SilveradoEV 2024 deets finally revealed:

[firsttruck]

The launch version is not rated for 20k pounds towing. Really confusing marketing on this with an odd mix of features some of which are not coming at launch.

Aha, I thought they were playing some trick. The $40K base model Silverado EV will not tow 20k lbs. Probably need $120K model Silverado EV.

Before GM ships 20k lbs. towing Silverado EV, Tesla will be volume shipping Cybertruck MAX-6 HD Super-Duty 6-wheel 6-motor version with 4,200 lb payload & 20,042 lbs towing.

Hopefully the rear tires are inset or something then. Duallys are such a nuisance for every day use.

Every time a new EV truck comes out I just think that they CT is going to be even cooler. The specs even from 3 years ago are still better than models that companies are announcing today. It does seem like the competition and one upping from other companies is making an impression on Telsa and I think these competitors are only making our future CT better. I think Tesla is being quiet about the CT but once the final features come out its going to blow us away.

Payload is limited to only 1,300. With my wife, 2 boys & myself, without any of our stuff. That only leaves 500lbs for tongue weight while towing. Tongue weight is supposed to be 10% of whatever you are towing.

So that would mean max. towing 5000lbs. No bueno!!!!!

Load levelers are used on most travel trailers and others. Muy bien!

With this release of the Silverado ev it’s in a strong second for me right behind the cybertruck. Ford didn’t do enough as far as design so they could stand apart more from how the regular f150’s look. I like what Chevy has done with this. The only thing keeping it in second place for me is the exoskeleton and SS on the cybertruck and Tesla batteries. I love all the new competition and it’s making it a lot of fun to see the new designs coming out. Like another member said, if they can put out a Silverado ev in the trail boss trim that would be the sweet spot for me.

The only BEV pickup reveal left is the Ram.

In typical Tesla fashion we won’t know every feature and detail until the CT goes into production. Tesla never spills the beans early to help avoid competitors getting one leg up so to speak.

I was thinking about that today as well. A TRX-based EV would be choice!! I'd probably slot that or the R1T into 2nd place after CT.

There’s a reason Avalanche was discontinued many years ago.

One can hope...

There’s a reason Avalanche was discontinued many years ago.

Because it wasn't an EV or that capable in hauling or towing as the Silverado is projected to be?

The RST First Edition sold out in 12 minutes.

GM is taking notes from Nikola and Chinese EV makers, create some CGI BEV to sell reservations then disappear……or file for bankruptcy again. All the money they spent on Nikola had to do some good right?

Edit: also GM delivered 26 BEVs last quarter so I’m 100% certain GM will LEAD in BEV delay-very.
