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.

Why can’t manufacturers make a brake pedal with a light resistance in the regen range, then an increased resistance in the mechanical range so you can feel in the pedal when you transition but make the actual vehicle braking smooth throughout the entire range? It would be the easy compromise between one pedal driving and normal driving, where you can tell when you are at max regen while braking and thus hold it there until you need more brake power and press harder for the brake pads to kick in smoothly.

It’s nice (especially when towing) when you are stuck merging from an off ramp with traffic that would rather let you side-swipe them (lane traffic has right of way over on-ramp merging traffic) then slow down and let you in. Niche situation for most, but still important to consider. When not dealing with traffic, a torque converter and appropriate gearing can get you all the torque you need to get moving from pretty much any situation, just spread out over a longer time as the mechanics keep adjusting to modify/increase your torque at a given speed. It’s why an old 70’s Mack truck can tow so much even at highway speeds, but takes forever to accelerate compared to the rest of traffic. Nowadays, automatics are so smooth and have so many gears that it already feels like you have instant continuous torque (at least if you aren’t comparing it to an EV).

Has to start somewhere, these are basically the worst they will ever be. I remember the nissan leaf was $38k in 2011 dollars and 80 miles range, now it is $29k with 140 miles range in 2024 dollars with double the charging speed and 50 more hp. The next gen is launching in march 2025 and is expected to have 230 miles range and another another 50% increase in charging speed and a hp boost.

I hate the seats in all the truck brands. I'm shocked at how clueless manufacturers have been when it comes to comfort and ergonomics. Something simple like extending the length on the seat to cover more leg area (hamstring support....?), they still have not integrated, but yet I can buy a car or SUV for a fraction of the cost and it has more comfortable seats. RAM in my opinion has the most comfortable seats just because of the length, the seat is roughly 2 to 3 inches from my knees offering a lot more support, where as Ford and GM have shorter seats. Those short seats end up putting more pressure on your lower back and especially on longer drives it becomes uncomfortable.

That’s a nice looking vehicle with many great features. Unfortunately it s priced way out of reach of normal people. Even if charging infrastructure was good, this should be around $60,000 to be competitive with F150 XLT 4x4 in Atlanta market. Lack of charging should mean it should be really selling no more than $50,000. Who is going to buy this?

Most people outside the city didn't have electric. Also the batteries back then were much lower density around 1/4 what it is today.

IMO the only way EV trucks make sense for normal is if they increase the battery warranty significantly. 100k truck with a battery warranty of only 8 years or 100k miles. Most people will be scared to own one of these outside of warranty. Which means resale is going to be horrible. Who can afford to gamble 50k on a 4-5 year old truck with 101k miles on it? Lets be realistic. EVs currently are throw away vehicles. Meaning when the battery goes, repair/replacement costs more than the vehicle is worth. Ironic that they push them as green. Lots of older vehicles still on the road with their second or third engine. Almost no one is going to be willing to put a 30-40k battery into a 5 year old truck that's worth maybe 50k. Worse, Imagine buying a used one and owing 30k on it only to be told it needs a 30k repair to be usable. The warranty needs to be better. At least 160k miles 12 years

@@8ball_998 That is why you get a used battery from a wrecked vehicle(as long as you inspect the health). GM shares this battery platform with all their other EV vehicles and it is modular so you might not have to replace the whole thing. Longer range EVs have fewer charge cylces for the same distance traveled. That is why a lot of early 24kwh leaf batteries dies cause they only had 80 mile range when new, meaning 12.5 charges per 1000 miles vs the Silverado 2.3 charges per thousand miles traveled

@JD-yx7be Don't get me wrong, I own a model 3. I actually like EVs because they are fun to drive. With a level 2 charger in my garage, it's a great commuter. But I bought it knowing I was rolling the dice that it could be scrap in 4 years or so if the battery craps out after a 100k. A 5 year old model 3 is not worth the 15-20k battery replacement cost. The biggest difference is cost was a 3rd of what these trucks are priced at.

@@8ball_998 you are quoting a new battery for a car that has over 100k miles that will still have worn body, interior, suspension, etc. A used healthy battery will make much more sense. I replaced the engine on my at the time 10 year old vw passat with another used engine

I find it ironic that you use taking soy as an insult, but then admit to knowing details on the appropriate soy supplement level. I also think you are on the wrong channel and no one understands your “witty dis”

They are selling a shade as an accessory, thou it should be included. I agree that paying for a feature you don’t want sucks, but this is true for any trim that includes features you don’t want. If you really want this truck without the sunroof, you can opt for the 4WT trim instead of the RST trim.

This is just a feature of the debut RST for one year only, next year will have the option for a sliding shade and an opening panoramic roof. Debut models from GM are the basically equipped this way in year one for EV’s lately.

Can you say ……..Avalanche ????

Worst thing Chevrolet could have dun..

I’ll buy it in 3 years when it has lost 70% of it’s value

It’s going to be a big failure like the $100k hummer

Avalanche EV

I would destroy that thing in months, not yesrs. EVs are not mesnt for hauling or towing, and they definitely aren't durable for ranch work. My biggest fear would be a battery fire on the ranch after all the jostling and backcountry workouts. No thanks. It's another poser truck.

No truck or car is worth $90k-100k at any configuration. Only stupid people with too much money will buy posers!

What a ridiculous product to market and also make a video about. No one is buying this aside from 5 dudes that are too busy to watch KZread lol

Stop the EV bull! Nobody wants one period! Unless you’re a battery maker in China!

Chevy EV: too late, too expensive, too ugly, too 💩.

Quit promoting this ev crap. We all know the range is tiny with any trailer. Combine with cold weather and you will be lucky to have 100 miles of range.

This is the first generation and basically the worst it will ever get. I believe this truck has heat scavenging plus a heat pump so should have way more range than the 22/23 f150 lighting in the winter

what an absolute garbage "sponsored" review, shame that Truck king has fallen so far in such a shot time, and here I thought Roman from TFL was the biggest douche bag.

And here I was.. hoping your channel would help rational people boycott EV’s. Disappointing…

Why are you guys showing these garbage EV vehicles. No body bought into this nonsense and corruption. Absolute corruption in Ontario.

Tires will be good for 20k😅😅
