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.

Ok it looks like the last YM for a GM hybrid truck is YM2011. I thought they were still in production.
Go to Compare New and Used Hybrid Cars, Trucks and SUVs enter say 2006 through 2013 and select chevy, cadillac and GMC. For vehicle class select truck and SUV.
I guess they dont sell them for YM2012 and since they werent selling hardly any.
Look at the highway MPG on those hybrid trucks and SUVs, they all SUCK!
If they got 55mpg out of a hybrid modded ford explorer they must have been hypermiling it for all it was worth.
