GMC is gearing up to introduce a unique overlander concept rooted in its Hummer EV Pickup.
The carmaker shared a preview picture of the vehicle on its Facebook page this Thursday, confirming the formal introduction slated for later this month.
Brief Overview of Toyota Land Cruiser
GMC has named the concept vehicle Hummer EV EarthCruiser, showcasing its collaboration with overlanding maestro EarthCruiser. This Australian firm specializes in creating a variety of vehicles built to withstand long durations on harsh terrain. Since 2013, it has maintained a presence in the U.S. via a branch in Bend, Oregon.
The most recent teaser image depicts the pickup with a rear cover and a rooftop tent, which seems to feature a mechanized roof. A previous teaser photo released in March unveiled a roof adorned with solar panels. Hummer EV Pickup enthusiasts can anticipate ordering these enhancements from EarthCruiser beginning early 2024.
Understanding the GMC Hummer EV EarthCruiser Overlander Concept
Overlanding, or the trend of traversing remote areas for extended periods, is on the rise, and the influx of electric pickups and SUVs onto the market opens new avenues for the overlanding community.
EVs present significant opportunities in the overlanding sphere, including accurate torque control, facilitating easier navigation through challenging landscapes. Furthermore, the vehicle’s battery supplies energy to power various devices intended to increase comfort in the wilderness.
The Hummer EV Pickup launched in 2022, and the 2024 model brings some refinements that extend its range to a maximum of 381 miles. The 2024 model also introduces an SUV style, although the range of the SUV is limited to 314 miles due to a smaller battery.
The 2024 Hummer EV Pickup is priced starting at $106,945, and the 2024 Hummer EV SUV begins at $100,395. Both prices include the destination. As GMC is currently striving to fulfill existing orders, it is no longer accepting reservations for these vehicles.
