GM stated that the work truck will NOT come with the midgate. Meaning that people who would be most likely to use it, the kind that use their truck to do more than go to the grocery store, will have to pay large sums of money for additional features they didn't want in order to get something that can haul 8 foot cargo. It hurt when you said GM has no current plans for any other versions of the Silverado EV. I understand that can change but the only thing holding me back on an electric truck is the lack of an 8 foot bed or at least something remotely close. A truck without a normal bed is just a really, REALLY heavy rolling paper weight. If I wanted four doors and a trunk I'd get a Tesla.

The "mid-gate" idea is great. The increasing popularity of shortbed trucks has been kind of annoying to me. Allowing the owner to fold down the back seats and have a larger than standard load floor is a great feature. In addition to the back window, I'd love to see the roof over the rear seats be removable as well. Then you could seat six when you want, or have a standard size bed when you want.

The Avalanche was a unique truck. It was based on the Suburban, Escalade. The best part was you can camp inside and if a bear or something come at you, you can close the rear gate door and crawl inside the interior to the driver seat and take off. No need to exit the vehicle. You can sleep comfortably and still have space for your camping gear. And with the door down you have a lengthy amount of space to haul things.

Been camping with my 1st Gen Avalanche a couple times now. It is the most versatile vehicle on the road IMO! I was even curious enough to look into why Chevy ended production, and it boiled down to sales of the Avalanche were taking away from Silverado sales.. which they were prioritizing in effort to be #1 pick-up truck. Perhaps that is why they left the Avalanche name in favor of the Silverado for this new EV.

Yea Drive 45 mins and park to wait 20 to get on a train that takes 40 mins so you can walk to work for 30 mins twice a day every day. VERY nice truck. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Just another freeway queen.

Well, thats cool and all but what about the folks that actually use their truck for work? What about the people who need a long bed? What about the people who need a service body or flat bed? A unibody truck does not leave any room for work related upfitting in the back. How are you going to pull your 5th wheel with a 6 foot bed?- kind of like the Avalanche- the swooping back of the cab takes up too much room for the tongue to swing around. Looks like a great toy, but GM needs to get us some real work trucks. Its like a Honda Ridgeline great for grocery getting and the occasional light trip to Home Depot- not something for doing serious work.

To all the truck people acting like EVs will never take over. They already have. Just because their range and towing range isn’t as good currently doesn’t mean that will always be the case. As battery technology advances, they will inevitably eclipse what normal vehicles can do. This is the beginning of the tech. Of course it’s not going to be superior off the bat, it takes a while to get there. They can’t just hold onto this until it’s better, they need to make money to invest in the future versions.
