Inside Toyota's Hybrid Truck

Not really the same. The Silverado is actually a truck. And it
doesn't really get very good gas mileage.

Re: Inside Toyota's Hybrid Truck
The size of a Rav 4, and able to fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Although it's
one of the ugliest cars I've seen, both inside and out, I bet it appeals to
a certain segment. I wonder how long it would take the camper manufactures
to design a topper for it and how much uglier that would make it.

That is not a TRUCK, that is a warthog, amalgamated with an Avalanche
with a touch of Darth Vader thrown in.
Ugly doesn't quite describe it, it is worse.
But, knowing American consumers, it will sell.
