It doesn't move the truck.  It only charges the battery that powers the electric motors.  The "mileage" it gets is from how far it will run before the gas engine runs out of gas powering the battery.  It's essentially a generator.  They're saying powering just one of the two electric motors will get you 690 miles.  That's with 27 gallons of gas.  For heavy duty towing and hauling you use both electric motors and that'll drop the range down quite a bit.  But if just regular driving you can go pretty far.</p></blockquote><p></p>
