Honored to receive your seal of approval! 👏

Can we talk about the hair in that picture? Classic

I was not expecting this truck to be this cool.

dang... im genuinely impressed. i think this is the first truck ive seen in at least 15~20 years that is designed to be used as a tool and not just a taller car to blind people with at night, and its an EV no less. good job gm, im very interested in picking one up once prices drop down from selling your firstborn levels

It's almost like GM listened to their customers. Wild.

That midgate on a capped truck could make for an incredible camper.

Okay, I'm a Ford guy but damn that 220 outlet and false wall are some sick sweet features, especially the false rear wall! Definitely the best use, most innovative feature I've ever seen, well done Chevy, I see you're making up for the Fiero still.

Well done Chevrolet from the UK. That is a very impressive achievement. I hope you have great sales success and change the EV landscape with this one.

0:18 The realism on that Cybertruck illustration caught me off-guard. Good work channel animators

This is maybe the first time I've been thoroughly impressed by an EV in years. This is a huge jump in practicality and worth

I LOVE MY AVALANCHE! I am SOOO excited to see it reborn as the EV RST. With the window still in but the midgate down, you can have a tonneau cover on, (like the older Avalanche) and have the cab sealed and still haul over 8 foot long material with the tailgate up.

I am actually impressed with this truck. So many nice features that clearly takes into account that current and previous chevy owners will like the truck.

I’ve never been a Chevy guy, but I gotta say I’m impressed with this truck. Not only did they hit the nostalgia factor with the design but that range is really impressive

This truck must have been designed by a tradesman, or at least had one consulted on during its design. It's got everything that works just right for people in the rough work trade like construction, plumbing, contracting, woodworking etc. That tailgate that becomes a step, the built-in step in case you can't use the one in the tailgate, the removable back wall and the way it's designed to stow everything away neatly - the glass panel and the seatbelt clips - the rear power outlets, the switchable rearview mirror.....everything's just so useful and functional, and keeps away neatly when not needed.

Thank you for the metric conversions on screen!

Wow! Not a truck/pick up truck person, but had wondered for years why nobody dropped the back panel to extend the bed. Glad to see someone doing it.

And this is why I've driven an Avalanche for 18 years. Avalanche fold down mid gate was a game changer and still is!

Seems like this came out of nowhere! I’m not normally a truck person, but this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. Excellent range and charging speed, normal-looking design, HUD, digital rear-view mirror, huge bed capacity (!), DEDICATED HVAC CONTROLS - it’s actually perfect.

I kind of love the friendship and brotherhood Zach and Dan share in their Collab videos , you guys should fight more 😅. Love to see you lads have more fun.

I was looking at the cybertruck, this just changed my mind... WOW 460 miles, just wow. Congrats Chevy, my check is waiting for the release.

1:00 Zach with hair? Wow. Also check and see if the paint scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7.

I work as an engineer that makes the batteries for this truck and the rest of GM’s EV line up. It’s so cool to see you review something I’m a part of making as I’ve been watching you for a while.

SUPER DOPE!! Was so dope to meet you in the airport on the way to makeing this video!!

Been waiting for this Ready to watch the next one

“So much room for activities” Best line ever

Dude, the implementation on the midgate folding away is SO slick! As long as nothing ends up leaking, this is easily the best implementation of something like this ever done. So cool! Well done Chevy!

The price makes this a lot less exciting than it felt to watch the video. It’s $96,395, which is over the $80K limit for the $7,500 tax credit. This is the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink version so maybe the more basic trims will put it within range. $72,500 would still be a stretch for people like myself, but coupled with no gas costs nor oil changes and other forms of maintenance needed it could work. Depends on charging costs, insurance premiums, and the more frequently needed new tires due to the weight. All that aside, this thing is awesome. The fold down back cab wall is brilliant. So much thought went into getting maximum use out of this truck. The price is justified by its function rather than being jacked up by essentially useless bells and whistles.

