2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV Consumer Reviews

Great Truck
Only had a few weeks, to early to give a long term review. So far it's been a great truck. You guys that will pull a trailer with trailer brakes, need to turn off one pedal drive. One pedal drive turn on brake light when you slow down & the trailer brakes will activate. When hooking the trailer up, turn off parking assist.

This Truck Really Gets Me
I wanted a EV pickup that would do it all... and I found it. I have a side business making furniture, so I need to haul 10-11 foot boards. Try that in a Rivian or any other EV. The RST mid-gate makes it easy. I also love the luxuriously excessive range. One day I started at 80% charge, trailered 120 miles (Supercruise takes a lot of stress out), took my wife to the big city for dinner another 120 miles, and still had 30% on the battery. Most days I don't charge at all. To this point, I've never been in the position of having to plan my activities around the need to charge, which means a lot--who wants to be a slave to their vehicle's need. As far as the complaints about the interior not being posh enough, it sure works for me. I'm out in the country, so I track mud, dirt, grass and sawdust into my truck all of the time. I need something that can handle a little abuse and still clean up nice. Chevy's all-weather floormats provide total protection. The modern look of the truck projects power and sophistication. It doesn't attract the attention of the Cybertruck (which I nearly bought instead), but I did have a conversation with a nice couple in a supermarket parking lot yesterday who were mystified when I put my groceries where the motor should be... plus I don't really need to be the center of attention all the time. The acceleration is violent. I know there are faster zero-to-60s with the Cyberbeast, but when I have the nerve to push the accelerator all the way down for a couple of seconds in WOW mode the adrenaline rush, headache and nausea are perfectly sufficient for me. If I could accerate faster, I wouldn't want to. I'm not a techno-geek, but the many features--camera views, drive modes, parking assist, height, etc. are fun to play with. And, Super Cruise is fantastic! It doesn't have blind spots, changes lanes aggressively in traffic to get me to my destination as fast as I want it to, and always pays attention. I feel safer when it's driving... and it's relaxing to watch it do its thing. I don't worry about money at this time of my life, so I was able to buy the truck I wanted, and this was the one. There are certain things that the Rivian or Cybertruck can do better (or faster), but the things the Silverado RST does that the others can't makes this the best (and maybe only viable) option for me. Owning it for a few weeks has only made me love it more. It just makes me want to go places.
