Hybrid tow vehicle?

I've been considering replacing my gas vehicle for an electric, but then figured it would be useful if this vehicle could also tow... so perhaps a hybrid as a compromise.
However, I don't like driving a full size truck, currently have a midsize SUV...I'd prefer midsize SUV or truck.
We still use our 2003 7.3l diesel Excursion just for towing, but not sure how long it's got left lol.
Also, our TT died on the Alcan so isn't with us anymore.. We are looking at some lighter TT options, but likely GVWR 7000.
Thanks!

    Toyota is coming out with a hybrid Tundra with plenty of power to tow 7K loads. I believe that the F-150 also has something in the works. This years Tundra has an Ecoboost wannabe set up with a turbo charged V-6. I think mileage is a big focus as companies move forward. Of course, all these improvements come with rather large costs.
