Chevy Had Two Years to Best Ford -- Did They Do It? | MotorTrend

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Do you think Chevy matches up?!

[@2lopezd]

The Chevy is superior in my opinion. It’s the only electric vehicle I’d buy. It’s just the price

[@MosquitoMade]

It would be nice when you're comparing two different things instead of saying "This one" say the name of the vehicle you're referencing. It makes it a lot easier to follow, especially for those of us who don't always stay glued to the video but keep listening

[@tonyf2479]

Came here to say this comment. “this one, that one” isn’t very useful.

[@Nate-v2y]

I had the same problem.

[@LegoXC]

Yep, same comment. "The Chevy" or "The Ford" is just as easy to say but actually describes what you're talking about.

[@ErinJWade]

Same thing - identify the vehicle you are speaking about. Very frustrating.

[@junehanzawa5165]

The Chevy is the winner hands down at this point. Ford now needs to respond with their own 800v Lightning.

[@16nsva16]

They mention the Chevy is all over the place while pulling a trailer and said they like the self driving while pulling a trailer. That negates that entire option for me

[@sandpine]

I like this one better than that one.

[@ms-jl6dl]

No dude,that one from last month is the best,much better than this one at that time.

[@daviousking3828]

Silverado just looks better to me

[@twosawyers]

F150 is the best EV truck to date!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Solid choice!

[@lucwoolsey4147]

Interior comparison is much more fair Sierra Denali to lightning platinum.

[@bigtimearcher1]

Denali is $13,000 more expensive than the platinum….. not really apples to apples

[@lucwoolsey4147]

​@@bigtimearcher1fair, and maybe also fair to say the GM is too expensive in comparison but instill think top trim vs top trim is the way to compare if you're asking who did it best. Comparing a mid range from to a top trim is even less apples to apples. Unless the question is solely who gave it the best bang for the buck.

[@langan9000]

Wow I thought motor trend was dead

[@cornbread70s4]

They are . This video is proof

[@BillLaBrie]

They are, it that doesn’t keep them from posting.

[@langan9000]

@cornbread70s4 Agreed it died long ago. It started when they shifted from youtube and became corporate shills.

[@gadgetdealz]

Forgot to mention towing is less than 90 miles with small trailer and light load. Chevy probably 200 miles or more. So can do truck things better than the Ford.

[@imtheonevanhalen1557]

Not true.....pulled a light trailer 130 miles and no difference.....2023 Lightning Pro SR

[@Nate-v2y]

They specifically stated that the Ford towed very well, and was stable feeling, while the Chevy did NOT.

[@USUG0]

making uo numbers dude. with a small trailer and light load the f150 goes 150 miles. And if it is low hiding behind the bee, it might go 200-250 regardless the weight. Ir's with a large bulky trailer, like the one in the video, that it goes about 100 miles

[@T.I.R24]

​@USUG0 know 3 people with lightnings..all have said 90ish miles pulling a 10 foot enclosed utility trailer running around 4500 pound. 2 of them work for the same company, and got them as company trucks.

[@NickBirdManeS]

At the end of the day, I see what you did there and im here to tell you Ford is better.

[@mhoover5]

In the end this one bested that one

[@ms-jl6dl]

I like that one better. It's best in this and that.

[@derekbreschetti8407]

Everyone gets excited about the range in Silverado EV but if you look it up it’s actually less efficient than the F-150

[@stephenlea5765]

Chevy Avalanche 2.0. It’s electric!

[@Nebula1701]

It does have Trailer Blind Spot monitoring... You have to properly set it up.

[@josebrito5202]

Used prices of the F150 lightning make them more attractive. There is one Platinum, 10k miles at 55k near me.

[@daleliske9757]

Trucks should never be considered a CAR. Both kept saying, this car, or that car. If they tested a sedan, would they refer to as a Truck. No.

[@Dobbs6651]

How about Ute

[@PADROTE18]

Price tag is not even close

[@olallaeddy]

The thing I like about my Ford truck is I can drive from Tacoma Washington to Coer D Alene Idaho without needing diesel.

