Expert Pick #03
Chevrolet Silverado EV.
440-mile range, 10,000 lb towing, and CrabWalk steering on GM's Ultium platform.
The Verdict.
8.3/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The Silverado EV's 440-mile range is a statement: GM is done letting range anxiety be an excuse not to go electric. That kind of range with 10,000 lb towing capacity addresses the core concern every truck buyer has. CrabWalk is a genuine innovation that you'll use more than you expect — parallel parking a full-size truck becomes trivial. The $57,095 starting price for the RST is competitive, and the available Work Truck trim targets fleet buyers with a sub-$50K base.”
