If they do many highway trips (and don't plan to haul trailers &c), I'd suggest going with the Volt and getting an older pickup for the odd jobs and rough dirt roads. Though I've never sat in a Volt, I would bet that it's going to be far more comfortable on a long trip than a pickup - in addition to getting a lot better mpg.
