    @markpatey this is one of the best real world reviews i have ever watched! Thank you so much for sharing your real world experience, i think the only truck to take on your new GMC will be another GMC the Hummer EV has even better performance than the Ford and better ride comfort with all the other things you like about GMC! Truly great content 👍.

    I bought my wife a model 3 a few years ago. We both liked it so much that we sold our last gas car this year and bought a model Y for me. I installed two wall chargers in our car port and we both just plug in when we get home. The cars are always full the next morning. I'm never going to buy $5 gas again. Except for my airplane! The airplane is still gas, but it's around $7 per gallon. Lol.

    Hey Mark 👋 the new GMC electric pickup is advertised at 440 miles and real-world has been 450-460 miles not towing. The torque steer thing on the GMC is probably due to the 50/50 torque split. If they do a update on it and change the split to 45/55 that should fix the torque steer.

    Thanks Mark. I have long needed an new/electric vehicle, and made a deposit on the CyberTruck, and almost decided on the Ford instead, but then GM came out with the G.O.A.T. EV truck. Ford Dealers were marking up the Lightning, Tesla did NOT deliver on the specs or the price and the aluminum body was a drawback for reliability....Then GM knocked one out of the park! Still beyond my means sadly, but one day....

    Just keep in mind that stacking anything in the bed above the lower barrier will be very dangerous in a wreck.
    I don't think I would stack very many sheets of anything that can slide into the back of the front seats or the back of your head.
    I must admit, the GMC does look great and has a lot of nice features... Keep us updated on reliability.

    • @-joe-davidson

    Thanks for the review. I am glad to hear Ford is making a quality electric vehicle. I am in the process of purchasing my first electric vehicle from a friend.

    Awesome reviews Mark. I had a thought regarding not being able to haul your trailer up to the cabin and home again with the F150. I wonder if you could use an Anker F3800 as a 'ferry tank' and either pre-charge and haul it with, or have it based at the cabin (if the cabin is not off the grid.) I'm no engineer so I have absolutely no idea if it would provide the needed range, but it's where my brain went when you mentioned that issue. Cheers!

    I used to drive a Skoda Superb diesel, but have switched to a Skoda Enyaq 80x for my work car. The Superb ran fine for 445.000 km over 7 years. Have driven 54.000 km so far in 1½ year, no maintenance so far, only new summer tires. A diesel would be close to the second oil change by now. Cost per kilometer is down to 22% or thereabouts electricity vs diesel.

    Wow, I'm not even remotely in the market for a truck but I still enjoyed watching this. It seems like GM got a lot right with that Sierra Denali. I love the ability to put full 4x8 sheet goods into the bed. One question about the Lightning and the towing range: what prevents you from charging the Lightning up at the cabin? It seems like that would get you the range you need to get back.

    The looks are bad from the front, the headlights are ugly too and the badge on the side. They could of just made it look like the gas f150's, which look much better in my opinion, but they didn't and don't think for a second they don't know what people like. That's why I don't think they really want us buying them yet. They are likely battling between trying to please regulators and present themselves as a green company to the world while also trying to milk more profits out of the "long ago paid for" R and D of the classic gas f150 with the ecoboost or the 5.0. Maybe they get pressure from oil companies as well, who knows. Also, the price and currently non existent domestic supply of lithium might be playing a factor. (all my personal opinion and theory)

    not a range anxiety, but final reserve. like in airplines. so usable range is: car range minus final reserve. so 150miles of range is 2x more usuble range than 100miles (because on both you have 50miles of rinal reserve)

      I believe the Denali road smoother. Maybe they put on a different suspension. Some research will be needed.
      Also the Denali has a variable regen paddle. The Silverado is on/off or maybe 2-stage.
      I nice Ford Lightning can be had for 66k.

    Hey there, what was the name of that company you sold? I need to get something developed and I'm looking for an engineering company that specializes in electric mobility and batteries and is in the US. I saw how best tugs operate a few years ago and recently thought about reaching out to your brother about this exact thing.

    Just ask the fire departments and owners on the East coast about those EV’s and big Battery power supplies.
    It was all over the news about all the fires the Fire Department was responding to when they could have been helping people instead.
    The cost for an EV is just stupid and when you get the less expensive version you are basically getting a really ugly design that has less features than a work truck.
    The other thing is the subscription services that come with EV’s. You now have to pay for option through a subscription. Rather than buy 2 different vehicles I’ll stick to a gas and a diesel that is capable of doing everything. I get 24-26 mpg in my deleted diesel and haven’t had to touch my engine since deleting it. I can also drive about 945 miles on a single fuel up with my small extended fuel tank too. Which means if I’m not driving on road trips I don’t have to visit the gas station but once a month.

      You should know by now that nothing in the main stream media is true. The same with this issue. The truth is that gas cars have about 50 times the rate of fires as in EVs. This is real data from the insurance industry. Don't believe anything the main stream media says.

      GM is an easy target. Sure the had some duds, but not nearly as bad as people make them out to be. Just look around next time your on the road. The only trucks from the 90s still on the road are 95% GMT400 trucks and rest are Toyota and ford really

    Wanted an EV in the worst way, until I saw one burn. Holy crap! If you're in an EV and see or smell smoke, get out right there, don't go another mile. I know, a gas vehicle will burn too, but not like this, and water just pisses it off.