I own an avalanche, and I use the midgate often enough. It would be great if the original ones had this 60/40 split though, with the EV they listened to the customers that own and love these, you can drop part of the back seat AND a section of the midgate if you leave the glass and crossbar there, then you can seat three. Some avalanches had the bench front seat and can still have three people though, very rare option, like the HD Avalanche

Finally, a truck made like an actual truck. Nowadays most beds are tiny and can't carry anything.

4:55 Wow actually making, essentially, a 2dr long bed truck again for the masses but still being able to seat 4 people when you don't need to haul ALL OF THE THINGS. I quite like that actually. Nice job GM.

I once owned a 2005 Nakid Avalanche 4x4 Z71. I bought used in 2006, with only 8,900 miles. Totally trouble free for my entire 5 years and 78,000 miles. The only negative was 12-20 mpg depending how many lights, traffic and speed. The most I ever hauled was a load a sheet rock from Home Depot to home to finish the basement, a total of 28, 4x8 sheets at 68 lbs each a total of 1,904 lbs plus 50 lbs of screws. All weather tight under the hard bed cover with the window left in. The truck rode fantastic, got an average of 15 mpg round trip, then when I got home I was easily able to drive through to the walk in basement entrance that was up one hill and down another, all in 4low. The gas tank was 35 gallons that got a total of at least 400 miles all over The Smokey Mountains and Tail Of The Dragon, on a trip to Pigeon Forge. That also happened when a refinery failure caused a gas shortage in the mid Atlantic states. We stopped at 1/4 tank at the foot of Rt. 441 in N. C. , where the next gas station was over the mountains and 40 miles, mostly uphill at 10 mpg! The max amount of gas was 5 gallons each. I explained how I was a dumb Yankee from MA and needed more on vacation to get to where I was going. The owner of the small gas station was very friendly and allowed us to fill up at the reg price! Easily done in 5 minutes, for 32 gallons.

Everything else aside, what a beautiful view where you decided to stop midway.

I love the fact that the battleground for electric vehicle innovation has come down to a competition between electric trucks and how useful/versatile in real world situations they are, pretty dope

I’m not a truck guy, but wow! Lots of truly useful features that aren’t available in other EVs. Pretty cool. Thanks for showing us the truck!

Man, I am loving the Silverado. I can’t get enough of the removable back wall.

That fold down cab wall is very cool I can imagine cruising down a backroad with the windows down and that open wall it would be like a comfortable motorcycle

this is the most real truck ev I've seen yet. I was really excited for the f150 but I'm def more impressed with this! Maybe in 20 years when i can afford it I'll have one haha

This is what I would spend money on, not just design, but clever design and utility. Awesome!

You correctly attribute the "sail panel" to the older Chevy Avalanche (also called a flying buttress on the even older Pontiac Fiero), but seem not to remember that the Avalanche pioneered the step bumper we see in todays GM pickups, as well as the Midgate cargo extension feature. In the Avalanche (also seen in the Cadillac Escalade EXT and the Hummer H2 SUT), the folding hard tonneau allowed the midgate to fold while the back glass remained in place.. which allowed over 8 feet of covered and weatherproof storage (real handy for lumber shopping in the rain, and less cavernous in the H2, obviously). I am really gratified and appreciative that your review and enthusiasm is sparking new conversations about these innovative features, because I feel they were under appreciated when they were originally released to the public.

The mileage calculator is really accurate. I’m a Cadillac lyriq owner and that’s always been really impressive for me and gives me a sense of calm because I known the estimations are accurate.

It really feels like they took the essence of the Avalanche and merged it with a Silverado EV. Love it, the mileage, the features. Wish it was priced more aggressively in Canada. I'd be curious to know the time to charge to full and the cost however.

I never knew I needed this truck in my life before this video

Perfect example of why competition is good and healthy (when done right) No a supper fan of Chevy and but can say this truck is looking better than the other ones! That range/the folding back for extra space say what now!! Well done Chevy well done!! Now let’s have some reviews of actual real world test usage!! Would like to find out how it does on day to day for about 2 to 3 months from now! Looking forward to it!

