Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Picking mine up within the next 3 weeks ( in transit). I have enjoyed the videos from all your channels throughout the years. I find them very educational, informative and FUN! Look forward to a long term review and in depth coverage of the software. I think your discussions of the Rivian software have motivated them to make significant improvements and hope you do the same for GM!
Those plastic things you found in the trunk are to cover the jack points/Battery guide pins under the truck (not sure which atm off the top of my head). They are supposed to cover those after PDI.
Yes, I was waiting on you guys to cover this. Woo I can’t wait to watch. Great job another great video. You know what would be crazy and I can't wait for them to come out with it a suburban EV that's basically a house on wheels keep up the great work have a good one and I'll catch you on the next one.
Was just schooling someone on here saying kyle is gonna sell his "useless" cyber truck for a gm one and put tesla out of business😂 I asked him who's charging network he's gonna use can gm make money on such a expensive and a huge battery and they scale it can they make it cheaper but nope tesla going out of business BC I hate tesla 😂
He did mess up the math but there IS an issue here. You can’t max both payload and trailer weight at once. GVWR: 10,500 GCWR: 19,700 Curb: 8986 Payload: 1514 (GVWR-curb weight) Max tow: 10,000 Max tongue: 1,000 If you really look you can’t use all your payload and all your towing at once. Ideally GCWR = GVWR + max towing (21,500) but it’s not. So with a full 10k trailer your left over GVWR is technically 9,700. So once you subtract curb weight you only have 714 effective payload left. That’s definitely not taking 10% (1000kbs)of that tongue weight. You could only max everything out with a boat (they can go closer to 5-7% tongue weight or at least the Yamahas recommend that)
@@ZPdrumer I think it would be hard to get 10% tongue weight on a normal boat without the use of ballast since the heavy motors (either inboard or outboard) are behind the axle(s) of the trailer.
@@ZPdrumer no different than a gas truck really. I pull my 9k RV trailer no problems with my F150 Powerboost and I'd have no problems doing the same with the GMC EV
Always love seeing your videos , very educative, I'm really blessed only God knows how much I praise him, getting $100k bi weekly and I’m retired now. I’ve got a good cash and can also support my family
Can we stop talking about towing like it’s the only thing people do with trucks? Remember when Toyota Ford sold millions of small trucks that were not meant for towing at all.
Well, they have a little tiny bed, so the only other thing you could talk about would be how many can you seat in it and it has that HUGE console screwing up the front seat so you can only seat 5.
Then go buy one of the smaller trucks on the market 😕they already exist. And Maverick is killing it right now fwiw and plenty of Ranger/Tacomas still being sold on the gas side.
@@natehill8069 Our 1992 s-10 seats 4 (extended cab) and has a 6 ft bed. It is the easiest vehicle to get in/out of between any vehicle I have ever been in- it is the perfect height. It does everything we need it to without being an absurd massive truck.
@@tazeat i’m just referring to the fact that every time I hear a review of an electric truck they talk about towing towing towing when most people probably don’t tow much at all. Especially the F150 lightning is a half ton truck. If you need to do serious towing, you’re gonna get a three-quarter or 1 ton.
Great video. I picked up my Sierra Denali EV last month, and am absolutely loving it so far. My only complaint is I wish I could pin more apps to the top menu bar, or program more "quick access" buttons so I didn't have to navigate through the home menu so often.
Yes, they need to fix that and the reverse lights coming on and staying on forever after locking. The driver is walking away from it, but people think they're about to back out and are waiting for the spot. It's such a pointless feature that only GM does.
The lightning has the same problem with torque steer when you punch it. I really like the look of this truck. Someone on the road and it looks way better in person.
I've never liked the Chevrolet badging. The extra money for GMC is well worth it in my view. The Silverado exterior isn't bad, but this Sierra might be the best looking full size truck I've ever seen.
After the initial sales rush on this and the Silverado, I see them sitting on car lots due to the high cost. If interest rates come down at some point they will sell more.
