The Avalanche was criminally underrated. It actually made way more sense in the “suburb truck” role that 1/2 ton crew cab/short bed trucks often fill than the Silverado ever did. Due to the fact that the Avalanche was on the market two full years before a Silverado 1500 crew cab was even offered, it seems that the original intention was for the Avalanche to occupy that space alone.

This is a seriously sharp looking truck. Imagine a flat 4 cylinder generator in the front trunk instead of having that storage area. Essentially a hybrid electric drive set up where the generator automatically kicks in to keep the battery topped off as soon as you hit the halfway discharged point. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Imagine if they had engineered it to have dual battery packs,...where that small 1-cylinder "Generator" is used to charge either of the batteries based on battery switching technology. The owner can set it where once a battery gets to say,...10%-20% (User selectable), the system kicks over to the battery idle battery that has been charged by the generator! A small 5-10 gallon gas tank could be onboard that would allow for some 750 to 1500 miles of generated power! The active battery would also gain "Re-Gen" power. When the vehicle is parked, the 1-cylinder generator could charge both batteries,...or both batteries could be charged via Level II or Fast DC Charging! This would be the baddest BEV setup on the freak'n planet!
Great... another unaffordable EV. Honestly, YT has become one big echo chamber from all these prominent automotive RUclipsrs showing off things average Americans can't afford.
Cars have become very very expensive. Here in Europe it is showing in the sales numbers, sales of EV's are way down and most of it is due to the pricing. For a Ford Mach-E for example you have to pay somewhere between 60 and 70.000 EURO. Which middle class family can afford it? Here in Belgium sales are still reasonable but that's because most of the office workers have a company car as part of their salary package and companies are still buying them for their workers since they are still 100% deductible here where gas/diesel cars only are about 70% deductible. But when the government is changing that (talks are that they are bringing them at the same level as gas/diesel so companies will only get them 70% deductible) sale of EV's will grind to a halt. It happened here before with solar panels, nowadays people aren't installing them as much due to the incentives being gone. And tbh, even gas/diesel cars are getting very pricy these days... (at least here)
No matter what you buy it for used it'll be a ticking time bomb in regards to some random module going bad and ruining the battery. Gm/Chrysler are known for electrical problems. When the whole car is electric...watch out.
I loved my Avalanche!!! It is the longest vehicle I ever owned. I hated to get rid of it but miles were racking up and I needed a dependable truck for a camper pull. I was so glad to see chevy bring back some of the features but I am not crazy about the EV. Ask anyone in North Carolina right now how that is working for them. I need a real truck and NO ONE is building good trucks anymore. Good video!
April dear, do take care of our boy Hoovie, he's a nice guy and needs a fair chance to being happy again. We should be so lucky as he just got, your chemistry shows, and car passion as a couple.
I've owned an Avalanche since 2004. Love, love, LOVE that they brought it back. Not too pleased that they call it a SilvErado and the price point. But it is a beautiful EV truck.
tylers like hes at a star trek convention lol, but hes right, this is a updated and well done avalanche , you and april are a great entertaining couple, keep it going guys
I think that just means you can't afford it my man Apparently Tesla sold 30,000 CTs already, so clearly there's a market for these 100k+ overpriced trucks.
The NEW AVALANCHE is phenomenal. I still have my 2002 Avalanche and don't plan to ever get rid of it. But this... gives me a reason to buy a new one! ❤😊😁😎
Factor in the resale value of a gas truck and the economics of an EV just aren’t there. Only if you buy a used EV after the 70% depreciation does it make sense, but even then, you’re not guaranteed that the manufacturer will service it. Just look at the Nissan Leaf….
I prefer people that stick to the topic, not juvenile muppets that get off on a pretty lady. You came here for car content, right? Maybe comment on that.
Here is the thing its currently 40 percent faster then the already impressive Cybertruck as far as charging. One of the most common requests for the Cybertruck was the split back to the bed. I wonder if Tesla was working on negotiating a deal to get the rights to incorporate the split back on future versions of the Cybertruck. I could see people putting in a popup camper in the fall or winter and using the heat from the truck interior heating to heat the popup camper. Fold down the spilt back and just slide between the camper to the rear seat area to adjust the heat.
That’s work truck the top end Silverado is 70k if you want to compare. This is also a first edition and the actual higher end ones will be be less than 90k like this one and the work truck version of the ev will be around 58.
