The GMC Hummer EV is one of those statement-making vehicles that you just really want. Nonetheless, it’s still a very usable, bonafide pickup truck that compares favorably to gasoline, diesel, and electric trucks on the market. The Fast Lane Truck recently got its hands on a 2025 Hummer EV Pickup and found it to be more than meets the eye.  

Trim Levels and Pricing 

The 2025 GMC Hummer EV is available in two main trim levels, the EV2X dual-motor with 570 horsepower that has a base MSRP of $99,340, or the EV3X tri-motor trim that starts from $107,570 and has a monstrous 1,000 horsepower. Buyers who choose the dual-motor model can tow up to 12,000 pounds, which is more than the Rivian R1T, Tesla Cyertruck, and the Ford F-150 Lightning. The Hummer EV truck also features a five-foot bed with the revolutionary GMC MultiPro tailgate.

Off- or On-Road, the Hummer EV Is a Great Truck 

It’s nice to have a truck that does well when the terrain gets tough but still behaves on normal tarmac. The GMC Hummer EV wowed the author with how easy and daily livable it was, saying, “While we did off-road this truck as well, I spent most of our week with this GMC Hummer EV on the pavement, where most owners will likely spend their time. That’s where features like Super Cruise come in extremely handy, especially for such a large truck, while the rear-wheel steering makes the truck surprisingly maneuverable given its immense girth.”

No Range Anxiety Here 

Buyers who choose the 3X trim level will be able to drive up to 381 miles when a 24-module battery pack is optioned. The 2X models will travel up to 311 miles on a single charge. At a Level 3 DC fast charger, the Hummer can add 100 miles of range in just 12 minutes.

Putting the Power Down Is Incredibly Easy 

Vehicles with massive amounts of horsepower typically have trouble putting it to the pavement without shredding the car’s tires or ending up surrounded by billowing clouds of tire smoke. The Hummer EV, however, does not seem to have this issue with its power, as TFL Truck found out: “That 1,000 horsepower is a cool figure on paper, but the way this truck delivers that power is absolutely jaw-dropping, and terrifying if you aren’t careful. Engage WTF mode — which GMC insists you do by pressing the traction control button twice while at a complete stop, lest you do it accidentally — and jam the throttle, and you’ll need to cling onto the steering wheel to keep all four-and-a-bit tons of truck from torque steering out of your lane.”

A Usable Vehicle That’s Fun and Crazy Fast 

Although it will surprise you with its civility and usability, the GMC Hummer EV makes a very bold and loud statement with its 0-60 mph time of just 3 seconds. When you’re going to the hardware store to pick up some stuff for your weekend project, you can embarrass most supercars along the way, or you can always use the Crab Walk feature in parking lots to give people a shock and a laugh.