Nice to actually be able to barder again. Tons of inventory for all the gas and diesel trucks too. Prices are dropping. Was able to get $12k off MSRP on my new 2024 truck
It's the nicest EV truck out there that's for sure. These GM EV trucks handle and drive like a real truck. I bought 4 of the Silverado EV W/T trucks for my fleet and I'm surprised at the range and how much it feels like a real truck when driving. Very heavy feeling around corners compared to my Sierra 1500 gas model. I also purchased an Equinox EV and Blazer EV.. my fleet is mainly Ford vehicles.. I am confident in saying that GM is leading the way with their EV vehicles. The range and capability without being 150k in most instances. Personally for the price I would buy a 1 ton diesel truck to do work.. but if they can get the cost of these trucks down to ICE pricing, I'd consider buying one for my personal vehicle. But the costs of these don't offset the cost of fuel of my gas Sierra I bought for less than 40k.
Happy to see you filming at your new digs!! Waiting to see content on the EV6 GT you have there. As for desires that cars would start coming with: For the digital rear view mirror, they need to have a dual camera set up so the mirror screen can show a 3D image. The binocular vision with software will get that. Then, everyone who complains about the view not having any depth perception will be happy. It is strange, but I'm used to it now and absolutely love the camera mirror. Second, at least in this transition time, EVs should have both CCS and NACS ports. It can be done since some, like Taycan, can come with two ports. Adapters get really hot and can possibly derate some.
One huge advantage I see about these big batteries correct me if I’m wrong is you’d only need to charge it to 50 or 60% most of the time. That should extend the battery life considerably?
No one talks about it but after owning an ev I can tell you I never needed to charge to 100 percent only charged once a week my battery the entire time I owned it never got below 20 percent. In real life driving you don’t drive to zero and charge to 100 every day like people make it sound like you do.
@@Icayn Agreed. The only electric vehicle that I got close to zero in was my 2011 Nissan Leaf. The crazy part about the huge battery they’ve put in this thing is you could charge it to 60% and get the range of a Lightning charged to almost 100% .
I wouldn't use the word considerably. Maybe "a little", and that depends on the chemistry. Just drive it like you normally would and dont charge it when its above 80% unless you have to.
2:40 in to watching. Had to stop to comment. I LIKE, I Like, I like the look from the front. Damn it, GM, GMC what took you so long. I grew up in the back of a 1973 Buick Estate Wagon. The Love of my life is 1972 442 Cutlass automatic overdrive. My Mistress 1969 Pontiac GTO 4 on the Floor. GM I have been waiting. You lost your way in the 80's. The Front look is awesome, Awesome, AWESOME!!! GM! GM!!! BADGE THIS GRILL $$$$$ This can sell by the front alone. Badge this!!!!!!!! Well back to watching the rest. GM do the Right thing.
GM just invested over 10 million into a company that going to make the batteries at least 20 percent cheaper and improves the battery density too not sure by how much but that could be a plus. I think GM really got their act together. They are also working with TDK to buy battery technology from a Chinese company.
It is nice and I am glad you like it Kyle as I still want to buy your Cybertruck with the range extender hopefully next year 🤞. I am towing my RV with my model Y right now! 🥴
finally we got what people have been asking....... finally at a price everyone can afford...... and to top it all off less moving parts equals we can charge more .
I just wish they would just use a standard transition between the bed and cab instead of that angled part so you could just put a regular camper top on it. A Tune M1 camper on a all electric long range truck with access to the cab would be really, very cool.
Ok Kyle I was sitting on the fence for pulling the trigger on the Silverado RST EV waiting for your review of the Seirra EV Denali Edition and I am glad I did the truck is just better, thanks for the review! I do want dog mode and camp mode feature especially as the Midgate goes down and with a good truck bed cap it would totally rock as a campmobile! Would like to see how good on Tesla version 3+ to see it's charging performance, especially as it charge port is Tesla friendly!
This matches every GM premium truck as far as how the interior materials go. I love this truck it may very well replace my current 2500HD Duramax as I don't nearly use the capabilities of that truck, I just like the power and the fact the extra weight gives a great road presence. Given this weighs more than my HD it should have that same characteristic. My biggest thing is I would love the option to skip the mid-gate, it's a cool trick, but I don't see a real need given that the bed is already a good length. I certainly don't see the benefits that would overcome the added noise in the cabin.
