That issue exists for all luxury trims across all trucks; luckily, the lower trims come with “better” wheels.

It looks like there is plenty of room to go smaller and it looks like the standard 8-lug pattern. There are plenty of options for OEM or aftermarket wheels at about 18" or so with plenty of selection for LT, load range E tires. But I agree that GM should be offering smaller wheels with taller tires (same overall diameter/circumference) as an option. Even 20" can be too much. 24"? Crazy for a truck that's going to see rough terrain.

​@@Cloud30000 Yes, I know. But GM doesn't really offer much of an alternative. Either stick with the 24" or get something smaller on your own. There are aftermarket choices, New/Replacement from GM, or someone else's OEM take-offs. You can mitigate some of that out-of-pocket expense by selling your take-offs to someone else that wants them.

[@tonylourenco4393]

I think the best/biggest upgrade owners of this truck (or any vehicle) can do is to replace those wheels with some sort of 18" rim that can clear the brakes and get a bigger tire for weight savings and road comfort.. also improvement for off-road scenarios. Many new vehicles are coming out with 20-22" standard rims which are ridiculous these days, makes for heavy wheels, expensive to replace, reduces your fuel economy or range, makes for a harder ride and then useless off-road

[@digga3000]

I love how this new truck looks and I am wondering about how it tows. What I want to know is let's say you are traveling more than 500 miles, how are you going to charge with cargo that you are towing? Most charging stations are not open up enough to charge with a boat/trailer/ or whatever you are towing attached to it. Would you need to drop your cargo and then go to the charging station? I only ask because many of the charging stations that I have seen on the road are aligned against a curb. What do you or others think about this?

[@AlRoderick]

They have tested the work truck version towing. It's not a perfect experience to try to fast charge on the road. Almost any stop they've ever made they've needed to uncouple a trailer in order to be able to charge. With the lightning they could sometimes pull in head first to a charger because the charging ports at the front but your trailer is going to hang out into the traffic lane and block other people from getting to the chargers easily. With the Silverados port being at the back you basically need to decouple and back in.

[@kelviskelvis7140]

I believe the work truck (or if the LT is a real model), makes more sense to fit my use case needs. The extra MSRP $16k for the mid-gate that might be used sometimes does not add up for me. I hope Chevy keeps a MSRP below the $80k federal threshold (as they do now in fleet sales) in the consumer market sales when they open up. I tow a center console boat and I tailgate a lot in the fall with many powered accessories (about 800 to 900 Lbs worth) that would fit nicely in the bed of this truck. The duramax diesel I now have is just too noisy to slip in and out and the fuel consumption with DEF is too much to justify any longer. Thank you Andre - your reviews are very high quality and informative.

[@Gnosticware]

Andre said in an earlier video that he was told the LT is coming soon. But your math on the 16k isn't right, the RST is in a different league than the 4WT also including air suspension, rear gate, Supercruise, rear steer and interior finish, along with the midgate you mention.

[@G-Rated]

@@GnosticwareYea I’ve realized this pattern, people are in a rush to complain about whatever they can come up with as it pertains to this truck but they aren’t considering how much of this exclusive content they won’t even get for $100k from the competition. Ive seen reviewers nitpick about ride quality *in a pickup truck* and not feeling “nimble” enough in a 9,000 lb full-size pickup truck as if it’s a Camaro. Folks are struggling to find faults with this truck considering all it offers in real world scenarios.

Great review as always. The Trailboss version of this EV is going to be the on to get imo. 24s are nuts apart from show trucks. Even for the RST I would downsize to a 20" if it would clear the brakes. I delayed my Cybertruck order to see how this EV was reviewed and also to see what the Rivian R1T refresh was like. All that said EV trucks are coming in waves and pushing the bar up for specs, range, and features. If they can get beyond the glam 100+K models they could see mass adoption. They also need to ramp up production so we can actually get one at MSRP and not have to wait 16 mos. Apart from Telsa all these trucks are money losers which results in the mfr trickling out trucks to minimize their losses. For me I have a lifted 23' Tundra 1794 hybrid and its a great truck but huge. Since I off road I have been debating what to do netx. Keep building it up until it gets 11 mpg or going electric. :) I do hope the Trailboss or imagine EV ZR2 has the ability to raise the ride height lie the Rivian or Hummer EV. The weight does worry me though no matter what the suspension can do. Lots to consider.

Was going to jump on an order for this last year until I saw the payload of only 1400lbs..... Definitely an awesome EV but it wouldnt of suited my needs for a work truck.

Again, no one doubts EVs can tow well, it’s just annoying to tow anything when your range is effectively 100 miles and it takes 30+ min to recharge while likely having to disconnect and reconnect your trailer to do so.

