Cybertruck vs Silverado in the ultimate towing competition
The Tesla Cybertruck and Chevy Silverado are two incredibly powerful EV pickup trucks.
Both have impressive range and top-of-the-line features.

YouTuber Truck King had each of them tow Airstream trailers that weighed 7600 lbs, but as they were empty, the weight was actually around 600lbs – which is still significant.
The Foundation series Tesla Cybertruck and the Habanero Orange Chevy Silverado EV RST were both driven along the same 93-mile loop to make things fair.
But there was one winner when it came to energy.
The Chevy managed 1.9km/kWh, whereas the Cybertruck managed a bit more at 2,03km/kWh, meaning it was 6.84 percent more efficient.
“The Tesla was more efficient, but not by a whole lot,” the YouTuber explained.
But after taking different elements into account and even measuring the turning radius, there was one top dog.
Ultimately, the Chevy Silverado came out on top, with the YouTuber explaining that: “I do think it’s just a better, well-rounded product”.
He also noted that the frunk was bigger and the bed was more usable, too.
So, even though the Cybertruck was efficient, the Chevy was crowned the winner.

The Cybertruck has been pushed to its limits
The Tesla Cybertruck is constantly being tested on its capability and range.
For example, one gearhead tested it by putting the Tesla Cybertruck and a semi truck in a tug of war – and the outcome took a surprisingly long time.
Meanwhile, this guy used his Cybertruck to power a whole tiny house.
