Is the 2025 GMC Sierra EV FINALLY the First Electric Truck That Tows As Well As Gas or Diesel?

[@captaintahoe1]

My boss purchased one of these. I wanted to dislike it, after experiencing it, wow, really cool truck. I told him how much I really liked it and thought what a great decision he made. He let me know if I continue to work hard , put in the extra hours, he should be able to get another one in the future

[@sesmeltz1965]

4-wheel steer is ridiculously perfect when towing. Had an idiot cut me off when I was towing. Trailer got one good swing, enough to worry me, and 4-wheel steering kicked in and locked it down instantly. Couldn’t help but laugh. I’ve been in that situation before and it was awful. This was trivial. Sierra EV 2024. Best truck I’ve ever owned!

Computer systems for stability control in general have made leaps and bounds. I've taken my 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid AWD on glare ice on a two lane road and just floored it all the way to 60, no muss, no fuss, sets the power right at the limit of traction, doesn't need inputs to keep straight.

[@teslasnek]

If driving mostly on flat highway, it's the shape of the trailer (how aerodynamic it is) that makes most of the difference in range 😎

[@vincentrobinette1507]

You're exactly right. With efficient regenerative braking, weight is less of a factor, than aerodynamic drag. You can get acceleration and elevation back, you cannot get air resistance back!

[@Jay-me7gw]

@@vincentrobinette1507 And air resistance might not even allow you to regen brake at all. most hills I hit with my travel trailer on the freeway, I rarely fully lift off the throttle. I usually need a little bit to keep my speed downhill unless its a true 6-7% grade.

[@newscoulomb3705]

25:40 In regards to charging, we've seen these peak at over 380 kW on 350 kW chargers, but it does appear that the bottleneck is the 500 A current limit of CCS1. When GM introduces a native J3400 socket, if it is rated for 600+ A, it's possible that we could see peak charging speeds in excess of 450 kW. That being said, a majority of the DC fast chargers for both of the two largest U.S. public charging providers (Electrify America and EVgo) are already 350 kW, so adding 100 miles of real-world driving range in 10 minutes of charging is a reasonable expectation if you start your charge with less than 60% battery. A 30-minute charge starting at 10% battery should get you back to more than 70% battery, which should be >275 miles of added driving range, depending on conditions. As a rule of thumb, you'd want to cut that range in half when towing heavy, so a 30-minute stop should add 130 to 140 miles of real-world towing range. Not great by ICE truck standards, but definitely the leader of the pack when it comes to EV trucks, most of which can't even do 130 miles on a full battery when towing heavy.

[@posatronic9262]

Mine peaked about that maybe 385 but it always for a short time. Drove mine home from MN to NE and 20 min was all I needed. But charged a little longer because I had 3-4 people looking at it and had questions. Lol

The worst thing about the truck is the app. You can't see at what rate it's charging and the state of charge updates very rarely. At the moment it's showing me the state of charge from 3 days ago

[@markmonroe7330]

Their web site is showing that for 2025, if you get the "upgraded" battery, you will have 204kWh of capacity. Not sure if that is "usable" or maximum for the battery. They say that unloaded and no trailer under optimal conditions you will have roughly 440 miles of range - roughly 6-7 hours of driving on the highway. If you a large 50a 240v circuit to charge at home (40a usable at 80% load or just under 10kWh), it would take 21-22 hours to fully charge the truck from zero. If you only drove 200 miles on the highway - roughly 3 hours, it would still take 11-12 hours to refuel that energy expenditure . For every hour of highway driving, you will need to charge for 3-4 hours on that 50a 240v circuit. Let that soak in. If you are pulling a trailer, the driving hours will be about half that for the same hours of charging. Surely to heaven anyone that drives their truck 300-500mi a week like me, understands the amount of downtime needed for home charging.

[@dvader3263]

Preconditioning. That is what many people fail to do in severe cold. That Sierra EV has a battery that weighs a ton, or so. That's a large mass that will stay warm for a long time, if heated up before setting out on a trip from home in cold weather. Preconditioning is something that is done automatically with the vehicles of anoTher popular manufacTurer of EVs. Far in advance of reaching a charger, they use the navigation system to choose charger sites and automatically begin using the heat-pump system to warm up all of that battery mass. Just say "route to Supercharger" and the vehicle starts the preconditioning process when a Supercharger location is chosen. This makes for faster charging in subzero temps and also helps to maintain range. EV Batteries like to be warm and cozy to take a fast charge and also give their best performance. Just pulling up to a charger in subzero temps with a cold battery, yes, that's a problem.

If you need that outlet strip adapter plugged into the charging port to use onboard power, does that mean you can’t use it for things in the back or the trailer (pre-cool the fridge) while driving? Obviously you can’t use it while charging, which is a big miss by making people switch between truck powered and extension cord powered when charging. I have a fridge (high surge power at ambient temp, low power use once cooled to running temp) I plug in and take camping in the back of my Powerboost, and this design just doesn’t work.

How heavy are your trailers, and how much does the range drop when towing?

