IS THE NEW GMC SIERRA EV REALLY THE BEST TRUCK EVER? I PUT IT TO THE TEST!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 makes a strong first impression, aiming to be the 'best truck ever.' The reviewer highlights its striking design, particularly the exclusive "thunderstorm gray" color and unique 24-inch wheels for the Edition 1. Performance is a key focus, with the dual-motor setup delivering a potent 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, enabling impressive 0-60 mph times of 5.90 seconds in normal mode and a rapid 4.33 seconds with maximum power unlocked. The interior is praised for its modern, luxurious feel, featuring large screens and high-quality materials, with the rear seat offering limousine-like space. A standout feature is the versatile midgate, allowing for an 8-foot bed with passengers still in the cabin. The truck also boasts advanced tech like Super Cruise, which impressively works while towing, and a highly effective four-wheel steering system that significantly enhances maneuverability, including a "crab walk" feature. While towing a 24-foot, 8,000 lb trailer, the Sierra EV handled well, though real-world range during towing was estimated at around 200 miles with the large trailer. The ride quality on rough surfaces is noted as exceptionally composed for a large truck. However, the reviewer stops short of declaring it the 'best truck ever,' citing the need for longer-term testing, including a proper range test and comparisons. The high price point of just over $100,000 for the Edition 1 is also a significant factor.