[@larry77117]

I do that with my beautifully rebuilt 1984 Chevy 4x4 Blazer too. Top off with my dogs at 65mph. total cost ($3,500 Blazer + $15,000 rebuilding better than new). People in other cars constantly admiring and waving! 😊

[@sandpine]

@@olallaeddy the Silverado EV can do the same. The ford lightning would have to stop for 10 minutes, which is not bad.

[@towelies4884]

There’s a reason the avalanche doesn’t exist anymore.

[@seanchernobyl2911]

The midgate is a game changer for people that use the trucks for recreation/ outdoor activities and Home DIY'ers.....not haulers...

[@BuckRogers2000]

I rented a 2024 Silverado ICE recently. It dropped revs consistently, for no reason. Your video informs me Chevy's engineers are semi-useful. At least their EV steering wheel doesn't block the speedometer.

[@larry77117]

Oh my gosh, $90,000 to $96,000 to buy one of these trucks! That's ridiculous!!! They have doubled in price and repair costs in the last 10 years. thumbs down on both trucks!

[@briankeithwood]

I worry about the cost to insure the GM truck. Like, if someone bashes the door or the bed, how much would they cost to repair? Also, would the GM leak at the midgate? If water gets in when you close it, and it freezes... then what? And since most of the lightnings qualify for 7500 back, that makes them trim for trim what, 17k cheaper?

[@Karm007]

These two paid by Ford still did not convince anyone Ford is better . Fools 😂😂😂😂

[@apache4541]

I choice Scout Terra with extended range built-in, gas-powered generator. cost about 60,000 dollars.

[@joevigil5274]

This is not available for at least 2 years. Price is also unknown. Not a fair comparison.

[@williamadams4843]

​@@joevigil5274 50k for the full electric, so 60k sounds right for the gas range extension

[@joevigil5274]

Your guess is as good as mine on the price. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up with a Scout 80 & 800B and would love to see a Terra come to market. Not sure it would compete in the full size pick-up market but may fit a good market segment. Looking forward to seeing this come to fruition.

[@toddfetterly5457]

Didn't talk about Ford's access to the Tesla charging network which is a huge benefit for long trips.

[@thismanagain]

400 miles is pretty good!

[@scubatrucker6806]

This sounds like a Ford loving person review .

[@AgentLokVokun]

I wish the trend of the mono brow light bear on EVs would just quit already.

[@Matteo-xm6xo]

[@tunnelvision2day]

You spent 10 minutes straight trash talking the Chevy... Then mention 2 pros at the end.. But because it's the latest release and gm sent it to you on loan, we gotta keep them happy!! So let's give gm the W.. Journalistic integrity!!!

[@QuietStormX]

That is 440 miles. And it charges at 350KW ... That is over 77,000+ miles super cruise +

[@ricardolopez-jb7bu]

Nice chevy Avalanche. It would be nice to have it with a gasoline engine.

[@franklinstidham9037]

I like how people who are biest to one brand but try to act like they aren't it comical

[@LJLion]

Lightning is the better value, way more affordable and it's fast. Not a fan of the curvy look of the Silverado Ev and it's Prohibitively expensive and weighs a ton.

[@Bfranklyn731]

[@drjekelmrhyde]

Blue cruise vs super cruise

[@ErinJWade]

Please stop referring to these massive machines as “cars”.

[@luckieclover100]

Range is fine until you tow, and it drains the battery faster as the more you make the electric motors works the more it requires more battery. It's not a car people.

[@joevigil5274]

Same with ICE, the tank empties faster too. 1/2 the range on ICE vehicles too, however batteries don’t hold as much energy yet so range loss is a problem. New battery technology coming soon will even the playing field for long range towing.

[@cdutch513]

Y’all are haters on FSD lol. You’ll eat your words soon

[@ZanderOKC]

The moment they talked poorly about FSD, it invalidated their entire review of either truck. #sheep

[@natemink572]

do they blow up every 60K like the gas ones do ?

