The Chevrolet Silverado EV is rated to tow 10,000 lbs. That's less than the 11,000-lb capacity of the Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck, despite the Chevy's focus on towing. Yet when you hitch up an 11,000-lb trailer to the electric trucks in the real world, it's the Chevy that goes the furthest.
In the latest video from JerryRigEverything, Zack hitches his gargantuan electric Humvee to the back of the Silverado. He'd already carried out the same test with the R1T Launch Edition, Cybertruck and Ford F-150 Lightning. And despite also coming with a lower 10,000-lb max tow rating, the Lightning was the reigning champion. The Ford made it 130 miles. The Rivian covered 100 miles. And the Cybertruck made it just 90 miles. Zack notes, however, that the Cybertruck and Rivian did the test in cold temperatures. That can have a serious impact on range—some EVs can lose 30% of their range in the cold.
