The automotive market is abuzz with news of the latest electrified trucks, and two heavyweights are stealing the show: the Ford F-150 Lightning and the GMC Hummer EV Pickup. With impressive specs and sleek designs, these rivals are sure to attract attention from even the most traditional truck enthusiasts. Here’s a comparison of these two impressive vehicles.
Power
Both the Lightning and the Hummer Pickup boast some really impressive numbers under the hood. The Lightning, with its front and rear motors, is able to produce a combined 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. That’s certainly not anything to sneeze at. However, the Hummer takes things to an entirely new level. With not one, not two, but three motors (one up front and two in the rear), the Hummer packs an incredible 1,000 horsepower and a whopping 1,200 lb-ft of torque. It’s a level of power that seems almost unnecessary.
Range
Ford and GMC are truly pushing the limits of what electric pickups can do, especially in terms of range. The Lightning’s battery has a capacity of 131 kWh, which is impressive by most standards, but it’s dwarfed by the comically large 212.7 kWh battery in the Hummer. The Hummer’s battery is twice the size of most regular EV batteries, making it unlike anything else in the industry. Despite its massive battery, the Hummer only edges out the Lightning in the range department, with a range of 329 miles compared to the Lightning’s 320 miles.
Towing Capacity
Some skeptics still think EVs can’t handle tough jobs, but Ford and GMC are making naysayers think again. The Ford F-150 Lightning and the GMC Hummer EV Pickup are proving that EVs can be just as powerful as their gasoline counterparts. Both boast impressive towing power, but the F-150 Lightning has a clear edge when it comes to pulling heavy loads. With a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs—compared to the Hummer’s more modest 7,500—the Lightning proves that EVs are ready to take on even the toughest jobs.
Price
When it comes to electrified trucks, the Ford F-150 Lightning is the clear winner in terms of value. It recently undercut the price of its closest competitor, the Rivian, by a substantial $7,000. Interestingly, the Rivian’s price then jumped up by a whopping $12,000. However, the cost of the F-150 Lightning has gone up, too—the 2023 F-150 Lightning Lariat, for example, is priced at $89,514. Even so, it is still a highly desirable option for those looking for a high-quality electrified truck. Although it may not be the cheapest option on the market, it is still vastly more affordable than the $110,295 price tag of the Hummer EV Pickup.
An All-Electric Future Is Here!
