That mode allows the Hummer to hit 60 mph in 3 seconds, and the drama is dialed up with visual, audible and haptic cues. It's even a tad more torque in Watts To Freedom mode, which preemptively runs the cooling system to enable the additional twist. No one can resist seeing what 1,000 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque will feel like. We'll start where most owners probably will: mashing the throttle. In other words, although you can literally no longer order an Edition 1, you can still order a Hummer EV with nearly the same specification. Among those features are the three motors, torque vectoring, “Watts To Freedom” launch mode, four-wheel steering, removable glass roof panels, 35-inch tires, Super Cruise, power rear window and MultiPro tailgate. It's sold out, but many of the features will be available on the next highest trim level, the EV 3X. It's the only version in production for now, with lower trims coming in the next couple years. That six-figure truck is the version we tested, the Edition 1, which actually rings in at $112,595. And they're worth being aware of before plunking down the more than $100,000 a first-year Hummer will run you. It totally delivers on its incredible capabilities, but there are compromises. What we've found is that the Hummer EV is undoubtedly a supertruck, much the same way that a Ferrari or a Lamborghini is a supercar. And while we've received a taste of the truck before, only now have we finally got our hands on the production-spec model, and had the opportunity to drive it both off-road and on the street. GMC has even called it a "supertruck" in its own materials. Right from the start, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV has been advertised with superlatives, mostly in reference to its specifications. The steering has a good feel, starting out light at low speeds for easier maneuvering, and picks up some comfortable heft with greater velocity. On-road handling isn't too bad, but the weight still plays a role. It can make slowing down easier, but can also be quite aggressive and might not be to everyone's taste. The regenerative braking can also be increased in a number of ways: by pressing the steering wheel paddle, shifting from "D" to "L," and enabling One-Pedal Mode. Hauling the burly beast down from speed takes a fair bit of pedal pressure, though it does still stop reasonably quickly. The weight is noticeable in other areas, too. Of course, that weight, as well as the nature of electric motors, means the party starts to calm down as the speed increases. That’s several hundred pounds more than the heaviest GMC Sierra HD 3500 diesel dually. It's absurd, especially considering the truck's curb weight that surpasses a truly astounding 9,000 pounds. In addition to pinning you to the seat, the entire truck squats in an exaggerated fashion. But even without engaging launch mode, the Hummer EV impresses and delights with its acceleration.
