I wonder how many people would actually cross shop these two vehicles.

But perhaps I can't let go of my dislike of the original Hummer.

I have reservations for both. Lots of people do. At least one person has taken delivery of both (we've seen pictures).

Very long, excellent article, but the conclusion says it all:

The Verdict
Ultimately when it comes down to which is the better truck, the choice was easy. The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup First Edition is endlessly charming, reminding us that cars, trucks, and SUVs should first and foremost be fun. The Hummer doesn't take itself even remotely seriously, and it's a complete mishmash of competing themes and ideals, but it works. Despite all that, though, it's simply outmatched by a truck that's not only smaller and cheaper, but to add insult to injury, better built, better to drive, and more capable.

If driving the Rivian is like sipping a great pour-over coffee, driving the Hummer is like mainlining Red Bull while being punched in the face.

That was a very "feel good about my decision" article as a soon-to-be R1T owner.

I have both. Hummer has 4100 miles on it and I am working on getting it listed on cars and bids. If you want a truck to drive a truck, the Hummer absolutely is a great choice. I like the Rivian better because it handles roads a lot better, where I do 99% of my driving.

Man... I hate coffee and drink energy drinks. But I don't really want to get punched in the face. Now I don't know what truck to get.

Well to be fair you don't know until you try, so I think you're going to have to get punched in the face so you can know for sure.

For science.

Been there. I did a lot of fighting sports growing up. The science experiment is over. Sorry!

Would you mind sharing with us your DC fast charging experience with the Hummer vs the R1T? Thats something i find most of the reviews are skipping. Im curious about the hummer charging curve and how long it takes to fill up that giant 200KW battery.
