Thanks to the awesome teams at Complete Trailers ( completetrailers.com/ ), Brighton Ford Co (brightonfordco.com/ ), and Gen-Y Hitch ( genyhitch.com/ ) for their help in making this video possible!
( www.allTFL.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our TFLstudios content, from news to videos and our podcasts! We're back with another gas vs. electric truck test! This time, Andre and Kase see just how capable the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV is as a tow rig against an extremely popular gas-powered truck: the Ford F-150 with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The results are far more surprising than you might think!

SPOILER ALERT : EV gets 50% of it's projected range towing 6500 pounds.

Great comparison video! How long does it take to charge the Silverado from near empty with the different level charging stations?

I haven't watched one of your videos in quite a while, but I'm glad y'all are still doing good real world testing on new vehicles and giving EVs an honest review. It definitely has its downsides, especially for towing, but your no-nonsense review really helps to highlight both its pros and cons.

Would be good to see a business use case total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis for the Silverado EV vs Silverado gas WT. For a construction business that tows trailers for equipment or materials, for instance.

Awesome video TFL, thanks for making this.

That drive is fairly flat-ish, but the winds crossing those grasslands can be absolutely brutal. I did that tow in August with my 2024 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.6L gas and 10 speed and got like 6.5 MPG going 70 MPH with my travel trailer, which is similar in width and weight to these, but taller.

That was a great video. Thank you for doing this new test with this new rig. I can't wait to see if the cybertruck can come anywhere close.

I like the real world stuff you guys put out. Access to charging stations, convenience, shutting off the AC to increase range, etc. Good job.

Good video guys, and it's impressive how far EVs have come in terms of battery size and charge speed. But I'd still choose a diesel for long distance towning.

Thanks for testing.

Wow! What a well produced video. I was thinking this is just like watching any other automobile magazine or specialty show out there. Great filming, great commentary, and awesome music where it really helps. And fantastic editing to polish it up. Nicely done TFL team!

Thanks for video. I understand going back to ranch to save money on charging. But it would have been nice to do a time comparison on how long it takes to charge to 100% vs filling up gas.

F-150 Lighting Owner just sold it after 1 1/2 years of ownership. We have free electricity and we put 7600 miles not spending a dime till I sold it last week. We sold it for two reasons, Winter Loss, full charge was always 240+ miles, and 30f or colder turns to 170 on average. We have a property over 1 hour away we can make that easy in the summer towing 3000lbs on one charge. It's impossible in the winter as the only charger is 60 miles in the opposite direction of the stop. If you want heat it pulls roughly 5.1kw as much as 3-ton hvac, ac is 3.2kw. To get real-world testing both would need to be used during testing. We loved the truck it was so much fun to drive but the range plus winter made it a hard decision to keep.

Great job guys as always, love the road tests comparing the newest offerings in the truck market. One thing worth noting here: regardless of the vehicle platform, when you use these fast charging stations on any EV vehicle, you are putting a tremendous strain on the battery pack to receive such a high current of electricity, and that strain comes in the form of heat.
Over time, such repeated use of these fast chargers will drastically shorten the life and usable life cycles of the battery pack.
Further research and investigative work needs to be done to more clearly show what the expected drop in percentage of battery life is likely to occur.

Great result! I have the same issue towing my boat behind my Bolt EV; I recently had to disconnect the boat, park it in a spot nearby, and then move the car into the EV charging spot. There were chargers nearby that would accommodate a car and a trailer, but unfortunately they were down at the time.

Fascinating! My neighbor has a Lightning which he absolutely loves. We need to hook my enclosed trailer to it and do some experimenting before it starts getting cold 🥶

It would be really interesting for you to get a quote to replace the motor and tranny on the f150 and then a quote to replace the battery and 4 drive motors on the gm. The average person will have to finance a truck over 84 months and would also be interesting to see the payment cost, taxes, energy cost and insurance cost. Do you think the 475 mile range on the Gm would still hold true after 2 years of use? Thank you

Great video! How long would it have taken to fully charge the Silverado at that high speed charger?

Excellent update.

This is what people were expecting from the F-150 lightning. GM have done it. I tow a lot and i can tell you, 230 miles, going mostly 70mph, with a 8.5 feet wide long ass boxed trailer, is VERY impressive. For a 1st generation electric pick-up, it's promising great stuff for the future.
