Take on the Tough Jobs Easily

The Sierra 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds. To do this, you need the diesel engine, 20-inch wheels and tires, and the Max Trailering Package, all equipped on a 2WD Double Cab model.

A rugged truck with a bold personality, the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup is born for adventures. Whether you opt for the standard powertrain or the available three-motor option, this electric supertruck can take you to the highest peaks.

Introducing the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup

The 2025 HUMMER EV Pickup represents the essence of supertruck fun. It is available in two trim levels that share most features but come with different powertrains. The base model is the 2X, although there is nothing basic about it. This trim level uses a dual-motor four-wheel drive setup that, together with the standard 20-module battery pack, delivers 570 horsepower and 7,400 pound-feet of torque.

The 3X trim level boasts a trimotor four-wheel drive setup, with one front and two rear motors. It comes standard with the same 20-module battery as the 2X trim, but it can be customized with GMC’s most advanced 24-module Ultium battery to provide a staggering 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque. Depending on the battery, it provides 318 to 367 miles of range per charge.

Adventure-Ready Features 

While the 2025 HUMMER EV Pickup behaves beautifully on asphalt, it is designed for the open road. Both trim levels come well-equipped for adventures with heavy-duty suspensions, underbody protection, and a minimum ground clearance of 11.9 inches. It can also go through 28 to 32 inches of water, depending on the selected drive mode, meaning you can easily overcome any challenging situation.

With 4-Wheel Steer and CrabWalk, you can easily align or sync the truck’s wheels to reduce the turning radius for easier maneuverability or move diagonally to traverse tight trails. For extreme adventures, you can optimize this truck with the available Extreme Off-Road Package and underbody cameras.

First-Class Comfort and Convenience

This truck’s interior is designed to keep five riders comfortable through the most rugged adventures. The front and rear seats offer exceptional back and lateral support, and all essential controls are placed for easy reach from the driver’s seat.

Removable Sky Panels open up the top, allowing you to enjoy an open-air experience. GMC’s latest infotainment system is also standard on this truck and comes with a range of Google apps for added convenience.

Not all electric vehicles are designed exclusively for urban environments. Even off-roading enthusiasts can now get in on the action. Our case in point is the 2025 GMC HUMMER EV SUV, a car which possesses the durability and capabilities you expect from an off-road vehicle, only without the emissions that they typically produce. Here is why we think the 2025 EV SUV is the future of off-roading.

Basics About the HUMMER SUV

As part of GMC’s HUMMER range, the 2025 edition of this full-size SUV maintains the large, boxy aesthetic for which the brand is known. It is also a powerful off-road performer thanks to its dual-motor powertrain and four-wheel drive configuration. But something that it cannot be accused of maintaining is HUMMER’s reputation for gas guzzling. This eco-friendly off-roader is the latest in a line of fully electric HUMMER vehicles launched by GMC back in 2020.

Notable Features

They say that if something is not broken, you should not fix it. Well, the HUMMER SUV is a vehicle that is hard to break, so not much has changed since 2024 except for two new colors becoming available. That is fine with us because there are already plenty of functional and experience-enhancing features, such as the Infinity Roof with removable panels, and the four-wheel steering with CrabWalk. This offers enhanced maneuverability when navigating tough terrains.

Performance and Capabilities

The HUMMER EV SUV includes both front and rear electric motors, and these can deliver an admirable 570 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque. This impressive performance ensures that the vehicle’s acceleration is smooth and responsive, and it also means that there is enough power to tow vehicles or escape tough spots. The car is also capable of raising its ride height by an additional six inches to clear tricky obstacles.

Charging and Range

On a full charge, the EPA-estimated range of the base-level 2X trim is 303 miles, which makes it suitable for extended journeys as well as daily commutes. The EV SUV is also easy to charge on the go. It can be quickly topped up at any DC Fast Charging station and has an 800 volt system which supports up to 350 kW of charging power.
