I sell Toyotas. People will still buy v6 ebngines and will still buy trucks if they want them. I had someone who had a smal dodge neon and always wanted a truck, came in and traded for it.
Trucks get the utility availible, tacomas have always sold big suck as ford rangers, colorados, and other vehicles in that class but at the same time the Tundra and F150 and F250 still sell, the tundra now more then ever because of the feel of it. a v8 5.7 liter gets 14-18 epa rated, If i set it on cruise doing t60mph going on a flat road, i see 22 average maybe 24.
Hell the 3.5 liter v6 engines in the toyotas get 28mpg hwy and 19 city normally. Thats not bad at all. The only 4 cyl that gets decend mpg is the corrolla at 27-35 but people tell me they see 32-40 real world without flooring it.
The Hybrid will help to solve alot... unortunatly theres only so far it can go with bigger vehicles so they are goign to have to come up with solutions to help push the tech over the edge.
I wouldn;t be suprised to see a full sized truck thats a true hybrid in the next 5 or so years,
