No one cares. My eight hundred dollar Thirty year old van has less of a carbon footprint than either of these by the time they are battery- less and broken. What is the yearly repair cost ? How many years will it have to be on the road before it is carbon neutral from it's huge carbon footprint it takes to make? If you want to be green run a 50 percent ethanol mix any vehicle that has a ecm can with no modifications. I have been running all my vehicles since 2007 with zero issues.

Sure am glad that these EV pickups are for the everyman... LOL. Seriously, who is the average person buying this? If you are not making at least 6 figures, neither of these are for you. What's that, top 25% individual income under 40 under the best of circumstances, and probably closer to the top 10% of individual incomes? Good luck with that.

[jmasterlink]

I wished they talked about the range of them and how much power they consumed while on those off road trails

[block-ahrp]

No one wants either of them over priced and under perform all the fancy lights and sounds but put a 10k lb trailer behind either one and drive across i 90 southdakota in one day lol you cant ill keep my truck 3min to fill up pulls better and i paid it off years ago cause it wasn't over priced by 50%

These might be fun toys but they arent affordable to your average blue collar worker and these definitely wont last 10-20 years like most workers expect a brand new truck to last. Then both interiors are overly reliant on screens and software that's already glitching. Im sure ford and gm cheap interior/electronic parts bin aren't going to last any longer than cheaper models either.

All I want is a 1980's Toyota Hilux. Not a rolling iPhone.

[jonesingaround]

I know 2 people that own and have owned a new lightning. These trucks freaking suck. How did they make truck of the year? How much did Ford pay yall for that?

[shoutingATclouds-btw]

Ford should install a big screen TV in place of the grill with images of poor people.

[mpeugeot]

If you mean by Production, only a few thousand copies, well... I guess. Nothing special about $100k+ EVs.

[ChrisWhalenCPA]

Most of my general contractors return the lightnings they definitely don't have enough charge for a real full day's worth of work. It's good for weekends

[purebredamericanmutt]

Man pushing the plug your car into fossil fuels to charge hard now. Does anyone know what you do with the old batteries

[owenminor]

Comparing the two most un-useful vehicles for which one is the least crappy. Awesome! Doesn't run for a day and unusable for real work.

[G-Rated]

The GMC Hummer is such an impressive engineering marvel. If it was from Hyundai or Land Rover everybody would be talking about how amazing the production model is - the first American supertruck. But because it’s *gm* all they wanna talk about is how stupid it is, how much it weighs, and how much it costs.

[Obamanamamama]

Man I love when vehicles are reviewed where they’ll never actually be used by real owners

[kjartanhaga]

Forgot to mention that the Lightning starts at much lower price for the XLT trim level which makes it a $50k difference, why the omission? 🤔

[greatwhiteevox]

The Hummer at least looks nice and commands attention fpr the price, the lightning is dopey, drove one then power is fun for a few miles, the screen blows very slow. Range with towing is whack. The Hummer may be a novelty item in 20 yrs but the lightning will not and noether will make it long without needing new Batteries.

[owenminor]

You are excited about a 100k truck. A truck. Something for dump runs.

[TheNotimprezed]

A $112, 000 Hummer vs a $77, 000 Lightning (that qualifies for a $7500 credit) is not a $20k difference. Neither are a value and Johnny is terrible at math and MT in general hasnt gotten any better, which is why i wont pay for MT online.

[edgart]

Bummer
Hummer looks amazing in real life

[woodrax]

It seems like one item that is often ignored is the overall width of the Hummer EV (and its Hummer EV SUV sibling). The Hummer EV is 86.7 inches wide without the mirrors, which means it is about as wide as an F-150 Raptor, and about 6" wider than the F-150 Lightning.
