How's the muscle of Work Truck Silverado EV?

[LeagueOfExtraOrdinaryGent]

Just saw some crazy numbers for the Work Truck 724 km on a charge! That blows past GM's estimates for the higher trims. While the WT might not have the insane horsepower of the RST, 510 hp and 615 lb-ft of torque is still nothing to scoff at. Sure, the range might suffer when towing, but that's the same for any truck, electric or gas-guzzler.

Anyone else think WT will be able to REALLY pull off haul 8,000 pounds in real world?

Is this really legit? There's only one way to find out but to test it in actual world condition.

This is good for those who use their trucks to tow things. Let's just hope this is true.

The Work Truck’s range and torque are impressive, I believe it should handle the 8,000-pound haul well, though towing impacts range.

It's pretty cool to see so many awesome EV trucks coming out now. I wonder how this one will stack up against the Ford Lightning and the Rivian. What do you think?

Most people don't need a car that can drive forever, but for truck people, towing is a big deal.

The Lightning only goes like 230 miles, but when you hook up a trailer, it drops way down to 120. That's not great.

They should've given it a much bigger battery, like 450 miles, or at least that 320-mile option
