What if one truck was all of these issues, and value about $120,000?
For the file, the 2026 GMC Hummer 3X pickup prices about $120,000, and does issues typical picks easy weren’t made to do—like outrun a Corvette. Actually. Extra on that in a second…
Hummer Historical past
A bit of background: Normal Motors dusted off the Hummer identify for 2022, this time as a GMC electric-vehicle sub-brand. As soon as derided as a logo of vehicular waste and extra, Hummer’s return as a clear, electrical lineup of vans was clearly meant to vindicate the marque, and to a lesser extent, GM as properly.
Hummer Lineup
Hummer relaunched with a pickup truck and huge SUV, each of that are constructed on GM’s “Ultium” structure and assembled on the maker’s Manufacturing facility Zero plant situated in Detroit. The pickup and SUV are very comparable in design and powertrain availability, although energy specs differ.
The Hummer pickup is finest thought-about an excessive model of the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra SUV, each of that are mechanically associated to the Hummer, and roughly the identical dimension.
That mentioned, the Hummer pickup boasts significantly extra energy, extra obtainable off-road gear, and extra luxurious trappings. We’ll be specializing in the pickup right now.
Costs and Trim Ranges
For 2026, GMC gives the Hummer pickup in three trim ranges:
- 2X ($99,895)
- 3X ($107,995)
- Graphite Version (N/A)
The Graphite Version, which options distinctive shade and trim parts, is predicted to reach later within the mannequin yr and be priced above the 3X.
Drivetrain
Energy for the Hummer pickup comes from both a dual-motor association (2X) or three-motor setup (3X and Graphite Version). Twin-motor Hummer pickups are rated at 570 horsepower, whereas three-motor examples boast a prodigious 1000 horsepower, with much more optionally obtainable.
Batteries
Battery choices embody a normal 180-kWh battery, which delivers between 312 and 318 miles of vary, relying on how the truck is supplied. An non-compulsory 205-kWh battery extends vary up 381 miles, once more, relying on gear. The non-compulsory battery additionally brings with it an influence bump on three-motor fashions, elevating the horsepower depend to 1160.
Check Automotive
Shopper Information just lately spent per week behind the wheel of a 2026 Hummer 3X Pickup geared up with the non-compulsory battery, rolling mattress cowl, and NACS (Tesla) cost adaptor. All informed, our Meteorite Metallic take a look at automotive got here to $118,935, together with vacation spot cost.
Earlier than we leap into our basic overview, there are two issues concerning the Hummer Pickup any shopper on this class should know up entrance: It’s odd to look out from, and it’s robust to leap into.
Trying Out
The unique Hummer design—going means again—included a slender glass space that hampered outward visibility. The brand new Hummer EV pays tribute to that look, although the whole glass space is now extra beneficiant. The windshield of the brand new Hummer is fastened in a really upright place nevertheless, compromising considerably the view outward, and in addition inserting the motive force nearer to the glass. This example is briefly a little bit disorienting, although some drivers could discover getting used to the setup takes a little bit time. That mentioned, we acclimated simply to this association throughout our take a look at week.
Leaping In
Because of its massive wheels and tires, and beneficiant off-road accommodating floor clearance, the Hummer Pickup is a chore to enter and exit. Youthful and extra nimble drivers and passengers could not thoughts, however a few of our testers discovered the day by day climb into the Hummer tiresome. Whereas this will likely be a problem for older passengers, we suspect most Hummer house owners will discover the climb a part of this car’s attraction.
Cabin
Having climbed into the cabin, drivers and friends will discover a surplus of passenger area and really comfy seating lodging. The cabin seems contemporary and trendy, and is completed in engaging, high-end supplies, although maybe not fairly $120,000 excessive finish. That mentioned, the Hummer Pickup inside is heat and welcoming.
Infotainment
Apparently, the Hummer doesn’t make use of a single display which incorporates each the instrument panel and center-console touchscreen—a factor which has turn out to be very fashionable, particularly in electrical autos—and as a substitute goes with two screens, each of that are simple to learn.
Most features are accessed through the touchscreen, with the first local weather controls situated in a band beneath the display. We discovered entry to the most-used operations typically simple and uncomplicated.
Energy and Efficiency
Underway, the Hummer impresses. With greater than 1000 horsepower on faucet, the large electrical pickup launches—easily—from a cease, and when pressed, will attain 60 mph in simply 3.0 seconds, in response to GMC. For comparability, a brand-new base Corvette will attain 60 mph in 3.0-3.3 seconds. What impresses most concerning the obtainable energy is how easily the Hummer goes about its enterprise in routine driving. It’s the very definition of a “sleeper.”
Journey and Dealing with
On the street the Hummer feels stable, with luxury-sedan trip high quality and spectacular quietness. Dealing with can be noteworthy. Regardless of the Hummer’s substantial mass, it takes corners with confidence, and feels sporty within the course of. Additionally, because of the truck’s Digital 4-Wheel Steer system, it maneuvers by tight areas and parking garages with nearly ridiculous ease.
Snow Efficiency
As luck would have it, the Hummer’s time with Shopper Information coincided with a major snow occasion. We’re completely satisfied to report that this large EV is just not troubled by deep snow or vital drifts. Snowbelters, take word.
4-Wheel Steering
An attention-grabbing word concerning the Hummer’s 4-wheel steering system: Software program updates to the system had been applied for 2026, enhancing the large truck’s capability to execute tight turns. As a result of the updates don’t embody {hardware}, GMC is ready to improve 2022-2025 Hummer fashions with the identical updates, through an over-the-air (OTA) obtain. There isn’t a cost for the improve.
Worth
Cadillac as soon as constructed a pickup truck. It was a variant of the Escalade SUV dubbed EXT. The plush pickup was provided between 2002 and 2013, and was arguably pickup-truck succesful whereas additionally being over-the-top luxurious.
The Hummer Pickup picks up the EXT mantle, and expands on it with larger energy, higher dealing with, and far improved vitality effectivity. At $120,000 properly geared up, the Hummer is an enormous dedication, however there’s large payoff should you benefit from the what this loopy truck brings to the desk. For us, we’re glad that GMC selected to shed the Hummer’s paramilitary design for one thing cleaner and extra trendy.
And as for recollections of the militaristic, gas-sucking Hummers of days passed by—let these recollections fade away. Hummer has redeemed itself.
