Curious to know what Silverado EV trim everybody is waiting on. RST and WT versions will be the very first to arrive. Next will be the Trail Boss and after that possibly others we haven't heard of yet, like the LT, LTZ, Custom or High Country.

I have a WT reserved. I expect it to cost me somewhere around 50 to 55,000. I'll be good with that.

When I reserved on 1/05/22 I was not given the option for WT or RST. I will likely go with the RST as I suspect the WT production quantities will be quite limited. The higher trim levels are more profitable for dealers and GM.

It’s nearly two years out and a lot can happen by the time I can actually order…… so who knows?

I want the trailboss myself, if they raise the price I might end up with a WT, has to have midgate.

WT is the only on my radar. Never in a million years would I put $100K on a vehicle, at least not on a daily driver such as a truck. No way. So yeah, WT with as little options as possible and I hope larger capacity battery will be available even for a low-optioned one. Probably not, but one can hope.

And ADM is a definite show stopper for me.

The RST(2024 release) will have several different trim levels. $100k is more than I am willing to spend. My R1T at $76k(with tax credit $68.5k) was a real stretch. No ADM for me either. No car payments either.

I had not heard of the Trailboss before this thread so it may be a consideration.

At the rate inflation is going, a WT is going to cost $100k in 10 years…

Ideally

• LT Trim
• Midgate
• Multifunction tail gate
• Rear steer
• Misc options
  • Power bar (10kW power)
  • Super cruise
  • Towing
  • Bed cab (one of those cool options in my color shown)
  • Bed liner
  • Powered/soft drop tail gate?

Leaving off air suspension and moon roof. This is probably $80k base, but they’ll probably stick me with one of those as an $$option, like the rear steer.

 

[EVTrucking]

I am also not interested in the moon roof, air suspension or rear steer. I am interested in range with some bling snd hopefully there will be a trim like this for less than $80k.

I sure hope GM can get mine finished a little before that.

No car payments either.

Absolutely not. Haven’t had one in almost 15 years.

WT w/ a mid-gate. It would insane for GM to not offer the midgate as a WT option. True work trucks seldom carry big crews and often need to carry long bulky things.

I want WT, in our contry we got tax credit only if it costs less than 65k$CAD, so thats the only one in that range price. (I live in Quebec city)

Welcome @nathan.fournier12! Will the Silverado be your first EV? Are you using it as a work truck or for personal use?

Thanks ! I got a nissan leaf already, will be for my personal use, I got an RV (Scamp 19) it is a small fifthwheel and I hope I will be able to bolt it to the bed ! My local dealer doesnt know if I will be able to ! It weights 2000lbs.

I think the potential issue is being able to bolt anything to the bed of the truck. The battery pack is directly below the bed.

The battery is mostly under the cab. In the profile image below, the battery runs from just behind the front wheel to the back of the rear-door opening. Most of the bed is over the drive unit + some transition structure between the battery floor and drive unit/bed structure. There should be access for dealing with bolt-in bed accessories. Though I suspect that 5th-wheel installations will require the 20K -rated towing

version that they are working on.
