2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST vs. 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali

[@BLAISEDAHL96]

Both are pretty sweet, I just really like the exterior design & styling of the Denali.

[@daklakchannel424]

I like GMC EV truck looking good . I love the way they design. With me it’s perfect truck ever make

[@charles33769]

I guess it’s just me, but I think the GMC looks miles better than the Chevy. It might take me some time to get used to the really thin headlights. The tech and range is great though!

[@distractionnetwork]

I like everything GMC except for the tablet screen. I prefer the Chevy in that. It's enough to make me sit back and ask if I really want this Silverado coming my way next year.

[@LionessDiva]

​@@distractionnetworkMe too, Don't like tablet design prefer Chevy infotainment design. Don't need to look down.

[@rcright8357]

Yep

[@rkkaranja1902]

I agree.

[@Isaac862]

Have seen them both in person the GMC looks miles better it’s huge has crazy presence one of the only EVs I have seen that I have actually wanted

[@Scott-sm9nm]

Both of these are really customer oriented and flexible. Dig the looks of the GMC a little better.

[@gsin311]

consumer oriented for 100k, probably over 120k in canada, lol

[@Scott-sm9nm]

@@gsin311 look at the price of the Tesla Cybertruck that just went into Canada. $138K and $166K! "Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD): This model starts at CA$137,990. Tri-Motor All-Wheel Drive (Cyberbeast): This top-of-the-line model starts at CA$165,990."

[@OntarioGuy430]

The GMC lights still make it look like a truck from the front - The Chevy lights make it look more like Robo Cop or Geordi la forge. I would pick the GMC - but that could be just because that Grey is super nice.

[@Tall_Pauly]

The fact that these trucks are selling at the same price point makes me think the GMC is the obvious choice. Same motor/battery/range and capability as the Silverado but also comes with a more premium interior, sound and a giant IPad screen for the wife!

[@realchurch2693]

You can get the silverado for 86k, the gmc is 96k+. Big difference

[@redbaron6805]

@@realchurch2693 Haven't seen that anywhere. In fact, the GMC is cheaper in my area at $90k vs $96k for the Silverado RST. Not sure if that is due to the 2025 model coming out, but it is a bit weird the GMC is now less than the Silverado, when normally it is the other way around...

[@Ryan.Hannah]

I like the front end of the Chevy better but the more normal rear/bed of the gmc.

[@ronwood3214]

Good information does it have self driving?

[@scubatrucker6806]

I love the Chevrolet Silverado RST design better than the GMC.❤

[@urbanrver3527]

Very nice, like this one guy said on you tube, it’s expensive to save gas

[@Scott-sm9nm]

It used to be expensive to buy a flat screen TV to save on weight and versatilities to. Volume brings manufacturing cost down.

[@gsin311]

@@Scott-sm9nm lol it wont, it would have happened by now if it was going to

[@Scott-sm9nm]

@@gsin311 why would it have happened by now when BEV trucks are VERY very new. How many *years* did it take to bring down the price of flat screen TVs? You should look that up because it took several.

[@gsin311]

@Scott-sm9nm dude Evs have been in production for decades now, slapping an ev engine on a truck is the same as any other ev. These manufacturers like keeping their prices inflated, its a game.

[@Scott-sm9nm]

@@gsin311 Ok, now I understand where you are coming from and how your knowledge level is lacking. I follow this space closely. Clearly you do not.

[@bestishiphop]

Hey! Does anybody know the tongue weight capacity? Towing capacity I can find everywhere, but how much can the the hitch take from the top? Thanks!

[@victorpinedo215]

Love the GNC. Just not crazy about the 24/7 365 glass roof. Anyone driving during the summer knows how the heat will come it to your head and neck, and sun ☀️ coming in during the day. Same as night. Sometimes I just want to be in a dark cabin. I don’t want to drive with the city lights coming in

[@AldermanCars]

Mark Alderman here. I believe it has less heating effect than the transparent roof in the Hummer, but that is just based on personal experience. It sure does look nice!

[@timmiser]

Agreed. The lack of a shade makes it a hard no from my wife! I'll have to wait for the lower end models that do not include the moon roof or maybe next year GMC will have a solution in place by then because I'd really prefer the top end model.

[@oscarreynaable]

Is the tonneau a custom build because bed dimensions?

[@bestishiphop]

Hearing you drive a Hummer - how would you compare them with the Hummer?

[@AldermanCars]

The Hummer has a more off-roader feel to hit. You sit higher, bounce a bit more, it's a little bit more nibble than either one of the trucks.

[@Phil-fw2ib]

General Motor EV trucks are beautiful 😻 . GM is killing the competition with these designs. Cyberpunk !! “Oh” I Meant cyber trash truck 🛻 go bed

[@coloradojackgiveback5673]

Hi how does it drive compared to your hummer? I have a 2023 edition 1 hummer currently, just thinking the Denali would have better range and I like the interior….

[@AldermanCars]

The sierra is better on the highway and the range is 100 miles better. For me personally, the extra 100 miles is of little value, as the Hummer range is plenty. It could factor in on long trips, but I recently drove the Hummer 730 miles straight, and most of the time that I stopped to charge, I needed the break. I prefer the length of the Hummer and the four wheel steering is a little bit more aggressive, so overall it feels quite a bit smaller than the Sierra. The 16" difference in length is the difference between easily fitting in my garage and barely fitting in my garage. Cheers! ~Mark A.

