    • Major EV Downside - Over 9000 pound curb weight for the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Truck

      It is going to need 1000 horsepower and 1000 lb-ft of torque. That's right, the upcoming GMC Hummer EV truck is quoted as coming in with a curb weight of 9046 pounds. No, that is not a typo.


      Another way to look at it? More weight than two Mercedes-AMG E63 sedans. Suddenly, the 5783 pound G63 AMG even looks light.

      The Hummer truck absolutely looks cool with great capability but what kind of off-roader is it going to be carrying over 10,000 pounds around with passengers and cargo? Is this thing even going to be able to cross bridges?

      You simply can not get around the laws of physics and on precarious off-road terrain the suspension is going to have its work cut out for it.

      Additionally, if the horsepower figure made us think this was going to be a fast truck maybe we need to think again.

      What is there to say? Even the heavy Ram TRX is 2000+ pounds lighter than the Hummer.

        Why are you complaining? It will crush anything in its way.

        If this thing hits you because of the inattentive driver at the wheel, you and all your occupants likely just die. I honestly believe that if a vehicle weighs this much it should require a commercial driver's license.

        I was just about to say the same thing. You might need to have a CDL to drive this thing. It weighs even more than a crew cab dually from the big three.
