I love my 3WT Silverado, 1,000 lbs lighter and more towing capacity, but still gobs of range.

I purchased the Sierra a week ago w/ 25 miles on it; I currently have about 900 miles on it. I like the driving experience, the charging isn't terrible as I have a charger at home, its overall fun to drive. However, after being in the seat for that many miles in a week, GM didn't do a great job with the little things that matter. 1) there is no quick / easy way to turn on the cargo and interior lights without sitting in the drivers seat and using the menu. 2) the center console doesn't open up to 90 degrees and it isn't far enough towards the rear so when you're driving and need to grab something, its difficult. 3) the DIC is not easy to view when driving as the steering wheel is in the way. To see it you need to either raise the wheel all the way up or seat all the way down. 4) the user interface is not customizable enough, why cant we have shortcuts for AUX switches, the dome lights, etc.? 5) Bring back Carplay. 6) while its great the midgate drops, I miss a rear window that slides open... I also miss a functional sunroof. 7) it has air suspension, let me ride in a higher mode - its far too restrictive (similar to the Ram). 8) at this price point, deployable running boards need to be included. All that said, its a great truck. If it was a $70K truck I could live with it but for $90K, my expectations are much higher. I certainly have buyers remorse.

I really like Scouts approach to EVs by offering a gasoline generator to extend your range up to 500 miles. That kind of peace of mind is what manufacturers need to offer even if it only needs to be used once a year.
@MovingtoDesMoinesIA
Iām all for EVs and even own a Tesla model Y, but I would love to see the tech they have in this truck brought to their gas/diesel versions.
@CraigSmith568
I'm not against EV's, but I agree they should have taken a different approach. I also feel like they should have started with hybrid/plug in hybrid and then moved to full electric. An EV would work great for me especially since I've retired, but the price is still a factor and the lack of infrastructure. I feel that if they would have went with the hybrid option first it would have given them time to catch up with the infrastructure. By the way, I have driven 5 hours one way to eat lunch.
@KeenEye
Got one of these myself the other day. love it.

What happened to the snow? Where are they located?
@brunodobia9223

That was a huge š² in the background.
@ALMX5DP
Those would be definite contenders if they somehow managed to drop 3-4000lbs. Simply feel there is too much battery material and weight to make them viable as consumer vehicles.
@poppyneese1811
10 years from now when the batteries if your lucky and need replacing how much will it be worth. Also if your in a slight accident and the insurance company totals it because they are worried about again the battery pack being damaged.
@aroundthegroundlandscaping7107
GMC needs to offer the diesel in the single cab short bed. Give the people what they want I would replace my fleet with them šÆ You guys have the connection and should relay responses to the big wigs at gmc to help out the consumers and want they want
@healthyamerican
I wouldn't want a huge lithium battery exploding in my driveway, garage, or with me inside vehicle. EV is not for me. Plus, I'm aware of future expenses of electrical problems and battery cost replacement. Plus, who has time to charge anything? I get irritated just having to charge my phone, drill, and leaf blower.
@michaelbeeman4151
The price is the only reason i have not purchased one. I don't want to get 3 jobs to buy a truck.
@RoryVanucchi
No snow š¤£ Plenty of good snowmobiling in Western Maine and Pittsburg NH
@duggydo
All of the initial EV push was due to political pressure. Tesla is the only company that got it sort of right from the beginning with the charging network. I could easily get away with an EV 95% of the time. However, the EV's are so bloody expensive and inconvenient for the 5% of the time, I won't get one.
@CoordinatedCarry
I still think GM should move the charge port to the right front. Then you could use a Tesla Supercharger without unhitching your trailer or blocking two chargers.
@99unclebob
great video Howard/Stephen , one thing came to mind right quickly at the end when you spoke about price on the Silverado EV at $83,833.00 and boop the Tacoma Trailhunter popped into my head ,$86,520.00 , i think both trucks are great products and do exactly what they are built for and it just comes down to $$$, each one is $20,000.00 too much and there isn't a Canadian that will disagree with me on this point , i like EV's nothing against them and knew from the time they sold, it'll be a slow up take simply from the lost personal time you have to give up to waste charging the vehicle you purchased, if i could afford an EV i would already, living here in Manitoba with the 2nd cheapest hydro rates in North America its a no brainer, and those here who wanted to buy one had until the end of 2024 to have a $9000.00 rebate between federal and provincial, I take to a lady 2 weeks ago outside our local superstore driving a Tesla model 3 AWD who drives 100 kms daily and charges at home in her garage and it costs her under 10 bucks a week to drive, thats cheap, until then it'll be my Volvo 240 or my Mark 4 Golf both cheap on fuel the old school way š
@TPowell12
Howard nailed it. I think an EV truck would be great but the charging experience is still terrible. Having an ICE range extender would be a game changer.
