GM Announces Pricing for 2009 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Hybrids
General Motors has announced pricing for the all-new 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid and 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid light-duty pickups.
Prices for the Silverado Hybrid will start at $38,995, including a $975 destination charge, for 2WD models with the 1HY package. The 1HY package includes heavy-duty towing hardware, a locking rear differential, EZ Lift tailgate and lock, and 18-inch wheels. Also included are automatic climate control, steering-wheel audio controls and Bluetooth phone capability.
A more upscale 2HY package will also be available with the same features as the 1HY, plus navigation radio, leather-trimmed seating, a hard tonneau cover and rear parking assist. Its MSRP will be $45,130.
The GMC Sierra Hybrid will start at $39,365, including a $975 destination charge, for 2WD models with the 3HA package, and $45,500, including destination, for the upscale 3HB package.
Both trucks carry an approximately $3,000 premium over comparable conventionally equipped 6.0-liter V-8 Silverado and Sierra pickups.
The Silverado and Sierra Hybrids use GM's two-mode hybrid system and a 6.0-liter gas V-8.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for 2WD models is 21/22 mpg city/highway; 4WD models are estimated at 20 mpg in city and highway driving. That mileage, combined with a 26-gallon fuel tank, delivers a cruising range of more than 500 miles for 2WD models and more than 470 miles for 4WD models.
Production begins in December, with delivery to dealers expected in early 2009.
The MSRP does not reflect a $2,200 federal tax credit that applies to certain customers who purchase the hybrids.
