If anything really NEEDS to be a hybrid, it's big pickup trucks.

The first hybrids were tiny compact cars. That's pointless! Tiny compacts already get good mileage. They were squeezing turnips!

Many people have legitimate needs for a powerful truck. Problem is, the don't haul stuff all the time. I bought a larger truck (still smallish, at 6 cylinders) to tow my sailboat. We use it as a car 99% of the time, so it really should be a hybrid, and only use the extra power when pulling a load.

I think big hybrids definitely have their place, unless you just like to point fingers at big vehicles, and accuse them of not being green enough.
