Thanks for producing this video, it shares very helpful and informative real world information. I’m an ICE guy at heart but I also know this is the future. I’ve always contended that once the legacy car makers entered the market we would see what is possible. We are now witnessing it. Chevy has done an amazing job with this truck. I’m waiting to mile out my ICE vehicle and will moving into an EV next.
Thanks for sharing your towing stats Rusty. I have a Sierra EV with the same battery, and I’ve had a similar experience, towing is great, much more fun than my F150. It pulled my 9,000lb travel trailer camper 208mi on a single charge at 60mph. Weight distribution hitch was used.
Wife and I are seriously considering making the jump. Would you say it's fair to assume one could travel approximately 3 hours between charging stops w/o getting range anxiety? Using your trailer as a bench mark. Interestingly, I watched another video where they towed 10k up and over a pretty gnarly mountain at freezing. A mix of paved and rough gravel roads. It was an 85 mile loop and the truck was capable of making 3 loops. Lastly, I am assuming this is a 4WT?
@@ShaunSee Yes it is a 4WT. Yes I think you can assume 3 hours of range. That depends on your trailer, speed, terrain, and weather conditions. If make the jump, I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
Thanks for the video. Im hoping when its time i can get a silverado ev it has a few more xomfortd like heated seats or steering wheel kinda stuff. It gets cold up in canada.
Really curious if you happened to have a 1/2 ton before your Silverado EV? If so, do you feel a big stability difference given the weight of the silveradoEV?
I feel like the silverado EV is t best out of all the electric EVs for axtual truck stuff has the largest range by a lot even when towing and has the best charging speeds as well with its 800v battery architecture the lightning,R1T and Cybertruck max have nicer interiors but if i got an Electric truck for doing work it would definitely be the Silverado
Oh good Lord this is not a vacation. Your tow 400 mi away and then you get to figure out how to charge yourself back up by bringing a generator lol You can forget boondocking. Or you can spend thousands on generators and solar panels or be stuck with going with an RV site with full amenities and hope everything is working and hope you can have the right adapters at the RV park to get back. No thank you. The new tech is quite interesting but there's no way in hell I'm going far away pulling a trailer and relying the possibility of having the energy to get back.
@@DanBlackRacing It is not that bad. It does take more planning. I had rather boondock with this truck. You can power the camper without a generator. There just needs to be charging infrastructure nearby. Similar to you needing a gas station nearby.
Does yours have air suspension? I don’t tow anything, but I want one for long distance travel such as from San Diego to Yellow Stone National Park. An air suspension certainly helps during the long drive.

Great and informative, thanks for sharing. Looks like a great setup.

Thanks for sharing. Can't waiting for a Suburban version with that battery.
You and me both!
Thank you for the details!
I am also looking at this truck.
I like how it shows how much miles you get from regeneration. I havent seen that on any ev ive owned since 2012.
Makes sense given the Silverado EV is very much more meant to be a work truck so you want more info

@@tysonb1486 The LT should solve that problem. It just doesn’t have the biggest battery.
Are you set to one pedal driving?
@@timj9350 yes

* listened till the end and heard about the F150. This is the same I feel with a Silverado 1500
@@tom89ontario Big difference in stability. The Silverado EV is a heavy vehicle.
Is this the 3wt or the 4wt?
@@timgriffen5978 4WT. 2025 model changes to 8WT.

Cool..
You are missing a third data column. Miles/kWh for an empty truck.
Here is data. Look at the end of the video.
ruclips.net/video/w8cm_isdFWo/видео.htmlsi=Y7cFACJ7M0CmboZc
‘I can feel the camper but it’s not pushing me around at all” Doesn’t the Silverado weigh 10000 lbs?
Almost, 8600lbs for the WT trim
@ the wt trim is the fleet trim right? How did this guy get his hands on this?
@Steve-qn8gn If you rent one which is pretty easy to find, it'll be a WT trim. I rented them a couple times from Dallas airport through National.
@@Steve-qn8gn Dealers are selling the WT trim. You have to buy it off the lot. You can’t order on from GM’s website.

@@rustyhardison9530 Boondocking is when the ISN'T a charging infrastructure nearby. lol It's camping off-grid.
@@DanBlackRacingI have seen people boon docking within an hours drive of a gas station or charging station.
Not real video its AI

@@louisasians7938 No air suspension on mine. You can get it. Just takes $$.
