What is a Hybrid Truck?

First things first, you may be wondering if a hybrid truck is different from a hybrid like the 2024 Prius. It’s a great question to ask and the answer is yes! Hybrids can come in many different forms with different types of hybrid engines available. The common denominator you will find on every hybrid car model is it uses a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor fed by a battery to create forward motion. However, unlike a purely electric vehicle (EV) it runs off of gasoline. Hybrids come in many difference verisons from a mild hybrid to a plug in hybrid truck. Let’s get further into how the Clermont hybrid truck models differ from other hybrid vehicles. 

How are Hybrid Trucks different from other hybrid vehicles?

Hybrids are commonly known for their eco-friendly qualities and ability to save you money on gas with every ride. However, did you know that hybrid engines also give your truck a boost in power? It’s one of the benefits of owning a Clermont Toyota hybrid that isn’t talked about as often. It’s able to do this because the mechanics of the hybrid system are different from a traditional system available on the Clermont Toyota Prius.

For example, the 2024 Tundra and 2024 Tacoma’s hybrid engine system works by combining the power of a twin-turbo V6 with a motor generator and a clutch located within the bell housing of the engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. The mechanics of the i-FORCE MAX powertrain increase power with almost instant activation of the clutch.
