I don't see in the specs that the truck will look any better

This isn't a competitor for the Lightning or any full size EV pickup truck.

Is there any other full size EV pickup than the lightning? I've test driven the R1T, it's a midsize pickup. Very capable, but I wouldn't call it full size, and it's the only other pickup I can think of on the market currently.

Silverado.

Silverado.

You can buy those already?

If you can find one. I think they sold 18 last quarter.

Low numbers are still numbers! That's cool, I thought I had read they wouldn't be available till mid 24.

Is the interior closer in size to a super cab F150? I need a visual aid

Headroom and legroom are within an inch of the Mach-e, but it is about 4 inches wider if that helps. So much closer to a mid-sized crossover than a truck.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup is definitely "Full Size" in regards to overall size, power, towing. Short box, though. Not sure how many they have shipped yet. GMC website says "Reservations are full." But search inventory shows dealer locations with units purportedly for sale.

LOL, I forget about that monstrosity. While it technically ticks the boxes, I wonder if there's a wholly separate demographic for those. When I worked at a Cadillac dealer several years ago there were "truck people" and there are "hummer people", and none of them liked the H3T.

OK, so GM has a handful of hummers and silverados that have made it into public hands. I admit I was wrong to say there aren't others on the market, but I think we all have to admit, they are rare.

Chevy is releasing the Silverado EV in three phases.

1. The fleet only WT trim, which technically can be purchased now with a fleet account. I don't know how true in practice that is.
2. The top trim RST was supposed to be released around now but it has been pushed back to an unknown date.
3. The regular consumer version was supposed to be released in 2024 but has been pushed back to late 2025.

Effectively, the Silverado EV does not exist in any significant manner.

This article says they shipped over 800 Hummer EVs in 2022, but only like 50 in 2023.:

So with that being said, yes, F150 Lightning is the only real Full Size 1/2 Ton EV Pickup Truck on the market.

This distinction (and Cybertruck and Rivian's literal shortcomings) matters because a Crew cab Full Size 1/2 Ton Pickup is the most popular configuration of vehicle in the U.S. by far. (https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2022-us-vehicle-sales-figures-by-model/)

IMO, Hummer is a different game altogether, that is in the "Supertruck" category, like Raptor R and TRX. Not your standard Crew Cab 1/2 Ton Pickup truck.... and furthermore, as has been shown the sales are so minor that it also does not exist in a meaningful manner.

Man that is a tight interior. Just like Rivian, it's closer to a mid size truck intererior. Full size Crew cab ("Supercrew" in Ford lingo) size trucks are the most popular models sold for a reason. Most people use their trucks as a family vehicle more than a work vehicle.

For me and many the initial deal breaker was that I dont really want my vehicle to "Standout" but now the even bigger deal breaker is the fact that this is not a full size crew cab truck.

Here is where various ones fall in gradient color for a visual comparison.

Only way that bed is 6ft is with the tailgate down. Wow. Just wow.

 

[RickKeen]

Its 6 ft at the bottom. There is an indent at the bottom front wall of the bed. And the top of the cab overhangs the bed some as well.
Probably more like 5 ft at the top of the cab line.
