On January 5th, General Motors revealed the 2024 Electric Chevrolet Silverado. This has been a long awaited release. Ford came out with the Ford F-150 Lightning so General Motors knew they would have to respond. And they responded. The electric Silverado will not be coming out for a while but reservations are available right now. If you would like to reserve yours now, click this link to do so.
The Electric Silverado will start with only two trim levels. Work Truck and RST. The Work Truck is what the name states. This is lesser optioned truck that would mainly be used for work purposes. The RST is a little different. The RST is the most luxurious model that they will sell for the time being at least.
The specs on these trucks are actually astonishing. The RST model is going to have an estimated 400 mile range. 400 miles compares to most gas vehicles that are on the market right now. The only down side to having an electric vehicle is having to stop for periods of time to charge your batteries. Now in terms of power the RST will have 660 horsepower. The regular Silverados do not even have close to that amount. Where the electric engine will come in handy will be towing. To tow heavy amounts of weight, you need to a have a sizable amount of torque. The more torque, the more you can tow. The RST model is going to have 780 lb-ft of torque. That is a lot of torque of you ask me.
From the outside, it looks like the bed of the truck is actually short. And technically it is shorter that a standard bed that would come on a regular Silverado. But with the way the electric Silverado is setup, you have the capability to fit items up to 10 feet long. The way you are able to do this is the rear seats fold down to create an extra few feet of space. Also if you have your truck optioned with the multi-flex tailgate, you can add even more space. if you have the tailgate down and folded correctly along with the rear seats being folded forward, you will be able to fit items up to 10 feet long. And if you need just a little but more storage, there is a frunk. Where the engine normally would be, there is now a compartment for extra storage. Most people refer to this area as a frunk, a trunk in the front.
