HERE'S HOW THE NEW 2023 HUMMER EV COMPARES TO THE FORD F-150 LIGHTNING & RIVIAN R1T OFF-ROAD!

EV Channels Review

The 2023 GMC Hummer EV is presented as a "lifestyle vehicle" rather than a traditional work truck, excelling in off-road capability due to its extreme ground clearance (up to 16 inches with air suspension), three-motor AWD system, front and rear lockers, and revolutionary rear-wheel steering which significantly enhances maneuverability for its massive size. The reviewer highlights the impressive camera system, including an underbody view with a wash function, and the convertible t-top feature as unique selling points. However, the Hummer EV's considerable width and 9,500-pound weight present challenges on tight trails, and its instantaneous torque can lead to jerky throttle response during slow-speed off-roading. The spare tire placement in the bed is noted as a significant drawback, reducing cargo space. Despite its high price point (initially $112,000 for the First Edition), the reviewer finds it a compelling, albeit conspicuous, consumption item, comparing it more to a toy like a G-Wagon than a direct competitor to the Rivian R1T or Ford F-150 Lightning in terms of practicality.