I don't usually like pick-ups and Chevies even less, but this one is a very smart execution! 👌👏🙇‍♂

The range is very impressive. Love the friends bickering over Dan getting you stuck on zero battery. The mid gate is a very nice feature. So versatile. I can imagine many company’s using it was a filming platform or a cool camper.

I love how he pronounced the town of Tempe correctly. One of the best things I enjoy about Zack’s videos is how clearly he speaks. (Extends to pronunciations).

This new Electric Avalanche is so cool, but pretty expensive too. I owned an Avalanche for 14 years and yes it had the same midgate design when it was built in 2003, everything was the same as this new truck. That feature alone was revolutionary. I could easily slide a long couch into the bed and further into the cab and still shove things between it and the closed tailgate. There was nothing that Avalanche couldn't haul. I once drove over 40 miles to pick up unfinished wood flooring, slid it into the truck with the midgate down and drove the entire load home in the pouring rain without getting any of the wood flooring wet as you could leave the bed covers on and the rear window in place with the midgate folded. Loved my Avalanche.

I love Chevy, I was so hyped about this truck. The one thing I do not like is when adding extra bedroom, the back of the truck is exposed and if it’s raining, water can get into the truck other than that I love the truck.

Out of all the electric trucks, this is the one I've been most excited for. A truck is a tool and it should be used as such. It has to earn it's keep and the Silverado can!

Watching the midgate bit made me miss my 2002 Avalanche Z-71. Loved that truck.

pretty innovative. I'm going to be looking at purchasing this truck in the future!

Wow, I especially love the 10ft bed, hope to see this rolled out on standard pickups. Trailblazers Chevy, you did go.

I don't usually usually care about trucks but I am watching this video and seeing the features they've put into this vehicle, I'm really amazed. So many good things plus that big battery. This might be the best truck to live with, if you actually need a truck.

My dad had 2 avalanche's growing up, best truck there ever was. Being able to put that back wall down is great, you can also pop the whole back window out in the summer and drive without it.

That’s it I’m sold now. I know which vehicle I want. Thank you so much for your review of this vehicle.

I'm afraid to see the price on this after seeing the $120K Hummer lol

Now... I'm NOT a truck owner, nor really a fan of trucks, but... I CAN see the extremely valuable/useful features this truck has on the work/practicality/daily use side... WELL THOUGHT OUT!!! So... PROPS TO GM on this vehicle! 👍 😎🇬🇧

Absolutely loving the throwback to the practicality and versatility of trucks like the Avalanche with this new EV model. It's refreshing to see manufacturers finally listening and making trucks that can truly haul and handle the demands of real-life work again.

Ok the “So much room for activities “ line got me that was funny!!

BRO that FRO! Out of sight. 🤯😆

I've had my 2007 Cadillac EXT since 2009... It has 230,000 miles on it. I love the truck... This EV is what I've been waiting for... Looks similar to my truck, but upgraded everything and finally a realistic usable range on an EV! This is tempting!

All without a tonneau cover too 💯

And 1 month into winter in Canada as it hits -45C and this truck will be completely useless...I will say this - the 2024 "all new" Chevy EV Avalanche looks AMAZING! (yes, I know it's the Silverado, but with this midgate, and the rear sails and tonneau coveer it's basically an Avalanche) And I LOVED my Avalanche

Think every single EV truck manufacturer is sweating bullets after watching this video. Great range.

oh no, all the $TSLA shills are going to be hating on him for driving a Chevy

Regarding cost to charge: 13:01 shows price of $0.48 USD per kwh (!) $0.48 per kwh * 200 kwh pack = $96 USD for a FULL Charge. (0-100%, rarely something anyone does in an EV) Seems expensive...but remember, you can charge at home for less than 10x the price. Here in Ontario, it would be equivalent of $3-5 USD.

The content and quality on this channel is insane. Just subscribed….

