How did they get the base price up from 39k to 72k. That's terrible.
They cancelled the Bolt to make more of these and now they are going to be totally puzzled why they don't sell as well. Never change, GM.

It looks more like an Avalanche than it does a Silverado.😂

Chevrolet will always get the award for "We saw the market and what it wants but totally screwed the pooch."

[RapidRaptor]

$77k for a work truck? Nah. We reserved a $39k version but this is a non starter.

You know what I need in my work truck. 510 horse power and an 80 thousand price tag.

[matthewlibanio]

I am just shocked that for car guys you don't realize that GM basically created an homage to the Avalanche. Not Honda and not anything else. The Avalanche started this look 2 decades ago.

Holy shit the difference in price compared to what they originally planned on is absurd

[nolainnogain]

That price is insane. Good luck with all 3 sales, chevy.

“You see these hands… These are keyboard hands.“ That cracked me up. 😂 Great video guys.

A good thing about the bed/fender situation is that, unlike Rivian, GM broke the side panel with that plastic trim piece above and behind the rear door window, which will conceal any weld seam in case the fender panel needs to be replaced. Doesn't look amazing, but will make a fender bender less horribly expensive, and the body is also steel, instead of aluminium.

9:52 the wheels on the WT are surprisingly nice and way more appropriate for a pickup than the ridiculous 24s with rubberband tires on the RST.

[cunawarit]

The work version is way cooler, I like the smaller wheels over the huge wheels on the others. The RST doesn't look purposeful it looks like a soft truck.

[LongWalker]

RIP gas trucks?? LOL. Seeing the base price and towing range of this just makes me want a gas truck even more.

[Ruddline]

Something about GMC EV motors is so relaxing. I love how they sound with no whine and the smooth drive.

[lordcorgi]

Buying an EV from a company with a long history of electrical problems sounds like a great idea.

Next time you see a vehicle with a headlight out, 90% chance it's a GM.

[javierpalomares]

I hope that GM actually fixed how the Avalanche's tailgate would eventually start to leak. many owners ended up caulking the midgate shut because of it.

[leogrievous]

Imagine not disclosing the gas tank size in an ICE car.

[vroooom]

That title is going to trigger a whole lot of people 😂

[ThomasTheTankEngine]

RIP to repairability when you get rear ended or hit on the side. Should've made the bed a separate piece.

[quixomega]

This review caught me by surprise. This truck is one that's been talked about seemingly forever and I wasn't expecting to see one this early! Maybe September...
