I agree with this statement completely. Honestly, EV trucks aren’t really trucks. It’s a truck body style, but it’s really for people who will commute daily. It shouldn’t cost the same as a gas powered version, or at the most it should cost the same.

[@ZvukUp]

After watching a few of these reviews, and driving the Sliverado EV myself, I don't know why a lot of these reviews say the ride quality isn't that great. I couldn't disagree more. It's VERY smooth! Especially for being on 24's. I've owned a lot of trucks in my life and this one drives smoother than ANY truck I've ever owned or test driven. Not to mention, there are THREE different suspension settings to choose from (while driving) and NO ONE who's reviewing this truck is talking about that. There's also THREE different steering settings for how loose or tight you want it to feel. I find these negative reviews to be false and irresponsible reporting. If you want to be overly picky, a very simple solution is to put on a 20" inch wheel and bigger tire. Problem solved. These reviewers are being very overly dramatic. My only complaint is no Apple CarPlay. The Google platform does NOT work better and I really don't like it. It's a money grab, pure and simple. Google paid GM enough money to not put Apple CarPlay in the truck. I find this to be a MASSIVE fail. It's in my other GM car and I use Apple CarPlay non-stop. GM, stop being so greedy. Give people what they want. You've already made enough money.

[@bruceleeroy8302]

I'd love an affordable mid-sized truck that had the fold down back seat option like the Avalanche. The price and electric only will kill this from being a serious buy for most people

Now this is how you build a quality EV truck..If you go to the site it was designed to be part of a home energy solution. The fact that it offers massive 200 KWH Bi-Directional charging means I can use it to home for several days in a outage..That is a game changer folks!

[@anthonypelchat]

Not really. Ford and Tesla already have bi-directional charging on their trucks. But they also have more power output from the built in bed inverters, allowing you to power a house or RV without the need for the 8,000 dollar house kit. Silverado only hits 7.2KW in the bed. Not bad, but not great. 30amp service vs 50amp for Ford and 11.5kw for the CT.

For basically the same price you get a MUCH better interior, you can actually park it in a normal size home garage, it's easier to maneuver in city streets and it's easier to park in city streets. I'd also add that while I'm not taking anything that cost this much off road but the R1T can go off road, tow more and the gear tunnel is actually way more useful than that midgate because it's actually something that people will use on a daily basis.

[@mkejake6673]

However that aside, it being animates it a better truck even at the same price is A) it’s more versatile B) it actually has better specs such as better towing capability & more horsepower & C) it’s actually a classified as a luxury truck whereas with this you’re paying luxury prices for cheap plastic interiors.

When *gm* revealed their new full-size SUVs back in 2020 I already knew they would make this move because of the simple fact that the wheel wells weren’t filled out to perfection. Go back and see how surprisingly “smedium” the wheels looked on the 2021 Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade due to the platform’s new size increase. The Silverado EV is massive compared to a Tesla Cybertruck, these wheels fit this truck and they even look amazing on the 2025 Suburban HC. After getting a good look and feel at this truck I’m confident that the upcoming Tahoe EV will look amazing as well.
