This GMC Hummer EV Pickup Conquered These Roads And Trails

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup offers a combination of impressive off-road capability and cutting-edge all-electric propulsion technology, providing customers with fun in the rough, but without the internal combustion. Critically, the Hummer EV’s off-road cred isn’t relegated to the brochure, as indicated by a series of decals stuck to the back window.

As we can see, there are a total of four big decals attached to the rear window on this GMC Hummer EV Pickup, including it has visited Moab, Windrock, Back of the Dragon, and Devils Triangle.

Moab is perhaps the best-known location of the four. Located in Utah, Moab offers 1.8 million acres of public land and almost 1,000 miles of motorized trails, with millions of tourists making the journey to the destination every year. With a variety of off-roading trail difficulty levels on offer, Moab is a surefire spot for both off-roader newbies and experienced off-road drivers.

Then there’s Windrock Park, which is located in Oliver Springs, Tennessee. Windrock is also quite expansive, offering 73,000 acres of land and more than 300 miles of trails, making it a good choice for a diversity of off-roading vehicles, including the GMC Hummer EV.

The other two locations are actually paved roads. For example, the Back of the Dragon, not to be confused with the Tail of the Dragon, is located in Tazewell, Virginia, and boasts 32 miles of switchbacks, hairpins, and more, with more than 300 corners strung together, making it a great place for some spirited driving. Devils Triangle is similar, and is located in Oak Ride Tennessee, offering some twisty two-lane fun for those into that kind of thing.

Although the GMC Hummer EV Pickup isn’t exactly some lithe, lightweight sports car, the ample power on tap should make it interesting, even on pavement. As a reminder, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 boasts 1,000 horsepower thanks to its GM Ultium drive motors and GM Ultium batteries, enough to send it to 60 mph in just 3 seconds.

Under the body, the Hummer EV rides on the GM BT1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Factory Zero facility.

  1. Lost thing, in the world I would want to be in, off road, is an EV. They are for fine for local around town trips. Anything else, I’m not interested. Just my opinion. Not sure opinions are allowed anymore? It may change someday but not anytime soon. EV’s are all about controlling the masses. They can shut the power off to your home with the smart meter on your house. At this point, they can’t prevent you from going to a gas station. It’s pretty obvious where things are going.

    1. It is your opinion, and thats fine… but my opinion is that you’re an idiot

      1. hevori360… I feel the same way about sheep like you!

        1. Right, ‘cuz those who worship at the altar of fossil fuels are so strong-willed! Most won’t even consider an EV! Nuthin’ sheeplike about that kind of behavior….

          Not to mention your diatribe about “controlling the masses.” Read anything by Karl Marx lately? Worrying about a ruling class exerting uninhibited power makes you sound like some misguided kid who’s taking an intro to poli sci seminar in his sophomore year of college.

          Bottom line? You calling others sheep is a pretty clear case of Takes one to know one….

      2. Have the same opinion as me or you’re an idiot? Wow. Really making a solid point there.

    2. There is thing called solar panels, where you can generate your own power.

      It’s just my opinion, but anyone buying a gas car at this point, is a psychopath that cares not about the damage they are doing to their neighbors.

      1. Damage to the neighbors. That’s hilarious!
        🤣🤣🤣

        1. Yeah, damage to your neighbors. Noticed any changes to your homeowner’s insurance bills over the last two decades? Well, you probably haven’t, but ask Mom about it the next time she brings your sammie down to the basement when it’s time for lunch. She’ll tell you that it costs at least four times more to insure her house now than it did in the late ’90s.

          Know why? ‘Cuz of the ever-increasing cases of natural phenomena destroying people’s property, resulting in a bunch more people filing homeowner’s insurance claims. And, as we all know, insurance companies recoup the costs of paying those claims by spreading them out among all the people they insure in the form of higher premiums in the future–even for homeowners who weren’t involved in the floods or wildfires or blizzards or hurricanes or tornadoes that, to anybody who’s come around to the idea that the world is round, are known to be among the many consequences of humans indiscriminately burning the ancient remains of dinosaurs.

          So, yeah, damage to your neighbors. Might be hilarious to you, but go upstairs and ask Mom how she feels about it the next time she pays her homeowner’s insurance bill….

          1. Wow and I thought one of the bigger influence to the rising cost of homeowners insurance was because the cost of building or repairing a home today is substantially higher today than it was in the 90s.

    3. Richard, as an owner of an BEV and a diesel ZR2 I wouldn’t take this HUMMER EV on a serious off road adventure either because its way too heavy and has the uncanny ability to brick at the worst times. You see an occasional RIVIAN on some of the popular loops in Moab where range isn’t going to be an issue, but for overlanding in remote places, BEVs are limited for now (although their range will likely exceed EPA estimates in these situations – wind resistance is a significant factor plus accounting for regen braking). External battery packs are becoming available, but still add significant weight and are a problem if mounted high like gas cans. To your other point: I would argue that a BEV would provide more ‘freedom’ if you have solar panels than going to a gas station that is still reliant on electricity. Additionally, storing large amounts of fuel has its own issues as gasoline has a typical shelf life of 3-6 months while diesel is about a year. These volatile organics begin to break down immediately following refining and chemical stabilizers can only slow the process down. Contrary to post-apocalyptic movies where they use 10 year old gas to drive ICE vehicles, BEVs are better suited for this environment 😉

  2. “They can shut off the power to your home” – wear a tin foil hat recently? I’m not a Green-Deal lover, but I’m 1000% impressed by the HEV and have to say your logic shows your ignorance. You don’t think ‘they’ can shut off the gas stations just as quickly as the power grid, or your credit cards? Unless you have 100s of gallons of fuel lying around to ‘maintain your freedom’? Your end-of-times scenario has flaws. With an EV you *could* use solar power to stay powered up off-the-grid, but worst case scenario, your not drilling for gas to keep your mad-max vehicle fueled up. I think your fuel source isn’t your biggest problem, it’s your inability to stay in touch w/ reality. Gas vehicles aren’t going anywhere, just like your flawed logic, but embracing new technology would help you advance as a human, but sounds like that’s the opposite of what’s possible here.

    1. LMAO at ‘mad max’ as I was thinking the same thing.

  3. The Stradman on youtube has one and his trip to Moab was an eye opener as to how these things can teally screw up your day. And night

  4. Definitely is not suited for doing any of those locations often. the TFL truck high centered and lost functions quite often.
