I think GRU hit the nail on the head: If you want to drive "big" and want to drive fast, and since much of your driving is on the open road, then your best efforts will be spent on aerodynamics (EDIT: and possibly gearing).
I doubt you'll be able to justify the cost of a workable DIY hybridization that will meet your needs.
Fortunately, aero mods can be relatively inexpensive, and the payback can be relatively fast on a large, thirsty vehicle. (Gearing mods, probably less so on both counts.)
Hopefully you're not averse to modifications which will make your vehicle look "out of the ordinary". Otherwise, no cake for you!
