There is a plug in hybrid Rav4, and it is delightful for what it is. Fast acceleration and light off road capability make it good for city driving, backwoods gravel, and even some rutting out jeep trails.

Those look nice. I need a pickup though. I have to put hay in the back from time to time and inside a SUV it gets really messy. I would also want more ground clearance. I could use a trailer but it really limits where I can park.
I'd be surprised if Toyota doesn't offer hybrid trucks soon. Ford is doing it, Toyota has good hybrid tech, it's relatively easy to stuff some batteries under the bed, etc. The current generation started MY2015, so maybe their next gen Tacoma will be a good time to add hybrid options.
Toyota already offers a hybrid version of the Tundra.