@@cndream1fully loaded f150 lariat is a obout $78k. I spend about $100 per week in gas. It would take me 10 years to break even if it costs 50% to fill up and not consider lower maintenance costs. *Not a scientific method. I still wouldn't buy a 100k whether gas or electric.
You could buy a nice little condominium for that kind of money about 7 or 8 years ago. The idea that you need to drop between 70 and 100,000 bucks for a pickup truck is beyond stupid. That's more than a Year's pay at the lower end for most people. In 1956, my father made $10,000 a year, and a new car cost $2,200 bucks. His first house cost $14,500 bucks. The comparative cost of vehicles and homes nowadays is way more expensive in terms of how much longer it takes to earn the money to buy these necessities. You need to have more outrage about the prices of new vehicles.
America....the land of debt and corrupt politicians not doing their jobs and letting corporations price gouge on everything. Because a few idiots are willing to pay these prices that sets the market for everyone else. Unless the government intervenes thats the way its going to be 😅
@@charlesbortz5524 no it mean's a house was affordable for a family of 4 on one income for an actual middle class. By your assumption of prices naturally going up the average house today will be $14,000,000 in 50 years
People buy hybrids then realize that they almost always just use the battery, then plan for their next vehicle to be full EV. At least that’s the trend that I see.
Tyler, right on, I’ve owned an Avalanche and loved it, then I upgraded and got the Escalade EXT… those trucks been super reliable and true faithfuls. I was heartbroken when those Execs from GM axed both…. Cool beans.. I’m game!

I was also very excited when I saw the pre-production reviews of this truck. I had a 2002 Avalanche (best vehicle I have ever owned) traded it just before the Covid lockdowns... Bought an F150 with extended bed to replace it (was also going to get a bigger camper and needed more towing).... and I have worked from home ever since. The Ford just sits in the garage. Biggest mistake I have ever made (the F150 King Ranch is a nice truck, but the Avalanche could sit in the garage just easily and not have cost me an arm and a leg). You are correct that the Chevy version does not crab walk. The Sierra EV does crab walk... overall the Sierra version is nicer than the Silverado EV. Would be my pick if I could afford a vehicle that cost more than my house (when I bought it 27 years ago). The 4 wheel steer would make a huge difference on trying to park something of this size... part of why my F150 just stays in the garage... the extended bed makes it very difficult to navigate parking lots and it doesn't fit in a standard parking spot.
Battery EVs are definitely the future. They’re already less expensive than ICE cars in China, where they didn’t drag their feet on keeping up technology and where their enormous consumer market means economies of scale are already kicking in
The ramcharger is the only new ev/hybrid truck I’d consider at this point since I tow race car and dirt bike trailers around. My Hemi has been great and while I would love a diesel they have just become too complex and expensive.
@@777poco They aren't being released until 2025 so I'm not sure how you determined that already. They have a super reliable and proven V6, can tow 14K, great fuel economy, and can be a generator/power source when camping. If your saying Dodge/Ram sucks I've put 400k on two different models over the past 24 years with no major problems or a single breakdown when towing the east coast.
@@curtismansell5254Yeah, Stellantis is a mess right now for sure but the ramcharger concept is solid. Excited to see how it actually tows long distance.
Looks like an Electric Avalanche! Beats em all, Tesla, Ford, Rimac in range, styling and curb appeal, Hands Down! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
@@BCNeil exactly. I am all for EV in Cars but trucks still makes ZERO sense to me at that price!! And yes I understand the whole home charging thing , but trucks are meant for long haul and road trips so I bet supercharging will be 80% of the trucks life.
@@MikeWolff1 Yeah but the first 400 miles you'd have used electricity from home at a much, much cheaper rate. It would only be if you're going another 400 miles it would cost the $165.
In Europe, you need the same drivers' license for this as for a full-on commercial heavy truck. Anything above a total vehicle weight (including cargo and passengers) of 3500 kg or 7700 pounds is a heavy truck and if you want to tow, you need the same full heavy truck and trailer drivers' license as you'd need for a full on 60 ton truck and trailer combo.
Luxury cars have always been the fastest depreciators. People willing to waste money on what to them is a status symbol but to most people is a large tool… are people who don’t buy used. So as soon as it’s not new, nobody will pay anywhere near the original price.
The depreciation is the sudden transformation of a status symbol that rich people consider buying into a useful tool that normal people want to be a responsible purchase.
Do you even understand what the majority of the marketplace needs? What is needed is a good used vehicle, of any type, for less than $10,000. That’s reality.
