    Kyle at 7:08 "Let's just go for it, let's not make this a super long video." Also Kyle: Publishes 2.5 hour video 😆 Love it
  • @AnshelSag
    I love you guys, but if you're going to do a 2 1/2 hour-long video, could you at least PLEASE use chapters?
  • @j4k3br4k3
    I just did a 500 mile towing trip in my R1T at 60mph. 1.4 mi/kWh, 5500# load with small area, 3 charging stops. 500 miles towing on 1 stop is insane for the silverado.
  • @mattbrew11
    I have ten lightnings as part of my work fleet and they have been flawless. A couple of them are approaching 60k miles. Towing or hauling every day.
  • @Paul-cj1wb
    All these EV truck tests and races makes this the greatest EV truck series to ever be done and recorded to this point in history. And EV trucks should all have their port on the right front to accommodate pull in charging while towing on V3's and other chargers. Even Tesla fails by not placing their own Cybertruck's port there. We know that pull through stalls will take quite a few years to propagate all throughout the country. And of course, all should be 800v with backwards compatibility with 400v chargers. Either by splitting the pack in two, or a proper on-board DC charger that provides at least 200kw charging on them.

    The Chevrolet SilvErado is an absolute game-changing beast. Very Impressed!
  • @Bfranklyn731
    It isn't just a bigger battery in the silverado, it's also fast charging!!
  • @popcornisgood
    Hello from the driver of the transit van you threw shade at after passing at 31:10! 😋 I had just seen your range video and when I saw a bunch of EV trucks towing identical payloads on i-70, I had a feeling it might be you guys. Sure enough! Looking forward to your EV van content someday
  • @Someguy-rf1cu
    Silverado is the real "Beast." What a performance!!
  • @tazeat
    It's not JUST big battery though, it's also the solid 800v charging curve. Trucks NEED 800v and big boy curves.
  • Whenever Kyle sees a car.. "Wow! Look at that! Amazing old car! I am a huge fan of that car! Amazing! So cool! Wow!" ... and ten minutes later the same conversation.. different car... 🤣 We love it! Keep it up Kyle!
  • @Tearitupsports
    I own a Lightning and my son has already declared the cybertruck to be his favorite after watching the first race across America video. I’m preparing myself for another ego beat down.
  • @iMaxPatten
    With working chargers the Silverado EV is unstoppable.
  • @davedubreuil
    33:24 “Imagine if we stopped our test here and called it the Ike… glove or something like that” 😂 😂
  • @Williamxmr
    EV trucks need huge batteries, period.
  • @davidmcottrell
    Love this video. It's awesome to see the real world tests. Also great to see the shout out for Emerald City Rivian Club as well 16:40!
  • @martianwheels
    Funny watching our car go on a road trip without us!
