Electric Truck Battle Starts Now! Rivian vs Cybertruck vs Silverado EV vs F-150 Lightning

[@OutofSpecReviews]

If anyone has a Hummer EV in the area hit us up!

[@CoordinatedCarry]

I live in Denver, I’ve seen two of them driving around. So they are out there.

[@brianpletcher8055]

Maybe you should commit to not prying body panels off or running to full stop. Some may not want that treatment to their $100k + vehicle.

[@JasonKopp-e7s]

Where is the fun in that?

[@TroySavary]

Are you going to pay them for the use of their Hummer at going market rate for rentals?

[@AlexanderGrahamBell2]

yes please get hummer EV and then start test them all don't compare them without Hummer EV

[@juhokoivisto928]

You should compare The headlights

[@ibentTube]

I second this

THIS

[@sesmeltz1965]

Silverado EV: Yep, those are headlights. Fog lights too. Cool. Rivian: Awww, what a cute little face it has! Cybertruk: This thing has headlights? Where? F-150 Lightning: Hahahaha it has a fu-manchu!

[@newscoulomb3705]

Well, clearly a 10% challenge is in order.

[@KyleConner]

Absolutely! That EVgo station doesn’t know what’s coming for it 😅

[@RRH377]

And maybe the F-150 and Rivian could do Supercharger 10% challenges too.

[@newscoulomb3705]

@@RRH377 It's too bad the Cybertruck still can't use EVgo, too. It would be nice to see it get its full 325+ kW peak power.

[@vincentrobinette1507]

I was going to suggest that!

[@Michael37924]

I would like to see a “Boat Launch” test. Ease of use, handling, stopping (since most boat trailers use surge brakes) and even X factors like how good is the design to help you self launch a boat. Use a couple of different boats… a jet ski vs a large bow rider with a multiple axel trailer. I love the Rivian, but one pedal driving is NOT a good thing when backing down a boat ramp in my opinion.

[@Michael37924]

Factors for the test: Visibility when pulling (mirrors and cameras) Ease of backing down the ramp - single jet skis are a challenge in any pickup Ease of controlling a large boat / trailer down the ramp Slippage when recovering a boat… that first move up the ramp when the boat is first floated on Handling with big trailer/boat (same course, obstacles across all test trucks, same trailer/boat combo)

[@NickWindham]

This is a great idea

[@petesig93]

Dunno about in the Rivian but in my Ioniq 6 the one-pedal (iPedal) can be turned off - it does not even stay in operation after you switch off, but will default to Level 3 regen. I can set regen to zero if I wish.

[@Michael37924]

@@petesig93 the closest you can get (in a Rivian) to disabling regen is the Snow drive mode. In general, I like one pedal driving. But, there are just a few exceptions where the “old way” might be safer. Backing a 7000 pound boat trailer down a boat ramp into salt water in a 7000 pound electric truck, tapping the accelerator to make it go feels all wrong. Your foot should be firmly planted on the brake (in this one case). In Rivian’s defense, this could be in a future software update one day… Boat Launch mode… only works in reverse at low speeds, initiated by pressing the brake and activating the mode in reverse, simulates an “idle” speed in reverse so you can ease up off the brake to make it go. No need to shift your foot from brake to accelerator back and forth.

[@adamd4137]

As so many trucks used as family vehicles, would love to see how easy it is for kids to get in/out and same for grandparents. Also, how easy to mount traditional accessories using cross bars on cab / bed.

[@alexzz1234]

And to add how easy it is to add child seats

[@MikeMajeski]

2nd the family vehicle comparison. We have a Lightning as our family car and it is amazing. Stroller and rumble seat fit in the frunk and plenty of cargo room.

[@rmbmpd]

Also, ease of parking in a shopping center.

[@selbyjohnson5986]

Cybertruck is pretty easy on low mode I just drove one today

[@selbyjohnson5986]

I drove the Silverado and I had a hard time getting in and out. I didn’t like the running boards.

[@michaelsmithers4900]

I want to see towing efficiency at different speeds: 40mph, 50mph, 60mph.

[@brianpletcher8055]

And a mid weight trailer, not the max, but a recreational trailer in the mid-3000 weight. I pull a pop-up with my Ioniq 5. I take a 50% hit in range, but that's starting with a relatively efficient car without a trailer.