Agree. These are ridiculous lorries bought by egocentric narcissists. Over here we have the "Tyre extinguishers", all they do is unscrew the cap of the tyre valve of cars like this, put a tiny stone in it and then put the cap back. Great initiative.
If my car dies I am buying and electric bicycle. I can't afford to pay $800 a month for an over connected and complicated vehicle that will probably have multiple system failures about 1.5 seconds after my warranty expires. .
I recently had an Audi Q4 E-tron as a loaner and I had the same questions as April. When I put it in park, it turned off, I think. The AC was still on, the stereo was on and none of it turned off until I got out of the car. If I hit stop/start button after putting it in park, it came to life again. I put a 100 miles on it and used 100 miles of range and that was using the regenerative braking, which I wasn't a fan of. From my experience, I'll stick with ICE as long as I can.
Yo Hoove April is sooo FN hot. Don't let the Car Crazy Cutie ever get away from you. You guys are jellin like Magellan. Love your show. So much fun together and everyone agrees
I had the work truck version as a rental in Texas. Watch your head on the fronk latch catch, you will smack your head multiple times times. Overall it’s a great truck, just so massive.
Terrible economy where no one has money and you can’t get loans; and these companies keep releasing the most expensive version first. That makes sense /s
@@charlesbortz5524No one as the masses. I have money too. Doesn’t mean this will have much of a market. Look at its competition. They’re all sucking it up sales wise.
Will be interesting to see whether Stelantis survives. The only ones that will clearly survive are the ones who can *already* make affordable EVs. Which… is mostly just Tesla and several Chinese companies. China became the world’s largest auto exporter alarmingly fast.
These videos are so much better when April starts them....LOL I have never owned a GM product. This Silverado EV? If I could afford it, I'd certainly consider it.
Cool truck. I love it. When I’m done with my Colorado in 15 years fingers crossed maybe I’ll get one. Good job with the new channel guys. Well, sorta new at this point
15 years? EVs will be less expensive than ICE, and towing heavy won’t send range plummeting. This version of this truck will look pathetic in 15 years.
@@Neojhunit’s not really a pickup it’s a suv with a small bed. Like most of these over sized beasts gas or ev they are not nearly as useful as the last 3500 I owned from the 90s unless driving the kids to school is the point.

Ok, I'll bite this electric fish. It's actually very trucky, much better than that Pathetic Polygon Tesla. Way to Go GM.! But, Please drop the price at least by 25K and keep it fully loaded
Just look at ColdFusion's newest video on how new cars are spying on you. I bet you won't bite, but I bet you'll be surprised at how many companies are doing this. If this was a Nissan, it'll even track when you are having sex in the car.
You’ll are doing the pee-pee dance about how excited you are but what about the real world. You don’t talk about real world tow range or that you have to unhook your trailer to charge it at your public charger. Not everyone has access to a charger in their backyard . And the weight OMG(9000lbs?)and the price. Can’t get excited about the EVs .
And one look at the under body would make me never want to off road ever in the slightest, and be incredibly afraid of straddling debris on the road while driving.
Well, the govs. of the world are trying to force EVs around, so they have to make them. Wouldn't want to get caught with no EVs or no EV tech when all the govs. of the world go: Nope, no more ICE cars.
I owned 2 Avalanche trucks back in the day. I get it, they are awesome and like nothing else on the road. Now with the added luxury and quickness it is futile to resist.
Remember when your little toy cars had the 4 AA batteries underneath, that seemed disproportionately large for the vehicle just to make the lights blink. There ya go, we've gone back in time. Just flip it over and raid the wife's nightstand for 50 D batteries

They have a super reliable and proven V6, can tow 14K, great fuel economy, and can be a generator/power source when camping. If your saying Dodge/Ram sucks I've put 400k on two different models over the past 24 years with no major problems or a single breakdown when towing the east coast.
I aint buying anything Stellantis. Oh hell no!!!
@@curtismansell5254Yeah, Stellantis is a mess right now for sure but the ramcharger concept is solid. Excited to see how it actually tows long distance.
Great camera angles Jake 😎
Jake wasn't there.
Looks like an Electric Avalanche! Beats em all, Tesla, Ford, Rimac in range, styling and curb appeal, Hands Down! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
April is not only a pretty lady but what I like the most is her genuine nice personality.
Bet it cost more to charge it to full at a supercharger then a tank of gas!!!!!!
