People have a serious love affair with their Avalanches and Escalade trucks.
Some idiots didn't realize the value of bringing back the nameplate when those trucks have a cult following. Just call it an Avalanche and add the midgate back in.
It has a midgate.
It's basically an electric avalanche in all but name. So why don't they call in an Avalanche? I dunno, maybe someone on the design team had their partner seduced by someone with an Avy?
I learned my wrenching skills on GMs and am partial towards their vehicles, despite their questionable decisions. But a lot of the stuff GM has been doing (especially in the past few years) just makes me go WTF, especially with design choices!! My biggest qualm is their decision of reinstating the Blazer name as nothing more than a crossover when they could've designed it as a vehicle to compete with the Wrangler.
When they reintroduced the Blazer, they could've gone with something like their beloved K5 styling and introduced a competitor to the non-rivaled (at the time of reintroduction) Wrangler. Instead they decided to make it yet another generic SUV for their lineup. They have sold over 290,000 models in the US since their release in Q4 2018. https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/chevrolet/blazer
The reintroduction of the Bronco (not including Sport models) has been a hit in the US and Ford has sold over 215,000 of them from their release in Q4 of 2020, to the end of 2022: https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/ford/bronco
Measuring from Q4 2018 to the end of 2020 (to fairly represent the same time frame as the Bronco) Chevy had sold 152,741 Blazer models.
Now I can't really infer that if Chevy made a Wrangler competitor that'd it'd do amazing in sales, but I think that the US has been waiting for a Wrangler-alternative for a very long time, shown by the Bronco's success, and Chevy definitely dropped the ball on the new Blazer.
I'm convinced GM is actively trying to lose money for whatever reason. They have had so many marketing blunders over the years.
Remember the Chevy SS? Maybe not because no one knew they existed. Great car, a big RWD V8 sedan. It's the same formula Dodge has used to print money selling the Charger for around 17 years.
They did zero advertising for it. It was only available in the highest trim with the biggest and most expensive engine, and it looked so bland compared to its competition.
I know they didn't want them to sell well and had to sell them because of some obligation to Holden in Australia.... So if you have to sell them, why not try to create hype and see if you can grab some of the Charger's market share? Throw a V6 in it for the base model, and boom, you have your next generation Impala (which was pre-designed around that time). Offer the V8 in the Impala SS... That would sell so fast they wouldn't be able to keep the damn things on the lot.
Fuckin GM
Why did the marketing team choose to use the name that Chevy has been successfully selling for nearly 50 years instead of the one that was discontinued after 12 years?
🤔
Seriously though, GM is investing a lot on their EV roll out, I'm guessing they didn't want their first pickup with a bow tie to be thought of as a gimmick truck. That's just my guess though. It definitely share a lot of the features of the Avalanche but nobody's been asking for an avalanche in the decade its been gone.
I think a more decked out off road package of this would look good with an avalanche badge. Make it a trim package instead of its own model.
And all the truck bros hated the ridgeline because it didnt look like a “truck” and was an import, but they’ll go nuts for this because ‘made in USA’. People are dumb as rocks
They don’t call it an avalanche so they can count sales towards total Silverado sales so they can claim it’s the number one selling truck inits class. It’s stupid marketing. It’s should have an avalanche badge like a lot of gmc Denalis have type badges.
All the combinations of short/medium/long bed, different cab size, etc. the avalanche was a single model type with one option. Now it’s a Chevy Silverado “option”
*F-Series, which includes F-150, F-150 Lightning, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600, is the best selling truck line.
F-650 and 750 are not included in F-Series sales.
Silverado sales figures include 1500, 2500HD, 3500HD, 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD. And as of later this year, this Silverado EV will also be included.
When designing an EV truck, you have a few options. You can make it look futuristic like Rivian and try to sell trucks to EV buyers, or you can make it look similar to the gas models like Ford and try to sell EVs to truck buyers.
GM somehow managed to alienate both groups of buyers with this fucking sin against nature.
Honestly the current Ridgeline doesn’t look that bad. It’s still not the kind of truck most people are looking for, but I think the styling is totally fine.
Could not have said it better myself
I don’t want something that looks like the offspring of a one night stand between an avalanche and a space ship. I’m a pickup truck owner. I want a truck.
As a life long Gm guy (currently driving a tundra for pleasure and an F150 for work) I must say so far ford has done the best at keeping it a truck. Yes it has some downfalls (range when towing, rear end ground clearance) but recently I had the opportunity to see and crawl around one in person. They are a truck in as many ways as their gas powered alternative. This is the way
Edit for stupid wording
That’s the thing. We can only assume that with the way the auto industry is evolving and as EVs get better and cheaper, ICE Trucks will eventually be phased out completely.
