Wonder how the gas mileage is.
Oh, sure......there ya go trying to throw cold water on a good time. It's my daily driver but, alas, it could be easier on the wallet when it comes to fuel economy. My Suburban has HF, VHF, UHF, 700-800 MHz, 2-way Xmit capabilities. No whacker items: no strobes, wig-wags, siren, cage or front push bumper. It is equipped a Unity spotlight (anyone who's owned a vehicle with one will tell you the transition to a vehicle WITHOUT one is stressful.) The Toughbook is equipped with touch screen capability making using those itty-bitty buttons on the radios unnecessary while driving. A Verizon air card allows me to remain online as I drive. The vehicle was purchased and equipped specifically as a stable, robust mobile data and radio platform.
Who knows? While they have a "green" Tahoe Hybrid, they forgot to make a Suburban Hybrid. Did I mention the 42 gallon tank? When gas was over $4 a gallon it was possible to suffer through a $150 fillup at the local gas station.
