Everyone forgets the fleet model is for businesses that are looking to save on the lifetime cost of a vehicle. This ev truck requires zero oil changes zero fuel fill ups, very few transmission fluid changes, very few moving parts to go. Electric motors should last at least 500k miles.
I like them. I am not crazy about the price of the “civilian” model. Hopefully the price comes down in a couple years when they figure out how to make them (BEV) at lower prices. I drove a competitor to this and it was great. It lacks this trucks range however. The 4WT to me is the sweet spot with best range if it came with less of the tank-like interior.
Did you do a review on the 4wt vs rst yet .the 4wt is more in my price range. thanks for the review. One more thing have you done a real life road trip on the silverado ev like 500 miles or more. There's alot of road trips on the lighting which travel pretty good thanks again. Just to compare
These trucks are overpriced. With 70k, I'm getting a Ford Lariat nicely equipped compared to a barebone WT. Chevy needs to reconsider these prices. Insanely high.
According to the owners manual, this truck has substandard outlets. Page 102 reveals that the plugs only put out 400 watts, far less than what’s required for most jobsite power tools. This truck will charge batteries, and not much else. I found out by accident after the sale. I complained. I want the outlets in my WORK TRUCK to be standard, as I suspect most folks would. I asked if this could be fixed,no reply. Asked why information as important as this was not disclosed, no response. Asked VICTORY Chevrolet for my money back, no, so far. I believe withholding this information from the buyer constitutes fraud. So if you can’t afford theRST,DONT buy this thing. You’ll be stuck with it just like I am.
You have to enable the Powerbase function on the infotainment system to use more than 400 watts from the outlets. This information is also found on page 102 of the owners manual. The system is as follows: "On select Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Trucks, the PowerBase system may include: Six 120V outlets throughout the vehicle and one 240V outlet in the truck bed. The 120V outlets are powered by two 20-amp circuits with a maximum power draw of 2.4 kW each, for a total of 4.8 kW of 120V power. The 240V outlet is powered by a 30-amp circuit with a maximum power draw of 7.2 kW. The total system power draw cannot exceed 7.2 kW across both 120V and 240V outlets"

How do you not demo the midgate it is literally the main differentiating factor
On select EV WT, what does that mean. It says on 102 that it won’t run a skillsaw, or refrigerator. Why would it say that if it wasn’t true?

In the US the LT (Ordering books open at dealers) is $68k with tax credit. LT competes very well with Ford Lariat.
Still a Ford
But can you get 420+ miles in a single charge though? Oh wait
The biggest question is can you put a ladder rack on the WT???
What about the weight difference between the two wheels with the 18 inch wheels get better mileage
