GMC Hummer s Front Trunk Will Be Called ETrunk carbuzz.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from carbuzz.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
It s crazy fast and insanely heavy. That could be a problem.
Earlier this month, we reported the GMC Hummer EV has a hefty curb weight of 9,046 pounds. To put that into perspective, a Ford F-150 Regular Cab 4x4 V6 tips the scale at 4,275 pounds. In the US, vehicles that weigh below 10,000 pounds can be driven with a regular license, but the Hummer s weight is awfully close to that of commercial vehicles which have additional licensing requirements. Also think of it like this: the Hummer s weight is the equivalent of vehicles like F-150s towing around small boats on a daily basis.
GMC didn t just cover the bed and call it a day.
The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV completed the reborn Hummer lineup that began last October with the reveal of the Hummer EV pickup. Buyers already dead set on getting a truck or an SUV probably know which one they want. But there are many potential customers still on the fence. Making a final decision can be difficult but they need to know one critical thing: GMC designers didn t just cover the truck s bed with a roof and go home.
There are several key differences between the two EVs that could make the buying decision easier. Heck, the First Editions already have different power ratings and performance times. Both are impressive machines but the tiny details might matter more.
But is there any truth to them?
General Motors had a very good week. It unveiled the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, of which the $105,000 Edition 1 trims sold out in less than an hour. Days later it announced an all-electric Chevy Silverado is on the way. Following that, GM s stock reached an all-time. America s biggest car company is now worth about $90 billion. There s genuinely a lot to be excited about, especially for an automaker that filed for bankruptcy in 2009. GM s commitment to an all-electric future means an entirely new lineup of EVs is coming, many of which will be built in the US.
