Pickups are lodged securely in the category of vehicle that some may not picture going electric, and all of us here at West Chevy of Knoxville have carefully studied the stats on how ditching the stops at the pump will be beneficial for the planet. A recent report we saw online from Bloomberg candidly suggested that GM will debut or preview an electrified Chevy pickup truck during the virtual 2021 CES show this month. Usually, an up-close-and-personal event that connects tech professionals with common interests and inventions, it will be held virtually in the name of safety this year.
It is not known whether or not the electrified Chevy truck will be an EV concept or straight plug-in version, but it will certainly bear similarity to the current Silverado 1500. A detailed preview of this incoming model was shown during a recent investor's meeting, and also looked a bit like the official GMC Hummer EV. We are quite well aware that our sworn rival Ford has made noise about an all-electric F-150 that is supposed to arrive in two years and has already begun selling an F-150 Hybrid. Rivian and Tesla also have their own versions expected to hit the market by the end of next year.
While we are waiting on more information about all of the exciting developments in the form of oncoming electric models to develop, the 2021 Chevy Silverado is massively alive and kicking, and available for exciting test drives! Boasting excellent towing capability, powerful engines, and the industry's finest reliability ratings are some of its trademark qualities. 3 large bed choices, integrated bed step and 6-way power tailgate, super-efficient highway diesel, and numerous configuration types make the Silverado a great choice for everything from a hard day's work to a weekend spent off-roading.
Opting for the LTZ trim level provides for you upgrades in the form of an 8.0-inch touchscreen with smartphone compatibility, heated power-adjustable seats, six USB ports, and keyless start and entry. Chevy proudly claims the best cargo volume and bed width, seeing an average of about 10 cubic feet more than the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. The bumper is equipped with a large integrated bed step, the bed itself has 12 fixed tie-downs, and the Safety Package adds front and rear parking sensors and blind-spot monitors to the top-level High Country Trim.
There will soon come a time that offers up a full line of products whose sole power source is derived from a battery, and it is no doubt that the effects on the environment will be positive. We aspire to sell a million EVs by the middle of the coming decade, and the plan to come out with an electric truck shortly will no doubt please all of the hard-working and playing individuals out there who would like to see a sustainable and capable incoming fleet!