200 KW. Would be $165 at the supercharge near me. That would be from 0-200
@@BCNeil exactly. I am all for EV in Cars but trucks still makes ZERO sense to me at that price!! And yes I understand the whole home charging thing , but trucks are meant for long haul and road trips so I bet supercharging will be 80% of the trucks life.
@@MikeWolff1 You think 80% of the time you'd be driving 800+ miles?
@@drunkenhobo8020 what gets 800 miles??? This Truck might do 400 and under a load I bet that gets cut in half!!!
@@MikeWolff1 Yeah but the first 400 miles you'd have used electricity from home at a much, much cheaper rate. It would only be if you're going another 400 miles it would cost the $165.
In Europe, you need the same drivers' license for this as for a full-on commercial heavy truck. Anything above a total vehicle weight (including cargo and passengers) of 3500 kg or 7700 pounds is a heavy truck and if you want to tow, you need the same full heavy truck and trailer drivers' license as you'd need for a full on 60 ton truck and trailer combo.
It shows wayyyyyyyy too much plastic to be $100,000
It should be loaded at $89,000 or less.
Gonna take a NOSE DIVE in depreciation.
Especially when it's selling new for $70,000 with incentives in a year's time.
Typical american cars , and somehow people still waster their money. Smh
You talking about the truck or April?
I'm here for the towing test!
97k, go ahead and burn your money. Let me know what that thing is worth a year from now. No average person is buying that thing.
They did say its the fully optioned first edition model, I dont know what the start price is but I'd assume in the 70's probably
Luxury cars have always been the fastest depreciators.
People willing to waste money on what to them is a status symbol but to most people is a large tool… are people who don’t buy used. So as soon as it’s not new, nobody will pay anywhere near the original price.
The depreciation is the sudden transformation of a status symbol that rich people consider buying into a useful tool that normal people want to be a responsible purchase.
Wow , what a home run for Chevy. Stunning truck and I’m not even into trucks.
Do you even understand what the majority of the marketplace needs? What is needed is a good used vehicle, of any type, for less than $10,000. That’s reality.
That would be a mid-2000's Avalanche and it likely would need a bunch of work
Agree. These are ridiculous lorries bought by egocentric narcissists. Over here we have the "Tyre extinguishers", all they do is unscrew the cap of the tyre valve of cars like this, put a tiny stone in it and then put the cap back. Great initiative.
If my car dies I am buying and electric bicycle. I can't afford to pay $800 a month for an over connected and complicated vehicle that will probably have multiple system failures about 1.5 seconds after my warranty expires. .
@@ericcarlson920 check the prices on those babies. You can’t even get close to 10,000 for one of those.
Turns out manufacturers don’t make used vehicles.
I recently had an Audi Q4 E-tron as a loaner and I had the same questions as April. When I put it in park, it turned off, I think. The AC was still on, the stereo was on and none of it turned off until I got out of the car. If I hit stop/start button after putting it in park, it came to life again. I put a 100 miles on it and used 100 miles of range and that was using the regenerative braking, which I wasn't a fan of. From my experience, I'll stick with ICE as long as I can.
They could call it E-valanche
Finally, Hoovie gets smitten over an EV. I’ve been waiting for this day.
"Not alot to look at on these electric vehicles..." well, April is there 😂😅😊😅😊
Not a lot of moving parts to fix either.
Will be interesting when data are in about how much less expensive to upkeep EVs are as they age.
Yo Hoove April is sooo FN hot. Don't let the Car Crazy Cutie ever get away from you. You guys are jellin like Magellan. Love your show. So much fun together and everyone agrees
I had a WT trim for a rental a few weeks ago. It wasn't bad at all. Drove it all weekend on one charge and it was the quickest rental I've had.
I see recall coming.
You mean RECALLS as in multiple 😅
I had the work truck version as a rental in Texas. Watch your head on the fronk latch catch, you will smack your head multiple times times.
Overall it’s a great truck, just so massive.
Nope, as nice as it is.
April loved the truck so much, she was stuck to that leather seat! 😂
I thought the "CyberTruck Killer" was a functioning set of eyes...
Nothing better than a strategically placed microphone
Terrible economy where no one has money and you can’t get loans; and these companies keep releasing the most expensive version first. That makes sense /s
Speak for yourself. I just bought a second car and going to be buying a second home this year.
Someone has money, it's just not us.