[@VAF84]

@@vijayvis I have my one 20’ enclosed cargo trailer with a slight v nose. The shape of the trailer impacts the range more than the weight. I haven’t packed it full, but with about 6k gross weight without babying the pedal and speeds up to 70 mph, I got .86 kWh/mi. About 45% reduction in efficiency. This was with moderate weather, not really cold weather. So, 205kW (battery capacity) * .86 kWh/mi ≈ 176mi of range.

[@vijayvis]

@@VAF84 thanks for the info. 176 miles is not a lot. My main purpose is to pull my travel trailer for camping. We don't do super long distances, maybe 6 hour drive would be the maximum, around 300 miles one way.

So, kinda did not answer the tagline title. Kinda can drive it. Kinda can sit in it. Kinda towed with it. The deal has been on going though. Can it tow? Yes. How far is not even as big of a deal as much as how long it takes when you stop at charger networks. And frankly, that is going to be annoying for most people to have to navigate from charger to charger and park frequently for excessive amounts of time to get anywhere. Basically, this truck is not going to solve the on going issues that EV systems have already proven. Some say it is the charging networks that are responsible for how fast you charge back up, but Tommy has discussed and debunked this fact, as in, the vehicle on board system has to be able to take it as fast as any charger can give it. Range can be comparable to fuel vehicles, but the charging times is the continued factor. And stations need to be as convenient as fuel pumps. For towing, you need a drive through island to tow into. And then you have to factor in, IF EV's became the dominate vehicle on the roads, those few and far between charging networks that may or may not even work, are not going to handle the masses in volume. And what about truckers? Who is going to supply them with proper drive through charging stations? Truckers damn well will not want to un-hitch every time they need to charge up. Time is money.

If it tells you to take control for whatever reason, sometimes it doesn't want to acknowledge that you _have_ taken control. You have to wiggle the steering wheel or something, which is obviously suboptimal. It has also done the aggressively slowing down to avoid hitting a phantom object more times than any other vehicle I've driven. Great tech, details can definitely be improved.

The economics of these trucks don't add up. $100k to drive a short distance? Gas trucks are outrageous as well. Just buy a small hybrid and call it good. My budget will never allow for these expensive vehicles. Is GM trying to go bankrupt?

[@stevennathaniel4191]

Kind of strange that you can't get the Denali Ev with proper towing mirrors

[@keithhumco]

You know, I have an old truck 94 C 1500. I've been wanting to get a newer truck for a couple years. Now that truck would work real good for me, there's only one problem, I am Retired, and I can't afford it. I can't afford a newer gas truck than what I got right now, so No way is an old man like me. Gong to end up with a truck like that i guess I can dream.

Are analog gauges done and over with? Personally, I prefer analog because I'm sure in 10-20 years from now it will still work. Not so sure about this truck lasting that long though lol

[@matthewprather7386]

I’ve had gauges fail (needles bounce, stop responding) but never had a screen fail. Not saying a screen can’t fail but they do pretty well, at least somewhat because they don’t have any moving parts.

[@ABrider-f1c]

pretty sure a screen is more reliable.

[@garyclack3807]

True…don’t need 24….20 would be good

[@Cloud30000]

I would personally prefer 18”, more versatile, but I think 24” is slightly more efficient for highway use (where the EV’s need all the help they can get to improve high speed driving range)

[@ZPdrumer]

I thought the same thing as they showed it driving off with the trailer. Those wheels look ridiculously large to be towing with. Obviously the capacities are fine and it all works out on paper, but it looks very silly. I hear a lot of reviewers mention the ride is a bit chattery due to the thin tires and super high PSI. I feel like a taller sidewall (that flexes) would mitigate a lot of those complaints

[@rm10002]

@@ZPdrumer I have 20” coming for mine this week to swap out the 24s, will let you know what I think. Ride quality was better than expected on the 24s…I’m mainly looking for more peace of mind off road and more tire choices.

[@alexmaclean1]

I do frequent but short duration towing of 7700lb. About 30 to 80 towing km per day. I need to look at the tax implications because this might be perfect for a new work truck. It's awfully expensive though, gotta make sure Trudeau will give the appropriate reach around to make it feasible lol

[@derick-smith]

I could see a lot of these things with a bass boat behind it. I also assume that the 4 wheel steering would be great in a tight boat launch. Not great for towing long distances but for certain applications this thing is awesome. Let me just sell a kidney for a down payment...

13:50 man, that e-quad is a complete L. Looks to have a (way oversized) 3D printed seat (all fine and good) but with all those pores/holes it is going to constantly be full of dirt and mud, and impossible to clean. The machine is way too high (C of G, not ground clearance) and probably weighs 6x as much as a quad should. The fake side scoops are right in the way of ergonomics. It's like someone who has never ridden a quad designed it.

[@tfay412]

Most people are going to tow travel trailers with these things. Can you guys test with travel trailers, to get an idea of range with the huge trailer on the back?

[@ALMX5DP]

I’d think that enclosed trailer approximates it pretty well.

[@NOXStellans]

They were limited in weight here because 5500 lbs is the max the self-driving works with.

It would be nice to see the range with a 10,000 pound travel trailer.