[@michaelsmithers4900]

Agree, it would be interesting to see the isolated impact of weight. Towing a low profile flatbed trailer once each with 3-4,000 lbs then again with the same trailer with 8-10,000 lbs. both with the same frontal profile

[@MiguelCosta-py7bz]

@@michaelsmithers4900 I have a 2023 F-150 Lighting Lariat, extended range. I had 700 lbs in the truck bed, and a 5 x 10 enclosed "V" shaped trailer (1,200 lbs empty) towed behind it, but I was carrying about 1,500 lbs of lumber and building material inside. I lost 44% of range, which included driving an average of 110 km/h, a/c on, with about 600 lbs (2 people, 2 large dogs) inside the cab. I was driving from Calgary, Alberta Canada to Revelstoke BC, in a very mountainous region. Planned out my trip, and it worked very well. Lots of power to pass, comfortable and the cabin is very quiet, even with the road noise. On another note, I had driven the truck between Calgary AB and Edmonton AB in -39C (-38.2F) and -60C (-76F) with the windchill. While the battery lost 53% efficiency do to the cold, and my range dropped over 60%, it worked fine charging at a mid-way-point.

[@michaelsmithers4900]

@@brianpletcher8055 have you considered driving slower to increase range and decrease charging time?

[@michaelsmithers4900]

Often range is thought to be static but it’s actually extremely variable due to multiple factors. One considerable factor is wind resistance at high speeds. To that end people should understand that if they are concerned about range (being less than distance to destination) they can easily extend their range by slowing down. That goes double for towing a bulky trailer.

[@prerunnerwannabe]

Please test vampire drain between all of the trucks!

[@skorpion1298]

You mean phantom drain?

[@brysonfry9612]

Would like to see thermals of the trucks pushed, so hot ambient temps, max towing for 500+ miles requiring multiple charging stops to see who’s thermal management in repeated charging with heavy loads for 8+ hours of work can hold up.

[@TheHokiedude12]

I would like to see tests for the most common things people do with their trucks: Loading groceries, Hauling dirt/mulch/trash, towing a boat/camper

[@DianeDakin-k1e]

How many sheets of 4X8 foot 1/2 inch plywood can the trucks hold? We always bought 8 foot beds for hauling. Thanks for you and your team and all the hard work. We appreciate y’all. You Matter!

[@vorg_]

I'm from LA. How bad can it park and how close can it tailgate? That's what LA truck buyers need to know.

[@quazaar]

I use my lightning frunk all the time! I load groceries in it when I back into the stalls. This would be a great comparison.

[@chrisvig123]

You mean hauling air? 😂

[@tadahide]

How about a Moose test? Curious how steer by wire works in that scenario

[@Bonjurro]

Maybe a turning radius comparison?

[@NickWindham]

THIS

[@barry7920]

Yes, maneuverability is definitely a concern with these big/long vehicles

[@danchen6783]

Would be really interesting to see a subtest of Chevy and Tesla 4 wheel steering, since they are the only two to have this feature so far. See which is better at that particular feature.

[@xKINGxRCCx]

I have a Rivian R1T. Amazing truck and i love it. But i will admit its turning radius is ass

[@selbyjohnson5986]

Cybertruck I think will win, the steering on it is amazing.

[@DrKellieOwczarczak]

The more I see the Silverado EV, the more I like it. I am really looking forward to getting in one; I really am excited about the 3WT because of it's payload numbers. I will say that the F-150 Lightning is hands down the best Ford that I have ever driven. I am really looking forward to the release of that cross-country race.

[@charliebrockway166]

Add ICE pickup for baseline

[@stewspe]

Could you guys make a spreadsheet comparing pricing, specs and results you collect for each truck so we can have a complete overview

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

I want to see a towing challenge. One set at 70 MPH, one at 55 MPH; with both an “aerodynamic mid-weight” trailer (a Safari Alto Condo for example) and a “heaviest weight all allow, boxy not aerodynamic” trailer. (A flat-front box at 10,000 lbs.) A “towing 10%” test would be a nice addition, too. Maybe 30 minutes charging, or just “charge until the rate drops below 1C”?

[@larryspiller15]

Agreed on slower speed and mid weight trailer. The obsession that many have with max towing at 75mph is ridiculous. They're evs, we know they'll do bad at that. Why not test them with reasonable loads 4-7k lbs at 55-65mph so a customer can see how it performs when you are actually trying to live with it while accepting the occasional towing performance compromise.

[@LYNDONGOLDEN]

I like seeing the daily life situations that do not require calculations: Which dirty body areas are missed after driving though automatic car washes, parking maneuvers in tight parking garages, door swing clearance in tight parking spaces (for ingress/egress), how well does the bed drain after rinsing out loose sand/bark mulch, spare tire removal.

[@JK_Vegas]

Can't wait for the off road tests. I own two Lightnings and we use them for work at remote cell tower sites here in CA. They are very capable for what we do. They see lots of off road use in and around the CA desert out here. The Silverado EV looks great with it's larger battery but I'd like to see more off road tests to see how the weight of the Silverado affects off road capability. Might be more prone to flat tires over the sharp rocks we have out here. Great videos can't wait!

[@andrewashmore8000]

What are some cool things on the lightning. That a average joe might not know.