Fantastic summary. "Buy a Model 3 for around town, groceries, shopping, school, work", "buy a truck like this if you actually need to do some real work". IE use a truck for truck things and a car, scooter, bike for the things that don't need a truck. My truck spends most of it's time parked. But when it gets used it is because I have truck things to do. Otherwise I am in the M3. This is a good looking truck. Can't wait to see the tests. Crazy expensive of course. I want to see what Ford brings with the T3. I am a max range work truck guy.
@@lucwoolsey4147 Multiple reasons I don't. If I don't have a need for a truck I don't take it. It is huge, difficult to park, massive overkill, and not the best tool for the job. If I have a better tool I will use it. The car is a much better tool for the daily in my case on most days. Next efficiency is king, the less I use, the less I have to generate or provide. I have solar and produce my own power so I don't waste it. Secondly if you research batteries and longevity you are going to run across Dr Jeff Dahn's research he does for Tesla and others. The recommendation for best battery care is not to keep a high state of charge nor to discharge deep. Keep the depth of discharge for battery cycling shallow. He is talking about a 75-35% SOC cycle window on a daily. Contrary to what you see on RUclips it is not a good idea to charge and fully drain these batteries Out of Spec style. The battery experts will tell you so. Even Engineering Explained recently did some videos on this topic for both NMC and LFP batteries largely based on Dr Dahn's research. Sadly I think a lot of people don't know and are really degrading their batteries in the process. I would rethink the charge once a week and draining a battery technique. If you live in an area prone to storms etc keeping the battery at a regular SOC that would be useful if there is a power outage or you have to evacuate is a wise practice. GM looks like they are hitting the marks with this truck. I would prefer the trim without all the party tricks personally. But then again my truck is a work truck so it doesn't need to be fancy, just be able to do the work.
I'd like to see you test the charging while the AC is on. We've had a problem with our Silverado RST throttling the charge speed above 50-52% state of charge when running AC, especially on really hot days.
The GMC and the Hummer are my two favorite ev trucks. But the forgotten rear climate controls are a disappointment plus should have power running boards 😢 so at $100k
$100,000 and a 200 kWh battery pack. Yikes! I don't think I would say "good job GMC!" Just throw money and battery size at the problem? Maybe EV and battery tech need to advance a little more to make towing a feasible option for EV pickups. In the next 5 yrs, this truck will be considered a relic.
No one does, look at the Silverado vs cybertruck cross country challenge. They both ended up at the same time on the other side. So why a larger battery and faster charging? Efficiency is important
Tesla focused on rolling out a giant charging network in a cost effective manner, which they accomplished. It's a balance of charge speed and stall volume / supercharger geographic density.
The rear maybe needs a better, more up to date HVAC control system. It's a work truck, but most higher trim trucks are used as family haulers as well, so a few more premium touches would be nice.
Automakers listen to you, saying Android Auto and CarPlay aren't necessary is disappointing to hear. Vehicles have had it for years and GM specifically removed it from their vehicles. Nobody was asking for either of them to be removed. It's such a useful feature, I can just get in any CarPlay equipped car and all of my infotainment settings are exactly how I want.
@TannerBugatti "I can just get in any CarPlay equipped car and all of my infotainment settings are exactly how I want" is simply not true. I own the Lyriq and carplay does not map SOC to any of its functions in real time. As a real case, the built in apps are better for navigation with SOC.
Very impressed with a lot of aspects of these, but had no idea the tonneau cover was such a cheap setup. I’m sure the aftermarket will make up for it, but weird to even include it in a $100k truck
I have always been a GMC gal over Chevy, and I would very much prefer the Sierra EV, but looking at specs, the 2025 Silverado EV is offering 12,500 towing capacity with the extended range battery while the Sierra EV is only at 10,500. That confounds me as to why the Chevy has a higher rating than the GMC. I am probably going to end up with the Silverado EV for that reason alone as I need to be able to tow a 3-horse horse trailer.
