Consumers will not understand until they own one. Have you tried taking it on long trips? You can be idling in the rest stop for an hour and not notice a difference in mileage because it cycles ICE and EV or autostop.

 

I sat and watched a movie for over an hour this tank I'm headed for a 20+ mpg my jeep wrangler was sitting around 15 or 16 ave mpg..drove to Chicago but only had 18mpg but 8 mph so I think that's great at that speed

 

I think they should of marketed a stripped down hybrid tahoe model to law enforcement. Think of how much gas and money that would of saved.

 

I know a bunch were sold to municipalities

 

I am really shocked about this. The government actually did something smart for a change? I think they should be using hybrids for at least 50% of their fleet

 

It can't be used for LEO though because it is governed at 99mph.

 

Why they stopped.

That's just disappointing. I'll miss the ICE and EV cycling and even if I'm parked and idling for hours, it barely use any fuel.

 

Hmmm, I own a 2013 Yukon Denali Hybrid and I not only care about the environment, but I do more than my share to improve the environment; someone will have to explain to me how owning a large Hybrid means I don't care...

Before this Hybrid, I have owned Yukon Denalis, Tahoes and Suburbans before that. One big reason I think the Hybrid models didn't sell is because people had no idea they existed, myself included. When I found out, I rushed to buy one before they were all gone. To date I have not seen another in my area of Washington state, and people see mine and can't believe it is really a hybrid. A marketing plan might have been a good idea to help sales.

Already put just shy of 30K on my 2013 in it's first year, and I love this vehicle; especially since it pulls my boat anywhere I want it to.

 

I bought mine new back in 2009 and have made 179k trouble free miles.
