Video Summary
Here's a summary of the electric car review video:Ionna, a North American charging network, sponsored the video. The 2026 Silverado EV RST is no longer available. The Trail Boss, LT, and Work Truck are available trims. The Trail Boss trim is now the main trim to get. An in-depth build quality review is available on the Out of Spec Detailing Channel, highlighting a broken front badge, which is full of water and junk.
The RST was the entry-level first edition Silverado EV. RST with nearly 100 grand was expensive, and it rode rough on 24-inch wheels with air suspension. The air suspension's adjustability was counterintuitive, making the ride clunky. The air suspension is now gone, and the 24-inch wheels are no longer in the newer models.
Highway rides are incredible. The air suspension compensated when max payload was exceeded to prevent slanting backwards. The air suspension is also a failure point to be concerned about.
Standard, extended, and max are available battery sizes. Standard range is smaller than extended. If you want the Trail Boss and have access to a fast charger, the extended range trim is the choice. The work truck sells well.
Four-wheel steering is available. They note the challenge in having the map in the main display while on super cruise.
The vehicle’s peak charging is 350 kW. One amp on-board charger is standard.
The vehicle reviewed was the Max Pack version.
Wind noise was apparent. The infotainment was snappy. No Apple Carplay integration was available. The vehicle does offer android auto. There is a nice shelf for passengers to place a phone.
The review team also mentions that the Kicker sound system in the tailgate of this trim isn't great, and a portable Bluetooth speaker for $40 sounds better.
The team notes that most of their team has a more natural inclination to drive gas automobiles. This Trail Boss is an excellent vehicle to transition to an electric vehicle.
The reviewer notes the rear window camera wasn't clear in the demonstration they were viewing.
The reviewer is confident he will enjoy the truck in his upcoming drives.
