The Hummer name returned to GM’s lineup officially when it was revealed to the world several months ago as an electric pickup truck to the tune of “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin. In its reveal video, it triggered an earthquake, tore open a big crack in the earth, and broke the sound barrier.
The 2022 GMC Hummer EV isn’t actually capable of doing any of those things, of course, but when General Motors invited me to the company’s Millbrook Proving Grounds in Michigan to be one of the first to drive a prototype version of the truck, I accepted in a hurry. It was time to see if it lived up to all the hype.
Because there is a ton of hype. I’m sure you’ve probably seen all the Hummer EV’s impressive specs online: 1,000 horsepower, more torque than God, and the ability to drive diagonally, to name a few. But as soon as I climbed into this new beast all those things—all of these separate features—added up in ways I didn’t expect.
Because it’s an EV, it’s just different than any other big truck that I’ve been in before. It has a flat floor which makes it feel awfully roomy, and its four-panel glass roof makes the whole interior feel airy, like a greenhouse.
