EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country, designed to tackle a bit more than a trip to the golf course.
This is a big red rig – the top of the six trim levels for the Tahoe, at 210.7 inches just under 16 inches shorter than big brother Suburban. The High Country – black moniker on each front fender – rides on 22-inch Bridgestone Alenza rubber wrapped around black 8-spoke wheels.
Inside, really usable three-row seating for six adults, maybe one more in the back row middle. And it now joins many other SUVs with an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and an 17.7-inch touchscreen – plus Wi-Fi and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with solid 10-speaker Bose system.
EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss, an all-electric pickup truck that is slick, fairly compact (for a full-size truck), and full of smart stuff and very good range. Plus, it lives on GM’s Ultium platform, designed for EV specifically, and ours had the Max Range battery..
This is a good-looking pickup that’s also smaller than a gas Silverado – 12 inches less wheelbase, and 7 less in length. It’s aerodynamically sleek, quiet on the highway, and gets a decent-size frunk, tightly-mounted running boards, and a 2-inch factory lift kit for a decent 10 inches of ground clearance.
Inside, a wide set of digital screens with configurable gauges displays in front, and a multi-media navigation/audio/climate control screen that also shows more. It seats five adults just fine, and even has a pop-out rear window and flip-down midgate to haul longer stuff in a 57.3-cu-ft) cargo bed with retractable cover.
It’s a truck – it can tow up to 12,500 pounds of trailer and still keep decent range – GM estimates up to 478 miles on a full charge from a massive 205 kWh battery pack, and we had 450 miles when we got it at 93% charge. Quick too – 5 to 80 percent charge in under 50 minutes on a DC fast charger. Oh yes – it’s got rear-wheel-steer, and it crab walks as you see below- rear wheels turn a bit in tandem with fronts.

EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan has the new 2025 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison to play with on – and off road.
Thanks to a collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), it’s got stronger bumpers, boron-steel skidplates, Multimatic shocks, special wider wheels – and even more off-road specific gear. There’s room for four – and a spare that’s handy, mounted in the bed.