I'm a Ford guy typically but I'll be seriously considering buying the GMC Sierra EV at the end of 2027 unless Ford brings something seriously competitive with their upcoming T3 EV and it's available to buy by then
55:40 Heh. The tire PSI is often a tell when someone is relatively new to fullsize trucks. We've always run our F250-F350s on 70 to 80 PSI. I'm actually surprised the Sierra EV is that low given the weight of the truck.
Would love to see a comparison to the ICE Denali 1500. Top trim to top trim. I bet the price increase comes with list benefits beyond the extra performance and mid-gate.
I love your videos. Your microphones shouldn’t be on your neck. You could carry them or mount them lower on your chest. It’s difficult with hoodies but the new mics are magnetic.
Was there ever a Race to Vagas with only the trucks?. with these long range tucks it could be interesting to just see how much the big range makes a difference.
Years ago, the general consensus for us to switch to EV’s was that they were cheaper than gas to charge, good for the environment and some argued cheaper to own with govt incentives and such. Fast forward and yes while some of that may be true, they still are severely lacking on the sale price front. If you pay $100k, say goodbye to your fuel savings. You can also say goodbye to your resale savings because you’re not getting close to that years later. Literally every 2 year old ev is down at least 40% of it’s MSRP or sale price. I seen a 21’ or 22’ Tesla Plaid for 50k with only 53k miles on it. Don’t get me wrong because I love ev’s (own volt) but i’m not about pay friggin 100k for instant depreciation that’s only comparable to high end mercedes and bmw’s smh
I don't know if it's gov regulation or automaker's kindness and consideration-- but I'm thrilled that full sized trucks are getting their headlights moved DOWN into the bumper. Us sedanians are going to really appreciate it at night.
Wait, you DON'T like feeling as if you're being followed by a UFO?
So will truckians in fog.
It makes the vehicle look "odd", but it really is nice when you're in another vehicle near it!
there are still plenty of sedans that can blind other sedans, so this is still a big issue with people leaving their full brights on all the time.

I really enjoyed the dual host format.
GVWR is 10,500 not 10,000. Payload is 1,514 lbs. 1,000 lbs tongue weight means it can support a 514 lbs driver not at 14 lbs baby.

Can you do an update on nokiantyres? There are no sizes for my 20in Model Y
Lotta people pay that money for a truck these days.
Max payload is 1514lbs. 1000lb tongue leaves you 514lbs of payload. You cant go over the gvwr of 10,500lbs. You misread the sticker by 500lbs.
He definitely was having trouble mathin there!
He did mess up the math but there IS an issue here. You can’t max both payload and trailer weight at once.
GVWR: 10,500
GCWR: 19,700
Curb: 8986
Payload: 1514 (GVWR-curb weight)

Max tongue: 1,000
If you really look you can’t use all your payload and all your towing at once. Ideally GCWR = GVWR + max towing (21,500) but it’s not.

I do want dog mode and camp mode feature especially as the Midgate goes down and with a good truck bed cap it would totally rock as a campmobile! Would like to see how good on Tesla version 3+ to see it's charging performance, especially as it charge port is Tesla friendly!
I have this truck…it will do about 180kw on Tesla V3.5 station nearby they just activated. It will hold that peak a bit longer than it will at V3.
Yea, the silverado is the cheaply made version.
This matches every GM premium truck as far as how the interior materials go. I love this truck it may very well replace my current 2500HD Duramax as I don't nearly use the capabilities of that truck, I just like the power and the fact the extra weight gives a great road presence. Given this weighs more than my HD it should have that same characteristic. My biggest thing is I would love the option to skip the mid-gate, it's a cool trick, but I don't see a real need given that the bed is already a good length. I certainly don't see the benefits that would overcome the added noise in the cabin.
I saw a Sierra EV with commercial construction company logos on it last week!
That's some serious ASMR at 24:05
lol even the mentioning of the vinfast makes me laugh
That truck is awesome just super expensive
Fantastic summary. "Buy a Model 3 for around town, groceries, shopping, school, work", "buy a truck like this if you actually need to do some real work". IE use a truck for truck things and a car, scooter, bike for the things that don't need a truck. My truck spends most of it's time parked. But when it gets used it is because I have truck things to do. Otherwise I am in the M3.
