- Pricing for the RST First Edition dropped $10,000 from Chevy’s first announcement and now starts at $96,395.

The electric-pickup world is about to get bigger, with Chevy confirming pricing and availability for the 2024 Silverado EV RST First Edition. The manufacturer revealed updated pricing, but only for this fully loaded model, which now starts at $96,395. That’s quite the price drop, considering Chevy’s initial figures put the maxed-out pickup at $106,895. We’ll have to wait for pricing figures on future trim levels until closer to their arrival date.
In addition to the more favorable pricing, Chevy also released updated range estimates for the RST, tacking on an additional 40 miles. The RST is rated for 440 miles, losing out only to the midlevel 4WT’s estimated 450 miles of range. The new figure puts the Silverado EV squarely in first place for EV pickup range—on paper at least—compared with the Ford F-150 Lightning, Hummer EV, Rivian R1T, and Tesla Cybertruck.
As befits the cost, the RST First Edition is fitted to the nines, with Chevy declaring the all-wheel-drive pickup with the decked-out interior makes up to 754 horsepower and offers a maximum tow rating of 10,000 pounds. On the other hand, the 4WT we sampled left a strong first impression thanks to its no-nonsense attitude and compliant ride, despite a spartan interior and hefty sticker price.
Rollout for the electric pickup will start with the 4WT Work Truck trim for fleet customers and will be followed by the cheaper 3WT trim offering 393 miles of range. The RST First Edition is slated to follow the Work Truck variants at some point in mid-2024 before the full lineup arrives at an unspecified time in the future.
