1, 000 horsepower in an off-road truck? Take that Raptor and TRX! But hang on a minute, there's a twist. The new Hummer EV is, as the name implies, an EV.
That means it is likely to be heavier than the Raptor and TRX and unless you go to a desert with regularly spaced DC Fast Charge stations, its unlikely to be a true Baja crawler.
On teh other hand, we know it is likely to be the fastest truck in the world, as long as it beats the equally crazy Tesla truck to market. Sadly GM has yet to give us detailed specs but this video touches on what we know at the moment.
Monkeyheadtpc: I get why motor torque in an ICE car is relevant for the feel, as it basically tells you how hard it can pull your car at a given RPM rate (say when cruising in a high gear, how agile is it still. In an EV that is not so relevant IMO since the RPM is what it is anyway and is proportional to your speed (ignoring special cases like 2-speed-transmission in the Taycan. So I would argue that wheel torque is actually the more objective measurement and the more relevant to everyday driving. You could theoretically make a larger electric motor with a lower gear ratio to get the same wheel torque but higher engine torque. But this would have no effect on how it feels to drive it.