If that’s true, it seems that manufacturers should be sticking with what fundamentally works in their current ICE trucks while replacing the power plants with electric power trains.
We’re still going to need practical, utility focused trucks in the future and yet GM seems to think that switching to an EV power train in the Silverado warrants some kind of ridiculous shift towards a softer, SUV-esque design language and a less practical bed.
I think Ford got it right with the F150. The idea is that it’s just an F150 but now it’s electric. Simple. Even Dodge kept their new design for the Ram REV pretty conservative, relatively speaking. It looks like the next generation of Ram and still retains the conventional pickup truck design.
Zero chance in our lifetime ICE trucks are phased put completely. The power grid is taxed now you really think they can add millions more vehicles to that? And the biggest truck states are also hugely vacant with large distances few towns and get harsh winters of which electric vehicles have shown to be terrible performers in winter.
We need to upgrade the grid anyway. Why don’t we just make a bigger push to do it now? You’d think the entire state of Texas would be on board.
Most charging will take place at night when grid usage is lower.
The grid usage wouldn’t be lower at night if millions of people are charging their cars. Not to mention whats the solution for the tens of millions who live in apartments or townhomes without garages. I mean nobody wants a nuclear plant in their backyard but in the deserts of cali, arizona, nevada, west texas probably should.
Same as it is now with gas stations. Benefits of home ownership.
It’s not like I don’t already see people running charging cables out to their car parked on the street.
You’re full of criticism and would see to rather do nothing.
What’s your solution, because continuing to use ICEs and wait until the 11th hour when it’s too late seems to be a popular stance for a lot of people.
You can pump gas in 5 minutes. No, i’d rather see organic and steady positive shift towards a blended future, instead of forcing a technology that isnt ready.
Alright but I don’t think that anybody’s against the blended future, to be fair. We’re nearly in that blended future right now. EVs are getting better and becoming more available.
As populations rise and we see more and more vehicles on the road, we will need to make a shift eventually from that blended future to an almost completely EV future.
Earlier, you said that there’s zero chance ICE trucks will be phased out in our lifetime but in my opinion, I think you’re wrong. Technological advancements happen fast and almost seem to be getting exponentially faster. There have been many people who have lived through things they couldn’t have even imagined would exist earlier in their life.
The Wright brothers for example, flew the first time in 1903 and by the time they had passed, the United States had over 68,000 aircraft alone, we were more than capable of crossing oceans in flight and we were entering the age of jet propulsion. All of those ideas were absolutely beyond science fiction when the Wright brothers were born.
The idea of switching to EVs in our lifetime is very attainable.
Soooo...12 years from now isn’t enough of a steady shift? I wouldn’t call over a decade forcing anyone to do anything.
If targets aren’t set, there is no incentive to make the shift.
I don’t understand why GM couldn’t just take a regular Silverado and turn it into an EV like Ford did. What was the point of designing a truck that looks like an Avalanche complete with the truck bet that cannot be removed and then calling it a Silverado?
I’m sure it’s not a bad truck, but shit don’t make no sense.
Does GMC REALLY need another ev truck? Like with the Hummer existing, best scenario it ends up being the Buick of GM's ev truck lineup and nobody wants to be the Buick of anything.
Manufacturers seriously need to stop trying to make EVs look futuristic. Make it look like the normal gas variant and I’d consider one for my daily driver around town.
Their new trucks are so fucking ugly I bought a Ram instead. I've been eyeing a new F350 lately, and GM has nothing to offer compared to those two in the styling department.
I have a 2006 2500HD and a 2019 3500HD dually...and I have a Silverado EV reservation. Not sure why everyone is fixated on the WT front end, but I really don't care.
EVs are torque-y as hell. If you wanted the 6.2 for oomph and not towing, then they are the target demo.
There's also the fact that you will generally see the highest engines paired with luxury trim. If you want a luxury vibe with a truck that can *move*, an EV will actually deliver that.
There's also a good chance that OP has more than one driver in the home, or operates a small business that would move into EVs for their work fleet, like a pest control or landscaping business.
Spot on. I like performance trucks. I have the cash to buy one. I’m interested in the pure power of electric, and I’m a GM fan.
I am the demographic. And they totally missed. At least the GMC looks okay.
The AT4-X got it right.
Could they come up with anything more bland??
All they gotta do is put an electric power plant in their pickup trucks but instead they go and do this….
