Introduction

With the 2022 GMC Hummer EV, General Motors plants a huge flag atop Supertruck Mountain. With up to 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque, accommodating up to 37-inch all-terrain tires, and able to accelerate to 60 mph in three seconds, the GMC Hummer EV is now the performance pickup to beat.

“We had one goal for Hummer EV: Build the most capable factory truck – ever,” said Al Oppenheiser, GMC Hummer EV chief engineer, in a statement to the media. “It’s an absolute off-road beast with a unique e4WD drive system that provides maneuverability unlike anything GM has ever offered before.”

GMC is debuting the 2022 Hummer EV in Edition 1 specification, priced from $112,595. In years to come, according to Automotive News, more affordable versions of the truck will arrive:

• Hummer EV 2 arrives in spring of 2024, with a target price of $79,995
• Hummer EV 2X debuts in spring of 2023, with a window sticker of $89,995 
• Hummer EV 3X on sale in fall of 2022, dipping below the six-figure mark with a starting price of $99,995

An SUV version of the Hummer EV is also rumored, which makes perfect sense.
