If possible get in line for it just incase!!

It’s a good bet it will be very pricey though.

And maybe it won’t have the avalanche look

It'll be interesting to see how similar or different it is to the Silverado and Hummer.

I expect it will be similarly sized to the Silverado and include the sloped panel at the rear of the cab. But completely different sheet metal.

Should be the same truck underneath - Ultium/Ultifi with similar components and layout (Ultium battery comes in different configurations so these two will probably the same one), difference will be all the visible bits and features. GMC generally are basically upscale Chevy’s, and with BEV’s I expect they’ll push this ‘under the skin’ similiarity even further (e.g ICE GMC engines were different from Chevy but don’t expect anything like that here).

For me the only interesting question is what, if anything, is the killer feature? On the Silverado you might say it’s the midgate and rear steer. Pretty high bar, what could this truck do in addition to that? Or will it mainly be cosmetic interior?

Edit: yeah looked at some pages comparing the two ICE versions, looks like historically it was basically cosmetic.

Negative, Ghost Rider.

Grill, badging, interior trim, BAM! GMC

 

[nebula1701]

interior and exterior styling for GMC and Chevy have diverged quite a bit between the two brands now not as simple as changing trim.

Tempting as that offer is, I just cannot see myself on a cross country road trip in an EV just yet.

I just cannot see myself on a cross country road trip in an EV just yet.

I would consider it. I live in Alaska and will consider making the trip when these trucks are ready. I have a Silverado reservation, currently in GA.

Although I recently drove the Alaska Highway, and there are stretches where it gets questionable whether even a big ICE truck can make it to the next fuel stop -- in northern BC and the Yukon. My range was about 400 miles with a big diesel truck. EV infrastructure is definitely not there yet, but planned.

Welcome to the forum @Sbutler. Considering that mark ups have easily gone over $10,000, I know there will be many folks taking them up on that offer.

Welcome @Sbutler! That's quite the offer depending on where you live. I'm curious to see how many people will take them up on this.

 

[aldaran]

I'm sure it will look different since the Sierra and Silverado are quite different and with the Sierra being the luxury brand I wonder how much the Denali will cost versus the RST 1st Edition. More thank 105k? I guess we will find out tomorrow.

 

[nebula1701]

a small picture of the vehicle has already leaked btw.

 

[Holeydonut]

Man this truck looks so much better than the Avalanche EV... But it won't be out until 2024

Yeah, might have to wait on a mid-trim of the Sierra now. Ugh, 2025, here we come.