This is a good looking truck. Can't wait to see the tests. Crazy expensive of course. I want to see what Ford brings with the T3. I am a max range work truck guy.
Sure if you want but why can't you use this truck as a daily? Back and forth to the office all week I'd barely charge it once a month 😂
@@lucwoolsey4147 Multiple reasons I don't. If I don't have a need for a truck I don't take it. It is huge, difficult to park, massive overkill, and not the best tool for the job. If I have a better tool I will use it. The car is a much better tool for the daily in my case on most days. Next efficiency is king, the less I use, the less I have to generate or provide. I have solar and produce my own power so I don't waste it. Secondly if you research batteries and longevity you are going to run across Dr Jeff Dahn's research he does for Tesla and others. The recommendation for best battery care is not to keep a high state of charge nor to discharge deep. Keep the depth of discharge for battery cycling shallow. He is talking about a 75-35% SOC cycle window on a daily. Contrary to what you see on RUclips it is not a good idea to charge and fully drain these batteries Out of Spec style. The battery experts will tell you so. Even Engineering Explained recently did some videos on this topic for both NMC and LFP batteries largely based on Dr Dahn's research. Sadly I think a lot of people don't know and are really degrading their batteries in the process. I would rethink the charge once a week and draining a battery technique. If you live in an area prone to storms etc keeping the battery at a regular SOC that would be useful if there is a power outage or you have to evacuate is a wise practice. GM looks like they are hitting the marks with this truck. I would prefer the trim without all the party tricks personally. But then again my truck is a work truck so it doesn't need to be fancy, just be able to do the work.
This is definitely a nice truck!very hard to beat.
I like the physical climate control buttons on the Silverado much better. If that screen fails...
I'd like to see you test the charging while the AC is on. We've had a problem with our Silverado RST throttling the charge speed above 50-52% state of charge when running AC, especially on really hot days.
Kyle is definitely getting one
In CA this will cost $120 to charge.
Or pay 150 for a gas equivalent. Not to mention you can charge at home for 1/4 of that price.
Your estimate is too high. Depends on the rate you pay at the superchargers or if you charge at home, it costs less.
Just like a regular gas truck😂
I really like it great video 👍👍👍
The GMC and the Hummer are my two favorite ev trucks. But the forgotten rear climate controls are a disappointment plus should have power running boards 😢 so at $100k
You can start the charge session in the vehicle using the "Charge Assist" menu.
$100,000 and a 200 kWh battery pack. Yikes! I don't think I would say "good job GMC!" Just throw money and battery size at the problem? Maybe EV and battery tech need to advance a little more to make towing a feasible option for EV pickups. In the next 5 yrs, this truck will be considered a relic.
The Sierra EV is definitely the best looking EV truck. I like them all except the Cybertruck.
Everyone told Tesla their cables were too thin and they argued "no one needs 200kW constantly".. well..
No one does, look at the Silverado vs cybertruck cross country challenge. They both ended up at the same time on the other side. So why a larger battery and faster charging? Efficiency is important
Tesla focused on rolling out a giant charging network in a cost effective manner, which they accomplished. It's a balance of charge speed and stall volume / supercharger geographic density.
The rear maybe needs a better, more up to date HVAC control system. It's a work truck, but most higher trim trucks are used as family haulers as well, so a few more premium touches would be nice.
20:30 there is actually a lower height than that as an "easter egg" of sorts called Low Ride mode.
I saw that in the owners manual but I can’t figure out how to activate it.
It is so affordable - only $100K+ with options and vehicle sales tax!
Great Video! Can you make sure to test the GM truck charging on the v4 supercharger when you get them?!
Automakers listen to you, saying Android Auto and CarPlay aren't necessary is disappointing to hear. Vehicles have had it for years and GM specifically removed it from their vehicles. Nobody was asking for either of them to be removed. It's such a useful feature, I can just get in any CarPlay equipped car and all of my infotainment settings are exactly how I want.
Android and car play are necessary for vehicles with crap UIs. Build a good system, and the car play is a step down.
