But at a $100.000 bucks...what are monthly payments gonna be like?? Do car companys think everyone makes $500 an hour or wht?

Would be cool with a 6.2 and 6-speed manual

Going to be a sells flop. Just too expensive

[CraigSmith]

I did not like the look of the front end until I saw the work truck. Not only does it look better, but the 18" wheels are a huge improvement. I'm wondering if the mid bar is removeable when you open the mid gate and remove the rear window. At 2:45 it looks like it is removed. Otherwise I don't get why you would remove the rear window. The work truck would be my choice, but at $80, 000 I don't see me replacing my current truck any time soon. With how I use a truck an EV would be a viable option.

I don’t understand this truck at all. Way too heavy and expensive. If you need to pull heavy, buy a diesel for less. Weight of a 1 ton, payload of a 1/2 ton, who can resist? Instead, why not go with a small commuter truck, Maverick sized, that can’t tow more than a utility trailer, but it costs $40k instead of 100k. I can’t see how the Silverado EV can ever be a volume seller. Thanks for the review, Steve.

Imagine what the repair on the 4 wheel steering and battery packs would cost. This is a unibody “truck” as well and the glass roof would be a no go for me.

Rented this truck for 9 days and the screen blackout and the AC gave out due to a HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGE which was prompt on the screen. I had no AC on a hot day while it was raining. I was in Texas when this all happened

Save your money until it’s fixed

[MarkWitzel]

I can't even fathom how insanely expensive insurance will be on this truck.

[mattlimberg]

I agree with you on the regen, I want slight regen on with the option to increase it quickly to do my braking. The Model 3s that I have driven had max regen on and it was a jerky transition for me that reminded me of a SxS braking when you lift off the throttle.

[joshc]

Commenters dont understand this truck. People are paying 90k for 1/2 ton truck that never tows. But they like to say they can tow. Thats this truck. Will you tow, maybe? But can you tow yes.

Excellent video, I want to see the burn the tires off mode lol!!! Keep up the good work!!

Recoup 100 miles of range in ten minutes of charging (if you can find a 350 kW charger). I can recoup 520 miles of range in five minutes when I fill up my gasoline truck.

[JMJR]

I live just north of the Oshawa plant but didn’t realize they had a testing oval. It’s not shown on Google Maps but is on Apple Maps, north east corner of Stevenson and Phillip Murray

[backlash]

If the price was more reasonable I could see the trades using a work truck version. Being able to run your gear on site without needing a generator would be nice. As far as the RST . Having no choice but to have that enormous glass roof and giant wheels and tires. No thanks.

[tyalderdice]

I think the issue with the lack of wow on the interior is that we have seen 90% of it before with Blazer EV and Traverse and Equinox EV reviews. Personally I love the screens but I get it

[JoeMichaud]

Chevy trucks highest trim is called GMC, not disappointed with Chevy's RST trim!

[santiagohills]

The price is eye watering but I suspect that prices will drop as they get production rates up in the battery plant. The Bolt top trim was >$40k in 2018 and <$33k in 2023, even with all the inflation. And 2023 was their best ever sales volume year.

[KeithHendrickson]

At that price, I think the interior is good as it is. If they would have made it more fancy, you would be adding $1, 000s to the price tag. It is already priced above what most people can afford.

[LPM.]

They should have just painted the kettle black, and called it what it really avalanche. Then, they should have thrown a 3.0 LZO diesel in it and called it a day.

Makes me want to hold onto my Ram 1500 Tradesman Hemi even more. Was $32k brand new in 2020 and paid it off early. Simple enough to mod and maintain with enough power for what I need and decent mpg and almost 600 mile range.