[@LearningFast]

Nobody does EV testing better than Kyle. Can’t wait to see all of this great content.

[@HoundStuff]

Don't forget about families! Sooooo many people use their trucks as family vehicles in addition to all of the stuff you covered. Especially with 4 doors, try out car seats in there, of all types, rear facing, forward facing, booster seats.... see how kids with cargo will fit.... while towing that heavy boat or camper on the family vacation. Cheers!

[@christopherwalton7736]

Can you please do a test comparing visibility in all of the trucks? Specifically, front visibility of something child sized? The safety of large trucks is starting to become a talking point, so I’d be interested in seeing how much more dangerous the Cybertruck is for pedestrians, since headlines love to say it’s a menace.

[@davidbeppler3032]

You can't even see a compact car in front of a semi.

[@Hirudin]

I was thinking about requesting something similar. To me, it looks like the Cybertruck has the lowest front edge. But the ride height setting is obviously a factor here.

[@concentricvoid]

I have seen a lot of off-road content for the Rivian, but not much for the other trucks. I would be interested in seeing those comparisons.

[@gonzalod9183]

Please tow an Airstream to see how far each one can go with the most aerodynamic rvs. Thks!

[@ericroe]

I’d love to see a towing test pulling the same trailer at the same weight all at the same time. 100%-0%.

[@Mattypeeperz]

My dream list (I know some of these are already planned) -70mph range test -DCFC test -10% challenge -Towing range test -Payload range test -Highway/city combined driving loop efficiency -Acceleration testing (unloaded, loaded, towing) -Mild off-road or 4wd test (low traction wheel/motor control calibration testing) -Level 2 charging test (overnight time frame)

[@jcautodesign]

Three totally different things i want to see you test: 1. Camping and camp-mode uses. All have some sort of power outlets, and/or camp mode, etc. SOC drop overnight, etc. 2. App comparisons. Interior pre-conditioning capability, time to unlock doors from phone lock screen, what information is available, etc. 3. I would like to see what the current service lead time is on each truck for your local dealers. Try to schedule a somewhat simple service, and show what the first available appointment is for each brand. (You can do this even on the mfg loaners by using generic vehicle info).

[@Mkg254]

Can’t wait to see the ranch content. An underrated use case for EV IMO

[@Bumblerazz]

I wouldn't mind seeing small space maneuverability. As in tight job site parking/loading/back door contractor access. Maybe see some reverse trailering capability/site lines/wheel lock to wheel lock/ boat launch type of stuff.

[@michaelfrank4321]

I would love to see a family road trip, or a camping trip, the normal family things. That is where different features of the truck come out

[@JeffKogut]

I would like to see a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the bed of each truck: laying flay, tilted, with bed extender, or tailgate down and strapped in - whatever works well for each truck. How would you actually move a sheet of plywood in this on the highway?

[@lastik777]

I would like to see which is easier to use as a power backup/generator. Saw some videos about lightning and how frustrating it is to use in that sense.

[@a-_-s]

The Home Integration System aside (they’re kinda rare, and I didn’t want to spend $4k on one excluding installation/upgrades), a simple procedure: (1) if you have a manual transfer switch, flip it, (2) take your 240A/30A generator cable and plug it into the house and the bed outlet, (3) turn on the bed outlet power. And that’s it. Other than the vague frustration of certain car systems needing to be more “on” than you’d want in a camping/generator mode, it’s literally 3 super simple steps, and easier than a gas powered portable generator.

[@stemapo94]

a real and fair comparison off road challenge! thank you

[@EricSmith-hx3gp]

I would love to see a Home Depot run comparison. Mulch, rocks, tools, paint, etc. Which one carries the most is most important I would think, but maybe efficiency for people who live in the sticks. Thanks guys!

[@onlineo2263]

😂 Most of these trucks will only do a home depot trip once per year. Most people overestimate the reasons why they must have a truck! Just say they look cool.

[@EricSmith-hx3gp]

Maybe some places, but not where I live.@@onlineo2263

[@SchieEngineer]

Car seat tests in the rear seat. How well due rear facing car seats fit? Can you still seat an adult in the middle with two car seats in the rear?

[@natehill8069]

Fold up the seats and see how large a TV will fit inside.

[@blast3001]

Test maneuverability in parking lots, parallel parking, home and public garages as well as small roads. See which one can handle everyday use the best.

[@CurtisLarimer]

Can we get a comparison of front and rear visibility both with and without cameras. Like sit in a normal driver's position and mark on the road where you can see.

[@TheMamonti1]

wow the cybertruck looks so big driving down the street but in the lineup it looks small

[@dvader3263]

The Cybertruck is shorter in length than a Toyota Tacoma double cab long bed. And the CT is also about the same height as the Tacoma.

