TOWING WITH THE SILVERADO EV! EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TOWING WITH CHEVY'S ELECTRIC PICKUP

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck is put to the test in this comprehensive towing review, focusing on its capabilities with a 9,000-pound trailer. The reviewer, an experienced EV towing enthusiast, finds the Silverado EV to be a highly competent towing rig, potentially the best electric option for long-distance towing due to its massive 200+ kWh battery pack, which offers significant range advantage over competitors. Key strengths highlighted include its stable ride, minimal cab shake, and the effectiveness of its progressive rear coil suspension in managing loads. The integrated trailer brake controller and tow-haul mode are praised for enhancing the driving experience. However, a major drawback identified is the rearward charge port location, which necessitates unhooking the trailer at most charging stations, a significant inconvenience for towing. The reviewer also notes the truck's 10,000-pound maximum towing capacity and 1,000-pound tongue weight, while substantial, is less than some competitors. Despite these points, the overall impression is positive, positioning the Silverado EV as a strong contender for those prioritizing towing range and capability in an electric pickup.