@TannerBugatti "I can just get in any CarPlay equipped car and all of my infotainment settings are exactly how I want" is simply not true. I own the Lyriq and carplay does not map SOC to any of its functions in real time. As a real case, the built in apps are better for navigation with SOC.
I still find it wild that Kyle, even at 6'1, gets absolutely *dwarfed* by this thing
Very impressed with a lot of aspects of these, but had no idea the tonneau cover was such a cheap setup. I’m sure the aftermarket will make up for it, but weird to even include it in a $100k truck
35:06 Brandon looking like a peeping Tom outside the passenger window. 😂
This is an excellent EV.
I’m here to listen to people that want to tow on this one. Not into towing or trucks so I’m out on this one but willing to learn.
So much better looking than the Silverado
My dream truck!💯
No way GM is selling these anywhere near a profit 😅
I have always been a GMC gal over Chevy, and I would very much prefer the Sierra EV, but looking at specs, the 2025 Silverado EV is offering 12,500 towing capacity with the extended range battery while the Sierra EV is only at 10,500. That confounds me as to why the Chevy has a higher rating than the GMC. I am probably going to end up with the Silverado EV for that reason alone as I need to be able to tow a 3-horse horse trailer.
Probably, the GMC weighs more than the Chevy (with same batteries) due to extra features like crab walk and such?
@@jeffs6090 Maybe. I would have thought Crab Walk to be more of a software thing though. Either way, it is disappointing.
I'm a Ford guy typically but I'll be seriously considering buying the GMC Sierra EV at the end of 2027 unless Ford brings something seriously competitive with their upcoming T3 EV and it's available to buy by then
the rear side of these trucks look so wierd. The front looks cool af. Reminds me of that horse sketch.
55:40 Heh. The tire PSI is often a tell when someone is relatively new to fullsize trucks. We've always run our F250-F350s on 70 to 80 PSI. I'm actually surprised the Sierra EV is that low given the weight of the truck.
Would love to see a comparison to the ICE Denali 1500. Top trim to top trim. I bet the price increase comes with list benefits beyond the extra performance and mid-gate.
at that price, with all the features, it should definitely have a powered tailgate.. big miss there..
I love your videos. Your microphones shouldn’t be on your neck. You could carry them or mount them lower on your chest. It’s difficult with hoodies but the new mics are magnetic.
Great video guys! I’d totally consider a Sierra EV next time i get into a truck.
Good luck. They're not going to sell enough for you to ever get one. LoL
Was there ever a Race to Vagas with only the trucks?. with these long range tucks it could be interesting to just see how much the big range makes a difference.
OOS should try and get a G Wagon EV, There hasn't been a ton of coverage on them yet. I wonder if they're just not in the press fleet.
super cool
That is an absolutely colossal vehicle, probably weighs as much as a small planet. Someone crashes into you in one of these and you are 💀
100 grand is terrible and unaffordable for most. Financing that would put a median household into an awful position. Median income is only 80k in US
@johnnyv9024 That is true with any full sized pickup truck.
These are rich boy trucks
What are the major differences between Chevy & GMC trucks in terms of features and cost? Is one standard and other premium?
Be sure to snap those covers in place before you do any kind of range testing. I’m sure it will make some difference.
Years ago, the general consensus for us to switch to EV’s was that they were cheaper than gas to charge, good for the environment and some argued cheaper to own with govt incentives and such. Fast forward and yes while some of that may be true, they still are severely lacking on the sale price front. If you pay $100k, say goodbye to your fuel savings. You can also say goodbye to your resale savings because you’re not getting close to that years later. Literally every 2 year old ev is down at least 40% of it’s MSRP or sale price. I seen a 21’ or 22’ Tesla Plaid for 50k with only 53k miles on it. Don’t get me wrong because I love ev’s (own volt) but i’m not about pay friggin 100k for instant depreciation that’s only comparable to high end mercedes and bmw’s smh
imagine charging this thing with its mobile charger on that NEMA 5-15 adapter 💀
[Insert Canyoneero song here]
I’m looking forward to more affordable versions
