This EV truck starts at $70,000. Who the heck would even consider buying such a thing? Plus GM is not exactly known for it’s quality controls.

And I’m guessing that just the insurance for such a pricey vehicle would bankrupt most people.

Oh, well. I guess if you want to save the Erf and make Al Gore happy, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Curb weight is 8800 lb. My 2023 Chevy Silverado RST is 7000 and cost me $30,000 less.

“I wish I had the money to buy a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV!”

“Why in the world would you want to buy a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV??!?”

“Oh, I don’t! Those things SUCK. I just wish I had the money to buy one, so I could spend on other things!”

Am reminded of Homer's car from that early episode of The Simpsons.

"EIGHTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS??!? THIS MONSTROSITY?!??"

It’s a nice-looking truck. It goes pretty far on charge. but I just don’t trust EVS.

Forget the Chevy...this is the way. If you have to ask how much it is you can’t afford it. 14mm ballistic armor, 800V JP8 compatible on board power as well. Do want :)

My truck has to pull a 24,000lb GW trailer, with a Bobcat & excavator on it, often 300 miles a day.
What is the tow rating on the new Lionel? (an old electric train model, for those of you from Rio Linda)

GM, Ford and Stellates(Dodge is easier to spell)... masters of rebuilding your car for you while your still paying it off. With far less moving parts to replace, they had to raise the price of the remaining parts just to cover their expectations of profit for rebuilding EVs.