Very Beautiful luxury chevrolet truck EV and GMC truck EV and beautiful red truck 👍 🛻 ❤️ 🛻🛻🛻🛻👍😎👍🤟🤟🤟😎

[@aryi2000]

Have you test drives these two ? Any difference in driving dynamics and software?

[@AldermanCars]

Exactly the same, from my perspective. - Mark Alderman

[@MikeSTGL]

Hoping the AT4/ trailboss are coming ? But still too much $$$$.

[@Josh-179]

How do you have a white RST? Chevy is only building black ones the first year.

[@AldermanCars]

In the very beginning they made a few white ones, before switching to only black, and we were lucky enough to get 2 of them.

[@kevinlucas8437]

No power running boards 😢 GMC ❤❤

[@redbaron6805]

Power running boards are a total waste. I have driven my friends F-150 Platinum with the power running boards, and I just turn them off. Unless you are 5 foot tall, they are basically useless and just get in your way and get your pants dirty...

[@darrylalderman7653]

😇😇😇

[@steelgatorcrimsontide7403]

I really like the Chevy Silverado RST but I do have a few questions how good is it in the snow what if I wanted to take off the side steps and put in Rock rails and what would happen if I wanted to put 37 on it also what if I wanted to put a winch and steal bumpers😊 how would I screw up the truck l 😊 I also would like to know could I get rid of the heated seats and heated steering wheel I like the cold

[@redbaron6805]

Heated seats and heating steering wheels stay cold unless you turn them on.

[@craig8638]

I don’t believe the batteries 240 kW usable

[@AldermanCars]

You are correct. I believe it is something around 218kW usable. - Mark

[@apache6084]

just call it trunck

[@nathanmeyer3855]

Let's see you have an electric Avalanche and electric Sierra, both of them more than twice the price and twice as heavy as the last Avalanche that left the line. The engineering is nice but EV is stupid and doesn't make any financial sense!

[@AldermanCars]

I appreciate the comment and the perspective. I personally disagree. I am closing in on 20,000 miles with my Hummer Edition One and it is the coolest vehicle that I have ever driven period. My wife has a loaded 2023 Tahoe High Country, but I MUCH prefer my Hummer. I also spend 1/3 of the money with the Hummer vs the Tahoe for the same miles. No oil changes. I refuel the Hummer while I am sleeping a couple of times per week. I could go on and on. If you haven't yet, drive one of these vehicles with an open mind. Cheers ~ Mark Alderman

[@nathanmeyer3855]

@@AldermanCars while I'm sure the driving experience is generally wonderful, the massive weight gain is detrimental on and off road, especially with the cost of good large off road tires now and for the amount of miles you would have to drive to offset the massive cost increase, charging at home so as to not pay a larger electric cost/ mile vs gas, and the charging inconvenience vs 5 minute fill up, still doesn't make financial sense. It's cool, it's way too fast, and I would like to see a 5 year cost of ownership comparison vs the equivalent ICE vehicle.

[@timmiser]

No the financial sense is very clear. I pay $150 to fuel up my truck every week. It costs me $25 to charge up the Silverado EV for the same miles of range. That's about $6500 a year in fuel savings or $32K over 5 years and that's not even taking into account of the oil changes, filters, and other maintenance and repairs. A comparatively equipped gas Silverado costs about $71K.

[@nathanmeyer3855]

@@timmiser of course it depends on each person's driving habits, how often do you drive on road trips where you can't charge it at home, and what kind of mileage per year you put on it. And if you do drive on long road trips how much of your life you want to spend waiting at the charge station both for a spot to charge and for the time to charge. Also how much is a replacement battery once the service life of the battery has been consumed. Once you reach that point where the service life of the battery has been consumed the replacement cost of the battery will likely be the price of a replacement gas truck. If you had maintained the gas truck well since the beginning versus the electric the remaining financial benefit to the electric truck will likely disappear and reverse the moment the battery needs replacement, as well as the massive depreciation of the electric truck versus the gas truck.

[@timmiser]

@@nathanmeyer3855 On a long road trip, if you have 450 miles range, that is 6 hours of driving at 70 mph. Taking a 45 minute break to fast charge after 6 hours is not really a hardship so that argument is really moot. The replacement battery argument is old and tired also. EV batteries have already shown they easily outlast the vehicle. There are plenty of older Tesla's with 400-500K miles on them with their original battery still going strong and degradation has been proven to be so minimal it is hardly noticed. Do you buy a gas truck thinking what the cost of replacing the engine would be after 400,000 miles? Of course not because making it to 400,000 miles in any vehicle is considered a triumph in itself!

[@meshworkj]

Go ahead, buy an EV, you’ll never buy another one again, complete trash.

[@AldermanCars]

I beg to differ. In the real world the customers that we have sold EV's to overwhelmingly say that they will never drive a non-ev. Out of curiosity, have you ever driven or owned an EV?

[@oscarreynaable]

I'm on my 3rd Tesla dude. I don't know what you are talking about. 😂

[@redbaron6805]

These claims are always from people that have never owned or driven a single one, and have no clue at all. What is the point in commenting about something you have absolutely no clue about...? Just bizarre...
