I love the front but hate the fender flares with a passion.

Probably the camera angle, looks kind of tall and narrow.

I like the lights on the tops of the wheel arches.

I think the wheel arch lights are the new GMC cue for its EV trucks. And somewhat confirms that the GM Design Studio sketch is a GMC Canyon EV.

They are cool, just like everyone else I'm like a "raccoon seeing a shiny trinket" with lighting!

GMC has had them on their HD trucks for years now.

Wow, it looks good. Even the real world pics of the Silverado looks better but the GMCs don’t disappoint.

 

[BORG]

By far the best looking version of the Ultium trucks, really don't care for the Hummer or Silverado. If you can't find an EV truck you like from GM, you're out of of luck in general.

Lookin' pretty swanky.

 

[ChrisNJ]

Agree it looks good. But to me, it's just a SUV with an open bed. It's pretty apparent and proven that EV pickups can't do towing/hauling well at all.

To be fair that's all most people need.

And really, what more could it be without a Frame? Same problem with a Ridgeline.

It's a pretty good looking truck. It does follow the tall hood thing that the GM trucks/SUVs seem to have, but looks pretty good.

a ridgeline can haul 1000-1500lbs and go approx. 300 miles doing so, 400 mile range empty.
Do we know what this trucks payload and empty/loaded range is?
And then when the 'tank' is empty the ridgeline keeps going in 5 min., EV truck with a mega battery recharge time?

I believe the SIlverado EV payload is about 1250, which is down about 600 lbs (Model dependant) from the current IC trucks. More telling is; the ridgeline is 1510-1580 -- MORE than the full-size SIvlerado EV.

I guess we can just call these EV trucks 'city' trucks, just like the EV 'city' cars. They just aren't going to work in rural america, and certainly not for work which is what most trucks do.

The majority of trucks sold these days are pavement princesses so this will be fine for many.

If we only had actual evidence on that claim.

What? the pavement princesses thing or to do real work in rural America thing? From what I observe in a rural and city setting here locally the above two posts would pretty much sum in up quite well lol .

I just looked thru my phone. Of the 17 people I know who own pickups, 15 use them regularly as pickups (hauling stuff regularly). Add me and make it 16 users, 2 posers. And I'm not located in a 'farm belt'.
