The Silverado EV and the 2024+ Silverado HD represent two very different directions for the full-size truck market. Here’s a quick overview and community discussion thread.
Silverado EV (2024+)
The Silverado EV RST and WT are fully electric trucks built on the Ultium platform — completely separate from the gas/diesel T1XX platform.
Key specs:
- Range: Up to 450 miles (EPA estimated, RST First Edition)
- Towing: Up to 10,000 lbs (RST)
- Payload: Up to 1,300 lbs
- 0–60: ~4.5 seconds (RST)
- Frunk: 10 cubic feet of additional cargo storage
Charging:
- 800V DC fast charging (up to 350 kW) — adds ~100 miles in ~10 minutes at a DC fast charger
- Home Level 2 charging: ~25 miles of range per hour
First impressions from owners:
- The ride quality is notably quieter than any gas Silverado
- Frunk and mid-gate concept are popular for longer loads
- The V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) capability is a standout feature for power outage backup
Silverado HD (2025+)
The 2025 Silverado HD 2500/3500 received a significant update with:
- New interior matching the 1500’s design language
- Updated Duramax L5P 6.6L diesel (still the most powerful HD diesel from GM)
- Up to 36,000 lbs conventional towing (3500 with proper config)
- Improved tech: Google Built-In, larger displays