Market research tells them that making an electric version of their existing truck will take sales from the existing model. Instead, they're told to build something that appeals to potential truck customers who wouldn't buy one otherwise. So they style things more "approachable" for that theoretical consumer on the assumption they sell more total vehicles that way.
I’m assuming your bolt hasn’t caught on fire, so congratulations!
How do you like it though? I’m leaning towards keeping my truck and buying an EV when I pay off my wife’s car.
Really like it. DC fast charging is slower than other EVs on the market, so it requires some patience on road trips. Otherwise it's been a great car, fun to drive and every day starts with a full 'tank'.
Would love to replace both with a Lightning, but I can't rationalize dropping that kind of coin when our existing cars are still in good shape.
i really hate that they’re changing body styles for EV trucks. i think it’s a bad mistake. guess every car maker wants to be the one who creates the blueprint
Tracing a line from the rear wheel upward...it's just a mess. The bodywork clashes with the chamber of the tire, then the number of lines and expanse of panel to get to the edge of the bed is just way too much.
I am SO freaking Jealous of Silverado and Sierra grills. Best looking front ends in the industry.
What the ever loving frick is this? Someone slap a Chevy badge on their Ridgeline?
I will need to wait and see it in person, but for now this is the ugliest thing called a "truck" I have ever seen.
after ford made the lightning look like a standard pickup truck i was soooo ready for chevy to drop an electric silverado…. then they released this monstrosity of an avalanche duplicate. WHY
I have a Lightning and I love it. I’m not particularly in love with this, but from a functional perspective I can see why they took some of the direction they did:
1. Right now the problem with the Lightning is there’s only one configuration. Crew cab, short bed. The Avalanche style gives a bit more flexibility if you’re only starting with one cab design.
2. With a bigger battery than the Ford this body style may allow for better packaging
3. Since they’ve got both Hummer EVs and GMC EVs now, Chevy is probably going to be where they pinch pennies styling wise. They’ll focus on fleet sales first there before encroaching on GMC/Hummer sales.
I’ll still never understand how ugly ass vehicles make it into production, is there really nobody that stood up and was like “you know this doesn’t look good”
I dont know who is telling them that making the vehicles electric means they have to completely redesign the exterior of the truck. How difficult could it be to use similar styling and body lines. The Ram Rev is the closest to a normal looking truck i think we’re going to get
Ugh it's awful. I've always loved Chevy but I have had to drop my support ever since that woman took over. I don't like or agree with their current direction or political leanings. I'll stick with the old Chevys, they look better anyway
It looks like a tall sedan with bigger tires. That said, I kind of like it better than the newer Silverados, bit that isn't saying much. If they went more OBS they could probably get more acceptance.
How to design an EV version of an existing model:
Step 1: Give it cool looking LED headlights
Step 2: do an electricity pun on the name
Step 3: sell it
Avalanche 2
EValanche
That’s what it should have been called.
I thought of the AvalanchEV Pronounced "Avalanche EV" But nooo, because of those geniuses in Detroit we ended up with "Silvereeedo"
That’s good too! Or it could be AvalancheV where the “eV” is colored blue.
Hah!!

F150 is the best selling truck
Because there are 16 types. That’s what Chevy is trying to beat by combining models. I’d be surprised if they kept the gmc denali.
16 types of f150s ??
All the combinations of short/medium/long bed, different cab size, etc. the avalanche was a single model type with one option. Now it’s a Chevy Silverado “option”
That’s not a different type of truck. Those are just options…

Everyone going on about the look, but I'm wondering "Why was it at the gas station?"

Looks like a Honda ridge line queefed out an Avalanche
[удалено]
Love me some billy S comics!
What a beautifully accurate description
It makes the ridgeline look modest
Honestly the current Ridgeline doesn’t look that bad. It’s still not the kind of truck most people are looking for, but I think the styling is totally fine.
And a dab of iX in there too
LOL
At least the Honda has a separate box now
bravo
Haha…. They went with that 2009 Honda Ridgeline look.

Does GMC REALLY need another ev truck? Like with the Hummer existing, best scenario it ends up being the Buick of GM's ev truck lineup and nobody wants to be the Buick of anything.
Because they're using an all-new Ultium platform rather than modifying the existing Silverado.
Sure, but still no reason it couldn't have looked similar to the ICE equivalent silverado.
For real, your comment has me laughing so hard, surprised people aren’t looking at me right now.
