Chevy Silverado EV

I think I just read in business news that GM just discontinued making the silverado EV truck. Correct me if I am wrong.

And while towing a 10k travel trailer, would the range be cut about in half. Any real world road tests, I will make a search in a few days.

I am so out of touch with todays trucks. I had NO idea people were towing 10,000 pound trailers with half tons nowadays. That was firmly in the 3/4 ton if not 1 ton range when I was towing a fifth wheel. I learn something new everyday.

Looks like it’s got 8 lugs to me….
10k behind a half ton?? Hold my beer….
Lotsa 12-14klb trips over the Cascades with my old 5.3 Chebbie 1500s.
Not to mention it’s not a real pickup truck. It’s the equivalent of a modern day Blazer or Bronco with no cap over the back.

Kind of a nod to the old Avalanche style-wise. FINALLY, a Chevy truck with a front end that's not scary! Pretty much hate that "propped-up Ipad" look of the dash. Plus, I wouldn't be crazy about riding around on tires that I know would probably cost $400+ apiece to replace. Overall, however, a good effort by Chevrolet.

Agree, not ugly at least. Which is fortunate since it doesn’t have much else going for it….
Some people don’t like them, but I think Chevy nailed it with the ‘19-up half ton front clip design. What happened to the HD pickups though is a little rough. Like the big ugly sister!

I don't see a big market for a $78k work truck.

That is actually an Avalanche 2500 so largely useless for real loads and real stinger steered trailers for multiple reasons.
And According to the rvnet weight cops that thing is good for nothing more than getting the groceries with a payload like that!
So for ONLY the cost of a new loaded 3/4 or 1 ton diesel, I can get a fast (assuming it’s fast, can’t watch those 2 dill holes talk about trucks for longer than like 15 seconds…) grocery getter that will power the camper I can’t tow until the battery runs dead in the middle of nowhere?
Where do I sign up? Hahahaha
