- 1992 was a year for the books!
Floppy disks were still a think back then.
John Carson hosted "The Tonight Show"
for the very last time.
And, oh yeah, the original Hummer H1
hit the consumer market.
Over the next 18 years, the Hummer would undergo
several changes, both internally and externally.
Until 2010, when the Hummer lineup was
officially discontinued.
Fast forward 10 years to 2020, however.
And suddenly, bam!
There's a new kid on the block.
And he's badder than ever.
I'm Dustin with Custom Offsets,
and today, we're gonna be charging up
to find out what's the hype with the
brand new, all-electric Hummer EV.

Unless you've been living under a rock the last few days,
you've likely already seen the 2022 Hummer EV.
And if you have been living under a rock,
surprise, the Hummer's back!
And this time, it's back with a vengeance.
Boasted as the first all-eclectic super-truck,
the Hummer came out swinging.
Sailing under the GMC flag,
the all new Hummer EV features and impressive
1,000 horsepower, and up to 11,500 pound feet of torque.
Yes, that's 11,000!
As if this wasn't enough for you,
the Hummer brings to the table,
zero emissions, zero limits,
and a whole lot of awesome features,
which we'll dive into in just a second here.
First though, let's talk about performance.
With the available Watts to Freedom Mode,
the new Hummer does zero to 60 miles an hour
in just three seconds.
For reference, that's on par with a
2019 Corvette XR1 and faster than a Lamborghini Huracán.
As if the power wasn't enough,
Watts to Freedom also lowers the vehicle two inches,
dropping the center of gravity,
and improving arrow dynamics.
In terms of range, the Hummer delivers by providing
what GM estimates as 351 miles on a single charge.
Better yet, when it comes to charging the Hummer,
you can expect top notch performance
via an 800 volt fast charge system.
Which gets you an impressive 100 miles worth of charge
in just 10 minutes.
The fun doesn't stop there.
The Hummer EV was designed for performance,
both on and off the road.
Take the extract driving mode, for example.
Which uses the same air suspension
that lowers the vehicle in the Watts to Freedom Mode
to raise the vehicle.
And gain another six inches of ground clearance.
That's a whole lift kit at the press of a button.
Take the Hummer's crabs steering, for example.
Which allows you to pitch all four wheels
to one side or the other.
Increasing maneuverability in tight situations.
Plus, if that wasn't enough,
the Hummer comes from the factory
with 35 inch Good Year tires,
and GMC advertises that the vehicle has room for 37s.
It's like they already know we're gonna slap some
big old tires on it as soon as we get our hands on one.
In terms of styling, the Hummer has a sleek
and stylish vibe, with a rounded six light front grill
that functions as the headlights,
and also as a charging indicator.
So you always know the status of your battery.
The cabin features what GMC calls transparent sky panels,
which are removable glass panels that clip
into the roof of the vehicle to provide panoramic view.
A 14 speaker Bose Audio System,
it's what GMC says is an acoustical experience
designed for the Hummer EV cabin.
This, paired with a 12.3 inch driver information screen,
and a massive 13.4 screen in the center console
means that there's no shortage of tech on the interior.
A center-mounted shifter in the console
keeps the interior clean.
And the stitched leather seats appear
to be clean and stylish.
Now, the not so nice part: Pricing.
Your freshly reserved Hummer will come into your dealer
in one of four possible trim levels.
Those trims are: EV2, EV2X, EV3X,
and the already sold out, EV Edition 1.
Starting at the bottom, the EV features two electric motors,
a 250 mile range, and starts at about $80,000.
Moving up, the EV3X bumps up to three electric motors,
300 miles of driving range,
and starts at a cool $100,000.
Finally, if you were lucky enough
to get one of the Edition 1 pre-orders,
you could expect three motors, 1,000 horsepower,
350 miles of driving range,
and a starting ticket price of $113,000.
(cash registering chiming) While the Edition 1
may be out of my league, it still tells us quit a bit
about the future of our vehicles,
and where this new era a trucks is headed.
With all that being said, people have been asking
us what our thoughts are on the new Hummer.
And honestly, to say we're excited is an understatement.
This new Hummer breathes fresh air into the automotive world
and seems to show a ton of promise.
The technology alone will be a
huge driving force in the market.
And we're super-pumped to see the new era
this all-electric Hummer will usher in.
Plus, they look dope with after market wheels on 'em!
