Rivian aims to "electrify the outdoors", whereas GMC wants the Hummer to be considered the "world's first all-electric supertruck", which, by the look of it, basically means a plus-sized electric Ram 1500 TRX fighter. Tests & Drives By no measure do the new 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup and the 2022 Rivian R1T feel like they have anything in common. Aided by WTF mode (no launch control exists in the R1T, though we're told Rivian is working on it), the Hummer claws its way to 60 mph in an astonishing 3.0 seconds. The Hummer holds the advantage when it comes to approach, breakover, and departure angles (49.7/32.2/38.4 degrees versus 34.0/25.7/29.3 degrees for the Rivian) and ground clearance, but the Rivian's smaller size, extra motor, and suspension make it the better all-arounder off-pavement.

The 110 station wagon models have additional major steel structures that are also prone to expensive rust damage -- the sill, B-post and C-post assembly on each side of the vehicle.

According to automotive researcher J.D. Power, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to make up only 9% of car sales in the US this year, down from the previous forecast of 12.4%. This revision comes after Ford Motor Co. scaled back its EV strategy and other automakers, like Volkswagen AG, delayed production of EVs due to slowing demand. J.D. Power attributes the slower growth of EVs to increased competition from gasoline-powered vehicle alternatives, such as gas-electric hybrids, and consumer concerns about public charging infrastructure. J.D. Power predicts that EVs will account for 36% of US sales by 2030, falling short of President Joe Biden's target of 50%. [Extracted from the article]

In celebration of Four Wheeler's 60th anniversary in 2022 we invited several past staffers to join us on the 2022 Four Wheeler Pickup Truck of the Year test and each brought with them years of experience in off-road and new vehicle testing THE JUDGES' PREFERRED PICKUPS SEAN HOLMAN FOUR WHEELER CONTENT DIRECTOR There were so many good trucks in this test, and as much as the Raptor is aiming to be the ultimate pickup, there was one truck in the test that felt a little more casual, a little more relaxed, and was a little more well-rounded. The truck was an absolute blast to drive in the sand as well - with the transfer case switched to low-range the truck's traction control systems stayed out of the way enough to let the truck absolutely dominate the dunes. This is evidenced in our own testing as well, as the Raptor won our Pickup Truck of the Year award with its first-generation truck in 2011, its second generation in 2017, and now with the most recent '21 F-150 Raptor. Many of our judges noted that while the truck's added width at first appeared to be prohibitive on tight trail sections, taking a slightly different approach to the obstacles actually enabled the big truck to do more and go farther.

To pull the bus to truck conversion off right, Pepito HD and Israel had to think outside the box. The plan was to cut into the bus and make a truck out of it - a truck that was unique in its own right but a truck that still resembled a model most people were familiar with.
