I'm now towing with a Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition Off-Road Hybrid and am really happy with it. Not only does this truck have more horsepower and torque than my 2nd Gen Tundra SR5 with the V8, the suspension doesn't squat at all.

Great choice for me, when I stomp on the throttle it heeds the call.

What's your experience?
 
Curious what you tow and what range you get
Have been towing a Hybrid Roo 23IKSS. 25'4" long with two slides. Our new rig is a Surveyor 202RBLE, three inches shorter and about 300 pounds lighter with one slide.

My truck with stock tires got close to 25 mpg on the highway. With the AT tires I put on it gets about 22 mpg highway. Driving down NC12 from Nags Head to Hatteras Village I can get 25 mpg.

Towing I get between 8 and 11 mpg, depending on the hills. When I'm on the flats I can get 15 mpg.
 
Towing with an EV or Hybrid is more or less the same as ICE.
As noted A 20 mpg+ Pickup holds what 20 gallons of gas/diesel give or take and goes about 400 miles on a tank.

EV bobtail goes about the same EREV's go about 600

Towing you get perhaps 8 and a tank lasts what 150 miles

EV Recharge may go a bit farther between re-charge.. may not.

Question how does "FAST CHARGING" affect the EV's battery?
Read up on that yesterday Still have the article in History
