No, the trouble with hybrid pickup trucks is that there aren't any out there that you can buy.
10 years back I saw the winner of the future truck competition, 55mpg out of a hybrid Ford Explorer, requirements for it were that it still have the advertised cargo space, towing capacity, seating capacity and they got points for using off the shelf parts and for showing that it could be built and sold at a reasonable price.
