EV Channels Review
The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition is presented as a highly capable electric truck, particularly excelling in towing and long-distance EV work, positioning it as a strong contender in the electric truck market. The reviewer highlights its impressive capabilities, including a 440-mile EPA range, 10,000 lbs towing capacity, and advanced features like rear steer and air suspension, all at a competitive price point compared to rivals like the Cybertruck. However, the review points out significant drawbacks, primarily the rough ride quality attributed to high tire pressures and stiff suspension, which leads to vibrations and a tendency for the tires to lose contact with the road on uneven surfaces. Interior creature comforts and the sound system are also noted as areas where the truck falls short compared to premium competitors, with the work truck trim surprisingly being quieter. Despite these criticisms, the Silverado EV RST's core functionality and capability are praised, making it a compelling, albeit imperfect, option for those prioritizing electric towing and utility.