@@charlesbortz5524No one as the masses. I have money too. Doesn’t mean this will have much of a market. Look at its competition. They’re all sucking it up sales wise.
Will be interesting to see whether Stelantis survives.
The only ones that will clearly survive are the ones who can *already* make affordable EVs.
Which… is mostly just Tesla and several Chinese companies.
China became the world’s largest auto exporter alarmingly fast.
Having April a car guru beautiful woman talented beyond measure love you guys
These videos are so much better when April starts them....LOL
I have never owned a GM product. This Silverado EV? If I could afford it, I'd certainly consider it.
Cool truck. I love it. When I’m done with my Colorado in 15 years fingers crossed maybe I’ll get one. Good job with the new channel guys. Well, sorta new at this point
15 years?
EVs will be less expensive than ICE, and towing heavy won’t send range plummeting. This version of this truck will look pathetic in 15 years.
Did the designers steal the Chevy Avalanche milk money along with their homework?
The avalanche row being back is the best part of this truck IMO
Another urban mall crawler worth 50 percent of its original price after two years.
It's a freaking pickup truck, not the best form factor for off-roading. On road is where this form of vehicle belongs.
@@Neojhunit’s not really a pickup it’s a suv with a small bed. Like most of these over sized beasts gas or ev they are not nearly as useful as the last 3500 I owned from the 90s unless driving the kids to school is the point.
@@chuckdavis8440 "with a small bed." With the pass through folded down the bed is over 9 NINE FEET!!! Why are you bunch soo ignorant.
@@chuckdavis8440 "over sized beasts gas or ev" Cybertruck is not that big and doesn't Weigh much. Yes it has many other flaws but weight and foot print size is not the problem. Your 3500 would dwarf a Cybertruck.
Still got my '05 Avalanche and still loving the utility. Wish it was the 3/4 ton though
Yea, Chevy won the special Olympics.
😂
How’s the inferior music listening experience in the noisy ICE car treating you
This is a great looking truck, nice wheels too.
Way down Yonder on the Chattahoochee, it gets Hotter than a Hoovie Gucci..
Great country classic 🎶
@@jakethesnake4971
This Channel borders on the unstated often.
Can see the happiness. Hope it continues.
Ok, I'll bite this electric fish. It's actually very trucky, much better than that Pathetic Polygon Tesla. Way to Go GM.! But, Please drop the price at least by 25K and keep it fully loaded
Just look at ColdFusion's newest video on how new cars are spying on you. I bet you won't bite, but I bet you'll be surprised at how many companies are doing this. If this was a Nissan, it'll even track when you are having sex in the car.
Wow, the new Chevrolet Ridgline EV really LOOKS AMAZING!
Gee, it's like rating the best pile of , well , you know. Does that mean it stinks less or more?
The noises he make when a truck turns him on, is like the noises he makes when April turns him on? Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Buy it 2 years old for $25k
Thanks for sharing guys !
You’ll are doing the pee-pee dance about how excited you are but what about the real world. You don’t talk about real world tow range or that you have to unhook your trailer to charge it at your public charger. Not everyone has access to a charger in their backyard . And the weight OMG(9000lbs?)and the price. Can’t get excited about the EVs .
And one look at the under body would make me never want to off road ever in the slightest, and be incredibly afraid of straddling debris on the road while driving.
So hyped for the Trail Boss version of this truck!
How many times or different forms of rejection do we need to give these automakers. Nobody is asking for this product.
I agree. April can be as enthusiastic as she wants, EV's are garbage and most people realize it. That's why demand has fallen through the floor.
Well, the govs. of the world are trying to force EVs around, so they have to make them. Wouldn't want to get caught with no EVs or no EV tech when all the govs. of the world go: Nope, no more ICE cars.
But the government said we need it.
@@IraqVet0608 I did the same type of comment previously to answer to this comment and it was deleted... lol
@@chassegallerie2910well if we all unite together, maybe they will get the point!
I owned 2 Avalanche trucks back in the day.
I get it, they are awesome and like nothing else on the road. Now with the added luxury and quickness it is futile to resist.
I'm excited just by the shirt she's wearing lol !!
Whistling Diesel needs to test this out
Remember when your little toy cars had the 4 AA batteries underneath, that seemed disproportionately large for the vehicle just to make the lights blink. There ya go, we've gone back in time. Just flip it over and raid the wife's nightstand for 50 D batteries
If they'll make a 2-door Blazer version out of this, like there were in the good ol' days, I'm buying one of those!!!!
