GM Reveals 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV - Page 2

75k these days is not aweful for a truck. I would go by dealers, especially, pre covid, and i saw a bunch of limited, high country type models in the upper 60s to near 80k.

Obvioisly not for the masses yet, but those models are coming.

If I can't get one for $60k or less I'm out. 60 is still pretty awful for me to spend on a vehicle. My house was barely twice that.

I had an '04 Avalanche. Loved it up until it got totaled...lol. I always understood my Avalanche was basically a Suburban platform, not a truck platform. Whatever...lol

Anyway this EV Silverado is definitely more Avalanche than pick-up truck. I think Ford will benefit more from sticking to a truck body-style with their EV truck.

Chevy had a winner with the Silverado. This EV one might do ok, but it's an Avalanche, not a Silverado truck. Just another name botch like Blazer...lol..

Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode instead of Hummer’s WTF mode. 10,000 lbs towing, 1,300 lbs payload. SuperCruise, advanced trailer features, plus ability to charge tools and/or other vehicles and job site management.

As I ask this question, please note that I am not a truck customer. (In other words, be gentle

) What does a pickup do that Avalanche or Silverado EV can’t do?

Work truck tows 8,000, hauls 1,200 and priced at $39,900. 400 mile range for both versions of Silverado EV.

TrailBoss version coming.

Looks great! Had a 1st Gen and a 2nd Avalanche and now a Cad Escalade EXT. This looks exactly what a 3rd Gen Avalanche would look like and very interested in it. Biggest issues I have are availability and workforce. I will be in the market way before any vehicles GM actually offers anything of interest and I try not to support companies and workforce’s that support and contribute to a party I disagree with. Why did I have to be a GM/Chevyguy!!!!!?????

Blazer EV reveal coming later this year...

Here's Equinox

You might find a lot of truck users won't want to buy something that needs to go halfway into the cabin and eliminate two rear seats to carry cargo. A full size truck should carry cargo without all the complexity and cost of a pass-thru Avalanche system. The interior will pay a price if used for truck purposes. With that back open, it's noisy, dusty, open to the elements. All fun on nice sunny days, but...

I would ask, then why did GM quit making Avalanches?

Honestly in my eyes (excluding a 2500 series pickup), an Avalanche/EXT is far more versatile to a 1500 pickup. The factory lockable bed cover, lockable bed Storage on each side. I even had a plow mounted on my 2gen Avalanche which is basically built off a 1500 series chassis. Just my opinion.

I used my storage compartments above the real wheels as ice chests...lol

I loved my '04 Avalanche. It was a fun vehicle for camping and trips when my kid was young. If Chevy thinks an Avalanche type truck will be as popular as regular trucks, good luck, but I doubt it.