Would like to see camper towing/camping comparison. Not just the towing range, but also can the onboard power be used while charging. Run the A/C and Microwave in the camper while charging. Can you plug the truck into the campsite 14-50 with EVSE and then use the onboard power to power the camper. So you can charge the truck while powering the camper off an EVSE at the camping site on a single 50 amp plug or even a 30 amp plug

[@Modikie]

I have a suggestion about including a new contender, just a common F-150. whatever the most common f-150 trim is, bring that into the ring and include it in the testing to see how they allc compare to a standard, no frills gas truck. Offroad testing, and towing tests in particular. up through mountain passes, not just flat ground. make it gruesomely realistic to see under the worst circumstances, how they all compare as trucks

[@Quickicecarreviews123]

Super important Silverado question: I kept hearing 350 miles and 450 miles on Silverado over the last year…. But at the Chicago auto show their plaque says 400 miles. Have they lowered their range or is the range totally different on the consumer version? Thanks

My cattle trailer is gooseneck. How do you put a gooseneck hitch in the bed of any of these "work" trucks? Also, I'd like to see a 4x8 sheet of plywood or an 8 foot 2x4 loaded in any of these trucks

[@larryspiller15]

Silverado and cybertruck do the plywood no problem, both have wide 6ft+ beds. Rivian and ford have 4.5ft/5.5ft joke beds

[@dvader3263]

As millions of people have done in the last 100 years with a short bed, for anyone who has actually done any carpentry, remodeling, or fence and deck building, the tailgate is kept in the raised position most of the time and the 2x4x8s or 4x4x8s or longer are loaded up and rested on the top of the tailgate. Then strap them in and off you go. Or, the same can be done with plywood and sheetrock with the tailgate up or down. Carry some tie-downs and secure the load. The tailgate doesn't need to be up to carry large loads. Most people aren't driving cross country all day long with loads of building material in a light duty pickup bed. Large quantities of wood to build a house are delivered by large heavy rigs towing a flatbed trailer and the material is offloaded with a forklift. People with an ultra heavy gooseneck trailer usually purchase heavy duty diesel or gas trucks costing $80,000 to $120,000 brand new. They don't use light pickups for that, most of the time.

[@ST-cy6we]

[@traviscalvin431]

An issue that I have had with my model Y is icy roads or deep snow. It seems that the open differentials allow one wheel to slip which triggers the brake caliper and causes it to lock up then it just drags along until i let off the accelerator. With these trucks I understand that most, if not all, have some sort of limited slip diff or multiple motors on a single axle so I would love to see how well they handle those conditions. Unfortunatley the weather might not pan out during this limited time.

I, for one, am a guy with a light use-case. I've been getting by with an SUV for years. The things I need to know are how much construction tools you can fit in the frunk, how well it carries 8ft lumber and 4x8 sheet stock, how far it goes with a non-commercial trailer holding half a ton, and how efficiently it does those things in terms of power usage, in roughly that order.

[@Robert-pm6bm]

Not related, but it’s time for another beak update. Did the service on the coolant valve help the charging curve? In regards to the trucks, can you throw in the cost of charging? This can vary depending on cost per kWh, but gives a good roundabout number.

[@Chargeonwithjeff]

Thanks Kyle. A one off request. I Astro-camp and I am a Lightning owner. My one big qualm is the inability to have the lights off while running the truck and opening and closing doors. I want to have a warm truck on cold nights and want to be able to get into and out of the truck with no exterior or interior lights coming on. I can dim the displays with red material.

I would like to see an ergonomics test. So many people get in their trucks with water bottles, backpacks, and phones. Which is the best with storage space for those items, ease of opening the doors (like door handles) when your hands are full, getting it turned on and into gear, and setting out, along with parking it in tight parking spaces like are common on the coastal regions.

I want to see a comparison of the bi-directional charging capabilities, or lack thereof, of each truck. How long will they run an average house during a blackout? Or how well do they supplement power to a house at night when solar doesn't work.

Would like to see a 70 mph tow test with an boat or utility trailer and maybe a charger race from 10% to 80% to see what all the charging curves are like.

Been waiting for this type of comparison. I appreciate each of what these trucks are. They tell an awesome story of what is possible with new/different tech (Cyber Truck) to what takes to go far (Silverado) hot rod truck Rivian, and the familiar truck (Ford)All these vehicles tell an interesting story for the EV truck market as whole. I get excited!!! So what I would like to see is what you are already have planned also I would like to have thoughts shared on what it would take to be competitive in the future bases on what is available today.

Kyle. Why not get some teflon tape and stick a layer on both the tyre and the wheel cover on the CT? . Or, a liberal layer of silicon grease between the two?

Just a suggestion I think you should use the power on board systems to build a shed..... And obviously use the trucks to transport the materials. . Happy building
