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 Tesla Cybertruck occupies a unique and divisive position in the full-size electric pickup segment, competing against the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T with a polarizing stainless-steel exoskeleton that reviewers consistently describe as unlike anything else on the road. It delivers genuine performance credentials, particularly in Cyberbeast trim, but critics at outlets including Car and Driver and MotorTrend note that its unconventional proportions, stiff ride, and early production quality concerns complicate the ownership case despite the spectacle it generates.

Cyberbeast tri-motor AWD achieves 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds, a figure Car and Driver and MotorTrend both confirmed puts it among the quickest production trucks ever tested

Stainless-steel exoskeleton resists dents and minor dings in ways conventional aluminum or steel truck bodies cannot, a durability trait reviewers have noted favorably for work-oriented buyers

Long Range RWD base trim offers 350 miles of EPA-rated range, the highest of the three configurations, at a $69,990 entry point competitive with comparably capable Lightning and R1T trims

Onboard 11.5 kW AC power export and available 240V outlets make it a practical jobsite tool, a feature InsideEVs highlighted as more capable than many rivals at launch

Dual-motor AWD at $79,990 delivers 600 hp and 0-60 in 4.1 seconds while retaining 325 miles of range, balancing performance and practicality better than the range-compromised Cyberbeast

EPA range drops to 301 miles in the $99,990 Cyberbeast despite its price premium, a regression reviewers including those at Edmunds flagged as a meaningful trade-off for the performance gain

Turning radius is unusually wide due to the truck's size and fixed-geometry rear axle design, creating real-world maneuverability issues in parking lots and urban environments that multiple reviewers called out

Early production units drew criticism for panel fit inconsistencies, sharp stainless-steel edge gaps, and interior trim quality that Car and Driver described as not commensurate with the price

The bed length and overall dimensions, while visually dramatic, result in a frunk and bed geometry that some reviewers found less practically useful than the F-150 Lightning's front trunk or the R1T's gear tunnel