That cyber truck drawing 🤣🤣🤣

Aaahh!! They brought back the Avalanche midgate!!!!!

That range is nuts.

I’m impressed with this truck been interested in getting one in 2years didn’t have Chevy on the board but it’s up there now. That bed is a great design

25 years ago I entered the Tour De Sol (1st time) with an electric powered pickup truck that had a solar array where you might find a carpenter's rack. Everyone else had small, sleek, light-weight cars. We came in 7th place out of 50 entrants beating Ford, Toyota, Daimler-Chrysler and MIT. The following year there were roughly 15 pickup trucks at the race and a couple of the big companies would only show there vehicles and not compete.

Both the Volt and Bolt had the discharge/regen display.

I love that Chevy took this UKposts technology route, these two are the two to review an EV! S/O Jerry, keep on keeping on man!

this one video made me like chevy more than every advertesment i ever seen from chevy.

The Cybertruck drawing is just a pice of art!

Chevy Avalanche glow up it looks like. Super impressive vehicle and makes me excited for the future. I think practical engineering did some math as to how the chevy silverado also is the best in its class towing range? Shame about the CCS port but im sure that'll be changed next year

The cyber truck icon at the beginning of the video is very funny 😂

0:31 crazy fun fact, that is the original 1831 LONDON BRIDGE, now located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It was quite literally dismantled, shipped around the world, and reassembled in AZ about fifty years ago.

The midgate is something I'm so happy we're seeing come to market. Its been on so many concepts, and makes the bed a lot more usable for actual truck things.

1:00 I don't see Zach. I see Sam Bankman-Fried

This video got me sold on it. Hopefully i can buy one next year and the range is nice🏆

The range is insane. This is highly impressive.

I have an avalanche and the back end is the exact same... and is one of my favorite things about it. Makes this truck worth getting

That bed extension feature is not new. My dad’s 2001 Avalanche has it, you don’t have to fold the head rests tho and you also have the option of leaving the rear glass on and just fold the divider. That coupled with the fact that the bed of the Avalanche was covered with 3 panels allows you to include the bed as part of the interior of the truck. Rare uses for it I guess but I remember taking a mattress to our cabin in the mountains during a storm. I laid on it for part of the trip, avoided it getting wet and still enjoyed the AC lol

I love the versatility of this truck

You didn't mention the hands free driving, which it looked like this truck had. I know it's available on a lot of GM and other makes now, but this feature is so cool and works well!

Never wanted a truck in my life, until now.

Wow...i dont even drive a truck but that back paneling folding in like that is very cool. I am sure that will come in very handy when hauling super long items and even just for extra cargo. Very impressed with the Silverado EV

Actually considering electric if they can guarantee 400 miles. 460 is amazing. That should really ease all the range anxiety issues we have in the southeast US.

Really Great test as always. ,-)

My GMC has a mind blowing range of 1,080 miles on one 36 gal tank of sweet EV myth busting diesel fuel 😂

The ability to extend your bed length by folding the rear passenger seats down is probably one of BEST advancements in truck design/usability to date! They should add that same feature to a gas truck and then I might buy one lol.

9:30 - that shot is incredible 😍

This would be a life saver for my family. Wow!

i thought i was dreaming of getting a Cybertruck. Now i dream of this! I just can't belive the possibility's with this truck. Taking down that midgate makes it a amazing camper! This is why i love USA! Wish this car comes to Norway some day

Man I'm just excited for the Aptera... Having a huge battery is not a solution, having a lightweight aerodynamic car, is. 1000 miles range with 40 miles from solar per day. Love it

This is the truck that turned a regular car driver into an E-truck driver. Never wanted a truck until now & I never thought about buying an electric vehicle until now. Even as a Tesla factory employee... Good job Chevrolet

Finally getting excited for an EV again! I almost lost hope, good job chevy!

Never wanted to be a friend of a UKpostsr this badly. Keep being awesome Zack. And yes, I am a current avalanche owner and I’ve been waiting for this truck for a long time. Thank you for this review.