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

@@mattmopar440 Nope. At least mine hasn't yet. But then again, neither did my diesel and it had over 200,000 miles on it when I replaced it with electric. (And the new owner has put 100,000 more miles on it already.)

[@sasca854]

[@douglab222]

They are EVs, a hard pass for me. I will still with my v8.

[@mikek5298]

Both are lot lizards with zero sales.

[@donfronterhouse4759]

The Lightning,by other tests that I've seen, isn't tow capable because the range is cut in half. I suppose it feels better for that 100 miles though? If the Chevy is air ride,how big a thing would an upgraded suspension for towing be,do you suppose?

[@joevigil5274]

All trucks loose 1/2 their range when towing heavy loads including ICE. The issue is the amount of energy is in your “tank”. When this gets addressed for EVs with new battery technology, which is coming, EV trucks will meet the towing need.

[@donfronterhouse4759]

@joevigil5274 yes, EVs do and at present,the Silverado has twice the range. ICE engines do not all lose half their range, not at all. I've trucks that got the practically same fuel economy towing 10k lbs. as empty. Gasoline are more prone to poor economy under load than diesels often are.

[@joevigil5274]

⁠​⁠@@donfronterhouse4759mine did. My ICE Ford F150 5.4 L V/8 had a range of 400 miles and pulling a 5th wheel 31ft bulky trailer that weighted 8500 lbs loaded took the range down to 200mi. Even less when in a head wind. All the same factors are at play for EVs and ICE. Nothing new. All that is different is how much energy can you carry with you. EVs are at the disadvantage for that based upon the battery. A lightning has the equivalent of 6 gal of gas in its battery. See how far an ICE truck goes on 6 gal of gas pulling a heavy bulky trailer.

[@donfronterhouse4759]

@joevigil5274 yes,I know all this. Its common knowledge. I had 1994 F350 turbo power stroke that got 20mpg empty and 15 mpg with a 40ft bumper pull travel trailer. However,Evs are much worse pulling a trailer. Check out some independent real world tests. Hybrid diesel/electric semi trucks would be practical,but fully electric won't happen anytime soon. Maybe never.

[@joevigil5274]

@@donfronterhouse4759 The proof is in the pudding. The new Silverado already meets typical ICE range for a comparable vehicle because it has a large enough battery.

[@internalcombustion641]

The Chevy is slower.

[@proudfoamer2]

You guys are idiots. Pick the one with the longest battery range. End of story.

[@agreyf]

Ev's are not all they are cracked up to be.

[@tinystar3010]

EV trucks are undisputable proof that EVs cannot replace combustion engines effectively. Because range is dramatically cut during hauling and towing heavy loads. Both scenarios that trucks are legitimately for. Trucks are a waste of space and money if only driven to get groceries and run errands. If a truck can't effectively be used as a truck because it's EV, then EV is the issue.

[@ragman069]

That's SHOCKING !!🔌

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

@@tinystar3010My Rivian is efficient enough to be reasonable to use as a daily driver, while also being capable enough to haul lumber, get loads of compost/gravel, and tow my 8000 pound travel trailer. Yeah, the road trips take a little longer than they did with my old diesel F-250, but they cost about 1/4 as much in “fuel” so it makes up for it. In a recent 2500 mile one-way towing trip, we “caravaned ” with a diesel F-250 - they only beat us to the destination by about 6 hours. They took 4 days, arriving at noon on the fourth day, we arrived at six PM on ten fourth day. And if we’d had the Silverado EV, it probably would have been even.

[@joevigil5274]

Do you have one? Doubt you know.

[@Coolone3000]

@@tinystar3010 Hate to break it to you, but an overwhelming majority of people who buy trucks do very limited truck things. They buy them for the size and convenience of being able to do truck things should they need to. Even when looking at real truck things, charging more often is not extremely detrimental. It's completely overblown and typically comes from those that don't use EV's much. Its more of an infrastructure problem, which will take time to fix.
