2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup We briefly drove his latest creation: a 9000-plus-pound, 1000-hp, three-motor, removable-roof pickup. Even without strapping our test gear to it, we’re pretty sure he nailed the performance part. We weren’t allowed to sample the Watts to Freedom (WTF) launch-control mode—a name that deserves the eye roll you just gave it—from the driver’s seat. But we were able to experience it from the passenger seat. Just before feeling said WTF moment, we watched as another Hummer EV roasted its tires. GMC says it’ll take this Edition 1 pickup three seconds to reach 60 mph. Activating WTF vibrates the driver’s seat, a sort of warning of what’s to come. The Hummer can take its time preparing itself—upward of 18 seconds. The air springs slam the body to the ground, and the battery and electronics find their optimum temperatures. The Goodyear Wrangler tires are R-rated, which means they are good for up to 106 mph, a speed the Hummer should hit long before it crosses the line in a quarter-mile pass.