[@Gnosticware]

Didn't you watch the video? TFL measured over 500 miles on the 4WT (RST is lower with those 24"), with trailer ranger loss that's well over 3 hours of driving. Charging 20%-80% is measured at around 40ish minutes, after three hours don't you want a restroom, stretch and snack break anyhow? ICE drivers take about that much anyhow after they gas up, repark, and take care of amenities. This is a fully practical truck, however your point about trailer friendly charge stalls is well taken. They're coming in now with the Ultium NEVI network however.

[@carguyeyedoc]

@@Gnosticware correct, but this is the first of any EV to be able to pull off this feat. Everything before it from Rivian to Ford to Tesla etc. gets 100 miles of range while towing. All well and good for this Chevy apart from the fact a base WT trim costs $75k and goes up to $115k for a fully loaded one. The lightning and Rivian top out at $100k. Fine if you can afford it, but you’re definitely paying $15-20k more for that extra range.

[@mitchstein288]

Overall, I really like the look of this pickup. The dimensions look proportional, and it just looks well integrated and clean. The Supercruise intrigues me. I wish they offered it in more trims across the whole lineup. Is it something that you'd opt for if you were purchasing GM again? Is it worth having? There are rumors of a Trailboss trim. That I think would be really cool. For one, it'd get rid of the huge 24" wheels hopefully, and get a little more rubber between you and those potholes. I think it's a well executed truck. Yes, Ford beat GM to the punch with an EV pickup, but I think overall GM had better execution here. (Side note, they give you an electric pickup and an electric boat, with surge brakes????

It actually tows more than this Silverado, has more HP and is faster but none of that is important to me. Unlike any of the others you can easily navigate city streets & parking, park it in a normal size garage and still use it for things like camping or throw a couple of bikes in the bed and hit a trail. I’ll also add that the midgate is more of a party trick & I don’t really see people using it that often. There are just way too many steps & things that can go wrong.

Not sure how he can’t remember the Rivian and F150 Lightning are both well under 4 second 0-60…

[@WheresHerb]

Who cares. I can't remember the last time I needed to get to 60 mph in 4 seconds. 😅

Using acceleration numbers to sell trucks is such a marketing ploy. It’s like using horse power ratings to sell lightbulbs.

Also noted .. that glare on those dumb LCD screens is standard option

WELCOME TO DETROIT!!!!!!

This truck looks better than any other EV, but that’s subjective. $4000+ 24” wheel set up looks too much. 18 or 19 would look ok with spoke wheels. Wonder how long Rivia stays a float?

[@newgravityfilms]

The design is well thought out, and it looks amazing, but $100,000 keeps it unattainable for most working folks. When the price drops it will be a real winner.

[@chownzi2461]

This is probably the best electric truck 440 miles is crazy

[@beans4gas]

4:50 no spare because an industrial jack is needed to lift this beast.

[@eethiq]

18:03 thought it was a hair on my screen 😂😂🥹🥹

[@safetylast911]

i had mine preordered because they told me the truck was starting at 39,000 but almost 3 years after I put down my deposit they said it's over 100k. wtf is that. I say no

[@toddbloxham6041]

Quickest to a recall

[@briannelson2818]

I hate the midgate. I don’t want my interior open to the dust and dirt from hauling and from carrying stuff inside. Plus as the vehicle ages the seals around the midgate area could leak. So the midgate will remove the Silverado from any chance of being purchased by me.

Driveway breaker. For sure. My work van is breaking my cheap spec house drive at 7.2K pounds. Dang need get weights down on EV. For sure. Swappable battery needed as i bet better tech comes fast

[@ZenEndurance]

9,000 lbs and $100,000 makes me love my 400hp V8 that can tow 10,500 lbs for half the price more and more every day.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

They gotta make the v8s better not worse.

[@steveallwine1443]

“This is the only system on the road that allows for hands-free towing.” I’ve heard this claim on a couple other video on the EV Silverado. It’s incorrect. Technically the Nissan Pro-Pilot 2 systems also allows for hands-free driving while towing. It’s not a truck, but I do it on my Ariya with a hitch.

[@jrhackman7414]

I prefer this over the truck that has a dash that looks like it came from Fred Flintstone’s car. The body panels are more durable,would be the only advantage of the cyber truck.

[@cmair77]

Honestly make it and ice vehicle and call it the avalanche reboot

[@melvingibson4525]

Exxonmobil has these for testing at one of their plants

[@hobbes1069]

That thing weighs more than my F250 gas burner did!

[@cndam]

I still don't understand why a pickup truck needs to be a race car.

[@newgravityfilms]

Totally agree!
