Utility of what? Hauling your groceries home then recharging for the next 8 hours?

GM stated that the work truck will NOT come with the midgate. Meaning that people who would be most likely to use it, the kind that use their truck to do more than go to the grocery store, will have to pay large sums of money for additional features they didn't want in order to get something that can haul 8 foot cargo. It hurt when you said GM has no current plans for any other versions of the Silverado EV. I understand that can change but the only thing holding me back on an electric truck is the lack of an 8 foot bed or at least something remotely close. A truck without a normal bed is just a really, REALLY heavy rolling paper weight. If I wanted four doors and a trunk I'd get a Tesla.

I really hope that GM remembers that people who don't own trucks also want to take advantage of bi-directional charging (including Vehicle to Load and Vehicle to Grid capabilities). I really hope they offer these features on the Blazer and Equinox EV models as well.

I can't even imagine the range with 20k lbs being towed, you'll be lucky to make it from one charge station to the next, it'll take you 3 days to go 150 miles.

The "mid-gate" idea is great. The increasing popularity of shortbed trucks has been kind of annoying to me. Allowing the owner to fold down the back seats and have a larger than standard load floor is a great feature. In addition to the back window, I'd love to see the roof over the rear seats be removable as well. Then you could seat six when you want, or have a standard size bed when you want. The proportions of the truck would still be ugly, but it'd be incredibly practical.

@@CyberCrusader27 He stated specifically that it won't be available in the Silverado, but apparently will be in the GMC version. I suspect that it won't be long until somebody figures out how to swap the firmware from a GMC to a Chevy and unless there's some associated hardware that's needed, problem solved.

Chevy has sure come a long way from their "KZreadrs aren't worthy of special time with our vehicles" era. Great video Doug! Thanks

Happy New Year (2023) to all. Front styling seems a bit polarizing. Strange that a RST version would have a higher payload and towing than a W/T (base model) version. Like others the 100K seems way over the top as Chevrolet was originally a entry-level vehicle manufacturer. Also 100K with things added or missing from a "halo" Hummer makes one to wonder on pricing. Most importantly, I noticed that no bloggers entered a "Doug, the guy who could..." Best wishes to all.

How does this not have a "paid advertisement" in it.....

The Avalanche was a unique truck. It was based on the Suburban, Escalade. The best part was you can camp inside and if a bear or something come at you, you can close the rear gate door and crawl inside the interior to the driver seat and take off. No need to exit the vehicle. You can sleep comfortably and still have space for your camping gear. And with the door down you have a lengthy amount of space to haul things.

Been camping with my 1st Gen Avalanche a couple times now. It is the most versatile vehicle on the road IMO! I was even curious enough to look into why Chevy ended production, and it boiled down to sales of the Avalanche were taking away from Silverado sales.. which they were prioritizing in effort to be #1 pick-up truck. Perhaps that is why they left the Avalanche name in favor of the Silverado for this new EV.

I like the WT solution to the missing grille - flat black plastic. If there is a useful place for plastic cladding, it's the front.

Love the mid gate that can be dropped. With old station wagons you could leave the tail gate down but as you drove the exhaust would be drawn into the vehicle. Not an issue with an EV.

Even though I’m ford guy, if I were to buy an electric truck. This would be it. The Silverado ev looks better than the lightning. Hopefully it will be more capable and doesn’t suffer from the same problems as the lightning.

Glad to see that Chevy is sticking with the traditional styling with side mirrors, and not going to cameras. I have seen the style of the new Tesla Cybertruck and it looks so ridiculous.

I'm crazy happy these are becoming more available but I really have trouble supporting a car company that took our 'bailout money' and built a factory in China immediately following. Especially when people are not targeted instead of corporations. Not to mention the pricing.

The only reason they are starting with trucks is so they can keep the price super high. They will fail at all regular truck duties. EV's aren't even close to ready yet, the recent cold snap made that very clear. The market wants reliable V8's
