Release Dates & Production Dates

The poised 2022 GMC Hummer EV Truck is planned to make a memorable comeback in 2022 for the automotive marketplace. Production began for the GMC Hummer EV Truck in Fall of 2021 for the premium Edition 1 model and will offer more affordable trims beginning Fall 2022 with the EV^3X trim level. Other Hummer EV trims like the mid-level EV^2X and entry-level EV² will become available in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck will start deliveries to customers in Spring of 2022. Ford is not very clear about which trim levels will be available when the first Ford F-150 Lightning shipments start arriving in Spring 2022. It could be that only the top Platinum trim is available at first with lower level trims becoming available later much like the GMC Hummer truck, but GMC is way more upfront about consumer expectations. Plus, there is still the concern of shortages and delays, so only time will tell.

Price Comparison

The starting price for the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Truck is $79,995 MSRP, while the starting price for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is $39,974 MSRP. This might seem like a bit of a shock at first, but we all know what entry-level means when it comes to the F-150 i.e. you don't want it. It is completely commercial-oriented and is stripped of a lot of standard equipment and amenities that you want in your electric truck. The true "entry-level" for the average truck buyer will be the more-equipped mid-level XLT trim that starts at $52,974 MSRP. Now you start to feel that sticker shock ease away. Unlike the Ford Lightning, the entry-level EV2 GMC Hummer comes packed with plenty of standard equipment and amenities well worth the price.

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Truck also offers the Hummer EV^2X starting at $89,995 MSRP, the Hummer EV^3X starting at $99,995 MSRP, and the Hummer EV Edition 1 that starts at $112,595 MSRP. The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning also offers the XLT trim starting at $52,974 MSRP, the Lariat trim which doesn't have a set price, and the Platinum trim that doesn't have a set price. Ford says the price for the F-150 will range upwards of $90,474 which could be the price of a fully-loaded Platinum trim level (probably starting in the $72,000 range). As for the Ford Lightning Lariat, we anticipate a price tag around the mid-$60,000s as the electric versions will most likely cost more than the gas-powered counterparts.

Interior Design & Features Comparison

The interior design of the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Truck is both futuristic and topless in terms of its impressive electric specs. What sets it apart from the 2022 Ford F-150 is its removable, transparent roof panels, so you can enjoy the sunshine when off-road, stargazing while camping, but cover up during rainfall. Its floor surface is mold-resistant and water-resistant, which can be easily removed for cleaning. The interior of the Hummer EV Truck will make you feel like you transported to the future with its industrial design and modern features. There are two interior options, including the Lunar Horizon and Lunar Shadow in addition to tech bronze accents and 85 percent of the interior being black in color, creating a bold environment. This EV truck has a seating capacity for 5 passengers.

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning's interior has been recognized as the truck that will create a new era with top-of-the-line technology features and a striking interior design. With a SYNC 4A housed in a 15.5-inch touchscreen, it provides voice control, cloud-connected navigation, and wireless access to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. It looks to be the same infotainment system that was offered in the Mustang Mach-E. There is also a 12-inch, fully customizable gauge cluster with animated graphics for added entertainment. Optional fold-out interior work surfaces and fully reclining seats are available for a luxurious feel. This truck is a Quad Cab and offers seating for up to 5 passengers. Overall, it doesn't look much different that a normal F-150 interior aside from the giant vertical touchscreen display in the center dashboard. We don't feel the same excitement and awe looking at the interior of the Ford Lightning as we do when we take a gander at the interior of the 2022 Hummer EV truck.

This model features a 11,500 lb-ft. torque from its powertrain and gear ratios. The Hummer EV also has aggressive regenerative brakes when one-pedal driving is enabled, including a Chevy Bolt-style regen paddle behind the left side of the steering wheel which activates added resistance.

The 2022 Ford F-150 comes with two lithium-ion battery packs, including a Standard Range pack targeting a 230-mine EPA-estimated range. Its electric motors' output results to 563 horsepower with dual-motors and all-wheel drive setups.

Comparing Towing Capacity & Payload Ratings: GMC Hummer EV Truck vs. Ford F-150 Lightning

The 2022 Hummer EV Truck presents a competitive towing and payload capacity. The Hummer EV truck has an estimated towing rating of 7,500 pounds and an estimated payload rating of around 1,300 pounds. The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has a towing capacity that ranges between 7,700 pounds and 10,000 pounds where you need the extended-range battery to achieve the latter. As for the Ford F-150 Lightning payload capacity, expect between 1,800 (extended-range model) and 2,000 pounds (standard-range model). It is still yet to be seen how towing or hauling heavy loads will affect the battery life and EV range of both electric trucks. So, for now, it would be best to go with the electric truck that has the better overall electric driving range estimates, which happens to be the Hummer EV truck.

After comparing the prices, the features, the technology, and interior/exterior looks, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Truck and 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Truck are similar in terms of where the automotive industry is heading yet completely different in the statement they make doing it. The ultimate choice between either electric truck might come down to brand loyalty or it could be due to the price, technology, or even the smallest of details.
