And in a truck.
Mated to the V8 with 8 speed transmission of the Silverado, the system brings the EPA ratings up to that of the V6 model. 2mpg city and 1mpg highway doesn't look like much on paper, but it could be worth it to someone that actually needs the V8.

A feature to feature comparison can't be done yet, but it appears the eAssist adds just $700 to the steep price of the ICE model. A basic start/stop system runs in the $300 to $500 range as an option. Though just getting the V6 will save a little over $1000 compared to the plain V8.

"GMs latest eAssist iteration is more modular than the previous system, meaning it could be more easily used in FWD or RWD configurations."

Which could mean potential savings for the system if it gets installed in more vehicles, but only 700 of these Chevy and GMC trucks will be made for California this year.

Looks like the battery pack will take away space from the trunk and possibly the rear seat area. 3 planetary gear sets, 5 clutches, and multiple cooling radiators will make it more complex than the Volt drivetrain.
