Hummer EV Pickup

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a full-size electric truck occupying a segment largely of its own making — a luxury-performance off-roader that prioritizes spectacle and capability over efficiency or practicality. Reviewers at MotorTrend and Car and Driver consistently cite its CrabWalk diagonal-drive feature and Extract Mode air suspension as genuinely useful off-road tools rather than gimmicks. At nearly $100,000 to start, it competes more with the Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck than traditional truck buyers, and its 9,000-plus-pound curb weight shapes almost every aspect of the ownership experience.

3X tri-motor produces 830 hp and reaches 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds, a legitimate performance benchmark that reviewers describe as viscerally shocking for a vehicle this size

CrabWalk four-wheel steering allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction at low speeds, enabling diagonal movement that provides genuine off-road and tight-space maneuvering advantages

Extract Mode raises the air suspension up to 6 inches for up to 15.9 inches of ground clearance, a measurable off-road asset confirmed by Edmunds and MotorTrend in trail testing

381-mile EPA range on the 3X trim is among the longest of any electric truck currently on sale, reducing range anxiety on long-haul trips

Removable Infinity Roof sky panels and an open-air driving experience reviewers note as a distinctive feature absent from most truck competitors

Curb weight exceeding 9,000 pounds results in handling reviewers consistently describe as ponderous on-road, with braking distances and body motions that feel mismatched to the performance numbers

Efficiency is poor even by large-truck standards, with real-world consumption figures frequently reported above 50 kWh per 100 miles in mixed driving, significantly worse than the Rivian R1T

Starting price of $98,845 for the 2X and $106,945 for the 3X places it well above most competitors, and several reviewers note the interior materials and fit-and-finish do not fully reflect that price point

DC fast-charging is capped at 350 kW on paper but real-world sessions reported by InsideEVs and owners fall short of that peak consistently, and the large battery means session times remain lengthy

The Rivian R1T is a battery-electric pickup truck that has consistently impressed reviewers as a genuine work-and-recreation vehicle rather than a lifestyle prop. Launched in 2021 as one of the first purpose-built electric trucks to reach consumers, it competes with the Ford F-150 Lightning and Tesla Cybertruck. Critics frequently single out its purpose-designed adventure hardware and its composed, car-like ride quality as traits that set it apart. The broad powertrain lineup, ranging from 270 miles of range up to 1,025 horsepower in Quad Max trim, gives buyers meaningful choices across capability and price.

Unique storage solutions — the frunk, gear tunnel between cab and bed, and lockable under-bed compartments — are consistently praised by reviewers as genuinely practical for outdoor and worksite use

Quad-Motor AWD and Tri-Motor AWD trims deliver 0–60 times of 2.5s and 2.9s respectively, among the quickest figures available in any production truck

Dual Max trim achieves 420 miles of EPA-rated range, substantially higher than most EV truck competitors and enough to reduce range anxiety on long hauls

Ride and handling balance is repeatedly cited by MotorTrend and Car and Driver as unusually composed for a truck, with adaptive air suspension that handles both off-road terrain and highway cruising capably

Build quality and interior materials have been rated above average for the segment, with a clean, intuitive 15.6-inch touchscreen interface that reviewers find less distracting than some rivals

Entry price of $71,700 for the Dual Standard trim with only 270 miles of range draws criticism as expensive relative to comparably ranged ICE trucks and the Ford F-150 Lightning

Rivian's proprietary charging network is smaller than Tesla's Supercharger network, and third-party DC fast-charging speeds top out around 200 kW, meaning longer stops than some competitors on road trips

The Tri Max trim trades range for power, dropping to 371 miles despite a $99,900 price tag — buyers seeking both maximum range and performance must choose carefully between configurations

Over-the-air software updates and early service center availability have drawn mixed owner feedback, with some buyers reporting delays in warranty repairs due to limited service network density outside major metro areas
