Chevy's Silverado still compares well to the new competition from Ford and Dodge, and the new Hybrid model adds to the Silverado's strengths. With seemingly little compromise in ability, our Hybrid tester returned 21.3 mpg in mostly highway driving. For a 4WD pickup, that's impressive. Add in a comfortable interior, and what's probably the best ride quality in the class, and you get a darn nice truck.

Our cloth-cabin'd Hybrid came in at around $42,000, making it the least-expensive 2-Mode we've tested yet. The system works, though I didn't get the fabulous mileage I got in the Escalade or Tahoe. Green cowboys rejoice! Your guilt-assuaging rig is here.
