GMC Finally Equips EV Hummer SUVs & Trucks With 3X Trim Option
The latest Hummer EV 3X pickup has a range of 355 miles on a single charge.
After GMC successfully launched the Hummer EV Pickup, the company announced new electric trucks and SUVs with multiple customization configurations, including a 3X trim package.
The 3X line of vehicles was initially intended to launch during the fall of 2022, but consumers have had to wait until mid-2023 for a Hummer EV Pickup to arrive with 22-inch wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Meanwhile, the Hummer EV SUV will only become available in 3X trim for the 2024 model.
When released, GMC’s Hummer SUV and pickup will be available in two trims, Edition 1 and 3X.
For the pickup version, the 3X trim version can be equipped with an optional extreme off-road package. Meanwhile, the SUV sees both 3X and Edition 1 vehicles come with the option for an off-road package.
In addition to increased customization, GMC has announced that the new vehicles can travel 355 miles on a single charge. However, this figure will decrease if a customer has specced their vehicle with mud tires, skid plates, and other weighty accessories.

GMC is still keeping quiet about some of the new vehicle specs. Still, we do know that they will feature the same three-motor layout as previous generations, with outputs of a frankly insane 1,000 horsepower and a gargantuan towing capacity of 7,500 to 8,500 pounds.
Despite a rather hefty starting price tag of $80,000, consumer interest is building for GMC’s new electric trucks. Preorders went live in September 2022, with reservations quickly hitting 65,000. Although waiting lists are at full capacity, GMC has more electric vehicles in the pipeline, including the Sierra Denali truck and Chevy Silverado.
