DRIVING THE 2024 HUMMER EV IN THE DESERT - OFF ROAD IN AN ELECTRIC TRUCK

EV Channels Review

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, equipped with the Extreme Off Road Package, proves its mettle in the challenging terrain of Moab, Utah. The reviewer highlights its exceptional off-road capabilities, particularly praising the 830 horsepower, three-motor (two rear, one front) AWD system, and the transformative effect of the 10-degree rear-wheel steering, enabling impressive maneuverability and a tight turning radius. The vehicle's 15.9 inches of ground clearance, 13 inches of suspension travel, and underbody skid plates are noted as crucial for tackling obstacles. While the silent operation and one-pedal driving in terrain mode are appreciated for smooth control, the reviewer points out the potential for 'range anxiety' in remote off-road scenarios due to the high energy consumption. Despite its nearly 10,000 lb weight, the Hummer EV SUV is lauded for its ability to crawl rocks and navigate steep ascents and descents with surprising ease, largely thanks to its advanced programming and simulated locking differentials. The reviewer concludes that the Hummer EV is far more than a 'mall crawler,' capable of genuine off-road performance.
