid SUV couldn’t be more efficient than a big ICE SUV provided the battery is large enough. If MPG could just get around 30 that would be huge.
 
The Lincoln Aviator coming out later this summer will also be offered as a plug-in hybrid which, if the impressive horsepower and torque figures (450 and 600!) are anything to go by, will not be a penalty box like most hybrids. I’ll be keeping an eye on that one.

You might want to look at the astronomical numbers this heavily modified 94 Caprice without hybrid batteries gets. It still has the 5.7 V8 (good low end torque) and the owner does lots of engine off coasting. Low gear ratio, manual trans swap, aero mods, engine shutoff switch for easy engine off coasting etc. Car’s still 4400 lbs.
 
With that said, I know it’s a huge outlier. Not everyone’s good just going in a straight line or braking in time, let alone engine off coasting.

Just found out the name of one of the shows. One of them was Fast N’ Loud. I’m still stumped on the name of the other one but it wasn’t Wheeler Deelers. Maybe if I check the guide, I can find it.
 
Speaking of car-related shows. Has anyone here watched Top Gear on BBC? It’s another good show.

I think BBC cancelled the original series and started a new one after firing Jeremy Clarkson for…well, being Jeremy Clarkson.
 
There was also an American version that was on the History Channel, but a lot of the old school fans didn’t like it and it was cancelled in 2016.

I never even knew about the American version of the show until now. But yeah, given all the terrible things Jeremy Clarson has done, I can definitely understand why they got rid of him for someone else.

Probably just as bad as the Trabant - the whole of the Eastern Bloc wasn’t particularly good at making decent consumer goods. Rockets, tanks, or small arms like the AK-47, sure. But stuff the everyday person could use, more than likely not up anywhere near to par on what you could get in Western countries.
 
@kleptomage  
Well, Clarkson I think already had a reputation for being an asshole, and not being particularly politically correct. But him allegedly getting into a physical altercation or abusing production staff was the final straw. Though frankly, in a sane world, abusing or fighting with show staff would be the one and only straw that gets someone in a position like Clarkson’s fired.

At least the Toyota Tacoma is tried and true in its reliability, especially when you compare it to the likes of the Chevy Colorado and Nissan Frontier.
 
Speaking of the Frontier.

It looks the same since they adopted this design last freakin’ decade. Even the Titan looks far more modern!
