The Chevrolet Silverado EV is getting its own version of the CrabWalk mode already available on its GMC Sierra EV sibling, Chevy confirmed Friday.

Chevy’s version is called Sidewinder, not CrabWalk, but it provides essentially the same functionality. It utilizes the Silverado EV’s rear-wheel steering to turn all four wheels in the same direction, allowing for diagonal driving at speeds up to 20 mph.

Drivers can select Sidewinder mode by going to the Rear Steering page under the Controls menu in the infotainment display. Graphics on the display, as well as a confirmation message in the instrument cluster, appear when the mode is activated.

Sidewinder mode is standard on the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST and will be added to 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition models via an over-the-air update. That update will be pushed to both leftover 2024 models still on dealer lots and trucks already in customer hands, Chevy confirmed.

2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV

The CrabWalk-branded version of this feature first appeared on the GMC Hummer EV, and was standard on the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1. That was the main difference between the Edition 1 and the Silverado EV RST First Edition—the low-volume launch versions of each truck. The same feature will also be available on the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ SUV, branded as Cadillac Arrival Mode.

Other changes to the Silverado EV for 2025 include range increases to 460 miles for the RST grade and 492 miles for the base WT model, with the larger Max Range pack, plus a new LT grade slotting in between those models.
