The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV packs genuine capability. With up to 760 max available horsepower and up to 775 lb-ft of max available torque (when equipped with Wide Open Watts in Sports Mode), it launches from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds-impressive for an electric truck.

For towing, the Silverado EV handles up to 12,500 pounds, so you can confidently haul trailers and weekend toys without strain. Its Dual Motor 4WD system delivers nearly instantaneous torque to all four wheels for confident traction in changing conditions.

The combination of electric instant torque and available hands-free towing technology (Super Cruise) makes this truck both powerful and smart. Stop by Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls to experience the Silverado EV's performance firsthand, or call (715) 833-0444 to discuss your specific towing needs.
