I had the opportunity to drive this one for a week and I must say I was blown away by its capabilities., While the bulk of my time with the 110000 truck, took place during a week of Seattle rain.. I did also get to drive it in sunny Arizona as well, even taking it off road.. That said, lets start with its design.. The Hummer EV is a massive vehicle and it commands attention wherever it goes. From its wide stance to its towering height. This truck is designed to make a statement. The front. Grill is massive and shines with glowing LED lights, while the electric motors are housed in blacked out wheel, wells..

The truck is equipped with an electric all wheel, drive system, which consists of one electric motor for the front wheels and two motors for the rear wheels.. In total, the system generates an astounding, 1000 horsepower and 1200 pound feet of torque, and it feels every bit as powerful. The Hummer blasts off the line like a rocket in its watts to freedom or WTF, launch control mode, and it can sprint from zero to 60 Miles per hour in just three seconds., The electric powertrain is also smooth and easy to modulate, making the Hummer a confident and relaxed vehicle to drive in town and on the highway., but the Hummer EV is more than just a straight line. Speedster.. This truck handles the road with grace and poise, thanks to its adaptive, air suspension and four wheel, steering system. The Hummer glides over bumps and dips in the road and the suspension does a great job of controlling body lean around turns.. The quick and lightly weighted steering makes this massive pickup truck, feel nimble and its tight turning circle makes it a breeze to maneuver in tight spaces.. The Hummers off road capabilities are also nothing short of impressive.. The truck boasts 13 inches of suspension, travel and up to 16 inches of ground clearance, which allows it to crawl and articulate across rough terrain, while keeping all four wheels on the ground.. The torque vectoring system expertly shuttles power to the wheels with the most traction while the front and rear locking differentials provide added low speed grip when the terrain gets hairy.

. The Hummers big 35 inch tires provide excellent grip on loose surfaces, and the four wheel steering system makes it easy to maneuver around obstacles.. It also allows the truck to crab walk diagonally, which is especially handy on off camber trails..

And, of course, all this capability comes with a price and the Hummer EV is no exception.. Again, with an estimated driving range of 329 miles and a price of over 110000 as configured in the model, I tested this truck isnt cheap..
