Make it make sense. A silverado Turbomax can tow 12k and the bed can handle cargo up to 2500lbs and it's around 45k and a cybertruck easy 85k. Don't get me wrong some of what I said was opinionated.

I think a more apt comparison might be a fully optioned silverado trubomax, which can range $60-$75k.

AWD CT can haul 7500 lbs, air suspension, tonneau cover, premium sound, 240v out, FSD, etc.

spec for spec though. The majority of trucks sold are the turbomax spec a turbo charged 4 cylinder. About 20% of them go to fleet sales.Higher trims yes Cybertruck has some good options but go see what WHistlin Dixie did to his and you'll understand more of my opinion.

I've seen those videos. I thought the CT held up to the abuse pretty well.

His experiments were fun to watch, but few people treat their vehicles like that, so kind of irrelevant.