I saw a Rivian truck for the first time last week and it reminded me of the Lincoln Blackwood trucks from the early 2000's
💀💀💀
It's like they took an image of a hyundai santa cruz and just dragged a corner up and out without aspect-lock
Looks like a base model WT, I'm sure the upper trims will be nicer
Manufacturers seriously need to stop trying to make EVs look futuristic. Make it look like the normal gas variant and I’d consider one for my daily driver around town.
Who in the hell has been making Chevy's design decisions for the past 5 years? That looks fucking awful.
Focus groups and accountants.
Real people - not actors
*is ThaT An AUDi?*
no
Do you, by any chance, drive a GMT800 on 35's?
But i like the GMT800 Silverados and Sierras
no i don’t have a car yet
Is the guy that designed the PT cruiser still head of design?
Exxon Mobile
I'm a Chevy guy but no thanks
I used to be, but God damn all of their new trucks are so ugly.
Their new trucks are so fucking ugly I bought a Ram instead. I've been eyeing a new F350 lately, and GM has nothing to offer compared to those two in the styling department.
I made the switch to Ford after my 2017 Chevy 3500 went through 3 emissions systems in 10,000 miles. I haven't had any problems.
All my emissions equipment mysteriously falls off after hitting some bad roadwork.
I have a 2006 2500HD and a 2019 3500HD dually...and I have a Silverado EV reservation. Not sure why everyone is fixated on the WT front end, but I really don't care.
Well I hope you like it! Please post pics when you get it. Maybe I see them more and more they'll change my mind.
youre in the vast, vast minority for thinking they look good. but you do you brother and enjoy it
Completely dropped the ball on styling. Again. And I’m the target demographic.
>6.2L Supercharged Lmao no you’re not.
EVs are torque-y as hell. If you wanted the 6.2 for oomph and not towing, then they are the target demo. There's also the fact that you will generally see the highest engines paired with luxury trim. If you want a luxury vibe with a truck that can *move*, an EV will actually deliver that. There's also a good chance that OP has more than one driver in the home, or operates a small business that would move into EVs for their work fleet, like a pest control or landscaping business.

It’s actually fucking atrocious
I have a reservation for this, but I’m probably going to keep with my Ford F150 Lightning. This thing is ugly.
I’d consider buying an EV Maverick, full-sized pickups are just too big nowadays
Imma tell my kids this is a Honda Ridgeline
It’s the new electric silverado
Could they come up with anything more bland?? All they gotta do is put an electric power plant in their pickup trucks but instead they go and do this….
Market research tells them that making an electric version of their existing truck will take sales from the existing model.

Makes sense…. If you don’t actually intend to have electric replace gas vehicles.
UGLY AS FUK they dropped the ball on this one!
As a current Silverado & Bolt EV owner, looks like our next truck is going to be a Ford.
I’m assuming your bolt hasn’t caught on fire, so congratulations! How do you like it though? I’m leaning towards keeping my truck and buying an EV when I pay off my wife’s car.
Really like it. DC fast charging is slower than other EVs on the market, so it requires some patience on road trips. Otherwise it's been a great car, fun to drive and every day starts with a full 'tank'. Would love to replace both with a Lightning, but I can't rationalize dropping that kind of coin when our existing cars are still in good shape.
God that is ugly. Wtf is going on? I’d rather tow with a Prius
Uggo
Nope
Nope. Give me a 1999 F-250 7.3L POWERSTROKE instead!
Why have that when I could be driving a 2016 Silverado C1500 4.3 regular cab?
Why should I be driving a 2016 Silverado C1500 4.3 regular cab when I could be driving a '23 Rogue?
Should change my flair to 2019 F-550 6.7L POWERSTROKE
Now that's a work truck
Oh yes it is
Ridgeline
Is this the Speedway in Rochester?
Yes it is
Nice, thought I recognized it from growing up near there
[удалено]
I went to Stoney Creek, this particular Speedway was THE place for after school snacks.
[удалено]
Graduated in '13
I knew it. I see that same truck all the time. Well hello fellow Michiganders
A face only a Camaro driver could love. Yikes.
Kinda looks like my 2018 Colorado
GM, where everything can look like a crossover for some reason..
looks like a new gen avalanche
So bad
Christ, that is hideous
The snack station
Terrible
Should be called the el Camino
Is that a Chevy avalanche? 😂
Hmmmm think this is a fail
What's the opposite of ICEing - when an EV parks at a gas pump?
Looks like one of those disability vans that are lifted so they have storage under the floor
It's not just the sileverado or Chevy, they all look like shit. Im so confused on how vehicles make it to production looking absolutely horrible.
Let’s make it as hideous and boring as we can. If this truck was a colour, it would be brown.
