GM indicated to dealers in February that the Sky Convertible Top option (RPO SDB) was no longer available for the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV. Now, it is once again available for either the 2X or 3X trim with either body style. The option should cost $1,495.
The Sky Convertible Top has been an elusive option ever since the GMC Hummer EV was first announced. This feature wasn’t available to order when the Pickup and SUV first came out, finally arrived for the 2025 model year, was no longer available to order as of February, and is now available once again.
The Sky Convertible Top is a soft top for the front half of the cabin, in lieu of a hard top or the Infinity Roof with removable Sky Panels. It gives the Hummer a convertible soft top in the front and Sky Panels in the back, allowing the driver and front passenger to open and close part of the roof without removing any panels.
If we consider the GMC Hummer EV equipped with this feature a convertible, then it’s the first convertible from the GMC brand since the K5-based GMC Jimmy with a removable convertible top.
Other changes for the 2025 model year include the discontinuation of the 2 trim level that never actually reached production, as well as the Omega Edition, the subtraction of four paint options, the addition of two new ones, and a new Dark Essentials Package (RPO PDB). Pricing starts at $98,845 for both the Pickup and SUV, and the SUV configurator and Pickup configurator are both live.
For motivation, the Hummer EV 2X trim equips a pair of GM drive motors, while the 3X trim is powered by three motors. Despite this difference, both trims of the SUV send power to their motors from the same 20-module battery pack utilizing GM battery technology. The Hummer EV Pickup in the 3X trim can be equipped with a 24-module battery, pushing its horsepower rating to 1,000.
For the 2025 model year, the GMC Hummer EV continues to use the GM BT1 platform. Production takes place at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan.

I’d rather just keep the panels.
