Only One Makes It - GMC Hummer EV vs Ford Lightning vs The World’s TOUGHEST Towing Test!

( youtube.com/MagnaInternationalTV ) Thank you to Magna for sponsoring this video! Check out the next-generation automotive and truck technology Magna produces on their YouTube channel.

I find the cost of the EV, the range of the EV and the time charging the EV appalling.

I would like to see a redo of this when temps drop below freezing. Would be great to simulate at -40 temps like we do in Canada.

Imagine how unnecessarily stressful it must be to have to constantly watch your battery life remaining when towing with an electric truck.

I'm curious to see what the results would be if you loaded up the camper with stuff and the truck with people. I suspect that the results would be remarkably different

Great video. I’ll just stick to diesel trucks for towing and not sweat running out of energy and finding a recharge station.

I hope the manufacturers are watching what you guys are doing. This is incredibly valuable information y'all are gathering. User testing is arguably more important than any testing done by the engineering teams.

25:15 - Not for nothing guys but, these are (for the most part) first generation EV Trucks and they performed THIS good. No overheating issues, no power issues, no braking issues, nothing broke and everything worked. You guys didn't even really have charging issues because like Roman mentioned, the charging infrastructure is more evident now. I think this is a huge win for both GM and Ford. I can only imagine how incredible the second generation EV Trucks are going to be after manufacturers process all the years of data from these first generation EV Trucks. Outstanding content in this video btw. 👌

Never have this kind of range anxiety in my 2003 7.3L Powerstroke. And it did not cost me $80K to $115K.

The hummer used the same amount of energy to climb the Ike as my house uses for 24 hours in the hottest month of the year

For practical usefulness I would also take the Cummins. For “blowing a lot of money on a cool car I don’t need” the hummer

You guys are great. Really good info. I just don't see myself going EV until I have to.

I build personal electric vehicles and I already knew the results of these test, the range is really a big issue with batteries that we have especially when the battery gets low. When you get low on battery the voltage sags which causes it do drop in current which really takes a toll on range, it really sucks how dumbed down the dash is you have no stats no way of telling how many amps your drawing the watts nor the voltage all these are really important to know. My pevs have all kinds of stats and it really depends on how you ride and how much you put it to work. Can't wait to see more vids!

The anxiety caused by these EVs is giving me heart palpitations.

I used 7 percent of my cell phone battery crowning the throne and watching this TFL vid. Totally worth it. 15 min 💩 break a day is one week worth of vacation at the end of the year!

Please do these tests this winter. Be very cool to see real world comparisons with just ambient temp differences as variables

Here is my challenge to you. I want to see a timed towing test to go 500 miles through the mountains between an EV, and the Cummins while towing. The timed event must also include the full length of charging stops. Why you may ask,well this is the type of trip I regularly take to TN from OH to go offroading.

Imagine doing this test in winter now.....even less range!

I really appreciate how honest and unguarded you guys are. It makes it more fun to watch while at the same time it is very educational. Thanks!

Hey now; we all know Hoovie's garage is well known for his towing tests 🤣 I'm glad this channel was recommended to me really neat to see the comparison
