Maybe we should not be so quick to scratch an electric GMC. Given the conditions, I think that makes more sense than a diesel conversion which saves nothing. Diesel used to be cheap but is even more expensive than gas in most areas. I think the oil companies have actually added a diesel surcharge to the price of a gallon to offset the added mileage you might get, effectively cancelling any cost benefit. An advantage to electricity would be high torque. But that battery would be the major problem, both weight and capacity. Battery technology has moved at a snails pace but hopefully will pick up when gas hits $5 + a gallon. Bottom line is, we are all addicted to cheap fuel and that may come to an end sooner than we are prepared to handle. Rallies will need to be held within 30 miles from home or almost no one will go.
