By no measure do the new 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup and the 2022 Rivian RIT feel like they have anything in common. The Rivian is a quiet, sophisticated, and reserved electric pickup. Introverted, even. The Hummer EV is a huge, brash, all-you-can-eat buffet of themes and features. Yet the Rivian and the Hummer-the first and second electric pickups to hit the market have more in common than you'd think.
Ignoring their combined seven motors, 333 kWh of battery storage, and 1,835 horsepower, the GMC and Rivian are among the ultimate on- and off-road do-it-all pickups to ever hit the streets. They are, as it turns out, two sides of the same coin. It's time to determine which one is the better pickup.
Where the Ford F-150 Lightning (page 28) is designed to be a work truck first, the Hummer EV Edition 1 and Rivian RIT Launch Edition both cater to the "lifestyle" crowd-each is happy to work, but they're far more likely to whisk well-heeled owners away on weekend adventures. Rivian aims to "electrify the outdoors," whereas GMC wants the Hummer to be considered the "world's first all-electric super-truck," which, by the look of it, basically means a plus-sized electric Ram 1500 TRX fighter.

2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty
The heavy-duty truck world moves more slowly than other pickup classes, and progress comes in spurts. Take the Ford F-Series Super Duty, whose recent refresh included softer-edged styling, a new entry-level gas-fed V-8, a new high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, and myriad small improvements like new bedside steps. Is it still basically the same truck as before? Absolutely, but it’s also a better Super Duty, however incrementally.
