To modify a truck such as this in some of the ways described here would still allow it to tow and carry many thousands of pounds in weight. Check out the Via link I gave above. Believe it or not, they even have hybrid Fedex trucks and big rigs. |
There are more efficient cars and vans that can probably do most, if not all the hauling you may need to do... but you know what you are hauling and how often, not us. I'll assume you know what you need and that the truck fits the bill.
First, did you happen to get a manual tranny in yours?
There are a few people on this forum that have managed impressive numbers with large diesel trucks.
Search for DieselDave and Big Dave. Your name isn't Dave, is it? You'd fit right in...
A quick
search would have found you this thread:

That may give you some ideas to pursue for converting to Hybrid.
