This may suprise some but I think I have found the ultimate hunting vehicle. I have been using my wife's Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, 4WD. I like it so much that I am going to buy a Chevy or GMC Silverado or Sierra 1500 Hybrid for myself. In the Hybrid all-electric mode I can enter a hunting area quitely and without the smell of emissions with the engine off. I can cover a lot of area in the stealth mode and not spook game. I can also run the electric A/C or heater/defroster without the engine running. When I need a lot of power the 6.0L V-8 and 4WD is available (it runs in 4WD in electric as well). The fuel savings getting to and from the hunting area allows me to spend money in other areas...like guns & ammo. Towing & load capacity is great. I have travelled up to 13 miles with the gas engine off at up to 25 MPH. The mapping and navigation is also handy as I can chart where I have been off-road as well. I can run 110 volt appliances from the rear outlet. There's also ON-Star for emergencies. 4WD selections are 2WD, Auto, 4Hi, 4Lo. Eaton Locking Diff standard. Has tow/haul mode and optionl Manual/Electric gear selection. Shocks can be switched from highway to off-roade mode (stiffens suspension). Traction control can be switched ON/OFF.
