Explain why you like the ford better. Throwing that out there without any explanation kills your credibility as if you took a bribe from Ford

The Ford provides the opposite of all of his complaints. Mainly the weight, and interior comfort and ride quality. Yes the Silverado has better range and features, but daily driving when you're not doing truck things will be better in the Ford. The WT doesn't have the ride quality issues so a middle trim Silverado with smaller wheels will be the one to get.

So much to like, so much of everything.

***** Rented this truck for 9 days and the screen blackout and the AC gave out due to a HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGE which was prompt on the screen. I had no AC on a hot day while it was raining. I was in Texas when this all happened ***** Save your money until it’s fixed

I like it, the larger battery and fast charging meets expectations for truck use, but the consumer available RST is just insultingly expensive for the average buyer. Heck, even some companies for fleet use too. I heard consumers aren’t getting any priority for the WT versions as they’re going to fleets, so guess we’ll have to see how the first generation of sales does at nearly $100k a pop for these, as that’s definitely priced out of the average consumer market (lol unless they decide to make 10+ year mortgages for these trucks) 😒

The 205 kW battery shows that GM still has a long way to go with battery efficiency and technology. Just slap on a massive battery and make the truck super heavy…

You have a long way to go with your understanding of ohysics. It doesn't matter how efficient you make a truck. It all goes away as soon as you hook up a large trailer. The big battery explains why this truck tows 2-3 times as far as a Cybertruck. Btw, the Silverado EV is more aerodynamic than the Lightning or the Cybertruck.

@@TroySavary you are putting conditions on a factory made truck by adding a towing component. Let's see how well the cyber truck does versus other trucks in the water. Say about a foot and a half to 2 feet? You can add all the ancillary issues you want but bottom line is, there are going to be so many more cyber trucks on the road than other types of e-trucks whether you like the styling or the engineering of it or not. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday good sir…

@@sergiomessina2037 One of the main purposes of trucks is towing. The biggest weakness of electric trucks is poor towing range. The big battery is specifically for overcoming that weakness. For those who want a lighter truck, GM offers a smaller battery. Not my fault a simple concept escapes your grasp. Even the supposedly failing Lightning is outselling Cybertruck, so your prediction about Cybertruck winning the sales race will not age well. Cybertruck's only market is Elon fanboys, and most if those do not drive trucks. We are already see that Cybertruck hype is dead and hundreds of Cybertruck owners are akready trying to sell them. Go check out how many are sitting unsold on the second hand market. Sorry, but cold, hard facts trump fanboy hopium.

Heres what I want. GM needs to listen. 4 seets, a radio, a steering wheel and 4 seats. A 6 foot bed and means to stop. I want my truck to b optioned out the same as an 82 K15 with no options except AC. I want a below $30k price and if i want to add a tablet later, ill buy an iPad.

Oh no, GM is surely doomed if they don't cater to you.

GM won't sell many of this model and they know that. Ford & GM need to figure out how to make a profitable decent EV trucks that folks can afford, their survival depends on it. The lightning is a sales flop. I suspect the Silverado EV work truck to will be priced way to high to move in volume as well. Both the Cybertruck & Rivian are expensive toys, they're not even trying to compete with Ford & Chevy. Time is limited legacy automakers.........

give me a cast iron LS without cylinder deactivation, mechanical 4wd/diffs, take out all the remote control bot and data collection crap, and a lifetime warranty because all new cars are garbage -and all pay you, GM, 50k -especially since you're making vehicles where you get cheaper labor