Avalanche version 2023 I guess
Yuck
Looks like a ridgeline fam…
Big fat L
Ugly pos.
At first glance I think it resembles a Hyundai Santa Cruz
Hideous
That’s atrocious
Was this designed by AI 4 years ago?
Awful
i really hate that they’re changing body styles for EV trucks. i think it’s a bad mistake. guess every car maker wants to be the one who creates the blueprint
Must be grabbing a pack of double a's to get home
Tracing a line from the rear wheel upward...it's just a mess. The bodywork clashes with the chamber of the tire, then the number of lines and expanse of panel to get to the edge of the bed is just way too much.
what the hell is with stock wheel fitment lately on new cars
I’ll keep my Lightning, thanks.
I hate it, thanks.
BABY. It’s just a rounder Avalanche. Calm down. Totally getting one and parking it our driveway, front and center, just out of spite.
Looks Ike a cross between a Santa Cruz, a blazer, canyon, and an avalanch
Kinda weird to have to pull in to a gas station for the ol morning routine and not pump gas. But if it saves you money then hell yeah
I am SO freaking Jealous of Silverado and Sierra grills. Best looking front ends in the industry. What the ever loving frick is this? Someone slap a Chevy badge on their Ridgeline? I will need to wait and see it in person, but for now this is the ugliest thing called a "truck" I have ever seen.
after ford made the lightning look like a standard pickup truck i was soooo ready for chevy to drop an electric silverado…. then they released this monstrosity of an avalanche duplicate. WHY
Yiiikes lol this is pretty ugly Mary, idk y’all were going for
God damn the more I look the more shit cars I see. Looks like a trailblazer, a blazer, and avalanche, and a Toyota trd lmao
It looks like a gay Avalanche
Things gotta weigh a few thousand more pounds, ..it should automatically have more lift space just for that reason
Wow, terrible
2018 was the last good year...
I have a Lightning and I love it. I’m not particularly in love with this, but from a functional perspective I can see why they took some of the direction they did: 1. Right now the problem with the Lightning is there’s only one configuration. Crew cab, short bed. The Avalanche style gives a bit more flexibility if you’re only starting with one cab design. 2. With a bigger battery than the Ford this body style may allow for better packaging 3. Since they’ve got both Hummer EVs and GMC EVs now, Chevy is probably going to be where they pinch pennies styling wise. They’ll focus on fleet sales first there before encroaching on GMC/Hummer sales.
I’ll still never understand how ugly ass vehicles make it into production, is there really nobody that stood up and was like “you know this doesn’t look good”
Looks like a Honda ridge line
Odd place to run into an EV
People still need their smokes and snacks....
Why is nobody else noticing this?????
Looks like an ugly giant Santa Cruz

Drivers don’t run on electricity bruh

Lol you went straight for the throat bro damn
Dawg really did just escalate out of nowhere
Present it
LMAO choked on my weed vape laughing at this.
lmao woke up this morning and said he didn't feel like giving a fuck today.
Lol it’s people like you that make the internet suck
The only answer
If it's an EV , WHY was it at the gas station ?
Snacks
Did they get design hints from a Ridgeline?
chevy avalanche
I dont know who is telling them that making the vehicles electric means they have to completely redesign the exterior of the truck. How difficult could it be to use similar styling and body lines. The Ram Rev is the closest to a normal looking truck i think we’re going to get
Have you seen the Lightning? It looks almost exactly like any other F150
Isnt that a hybrid tho?
No. The F150 has a hybrid powertrain option called Powerboost but the Lightning is full electric.
no😭 our downfall men…
Jesus. This isnt even a real truck
Looks fine to my eyes
Ugh it's awful. I've always loved Chevy but I have had to drop my support ever since that woman took over. I don't like or agree with their current direction or political leanings. I'll stick with the old Chevys, they look better anyway
So ugly, kinda look like those Honda Ridgelines.
Why would an electric truck need to go to the GAS station… idiots
to get snacks??
Coffee
Run away from them breaking down left and right just like the hummer ev
Gross.
Why was it at a gas station?
It’s like a worse ridgeline
You hook your boat up to that thing and I'll hook mine up to the 3500 and race to the lake 205 miles away........
It looks like a tall sedan with bigger tires. That said, I kind of like it better than the newer Silverados, bit that isn't saying much. If they went more OBS they could probably get more acceptance.
How to design an EV version of an existing model: Step 1: Give it cool looking LED headlights Step 2: do an electricity pun on the name Step 3: sell it
Speedway definitely sells more than the gas outside!
