Here’s Why the $79,995 GMC Hummer EV SUV Is a 2024 Model
We knew the GMC Hummer EV SUV was coming a year after the GMC Hummer EV electric pickup truck, which is why we were confused to learn the pickup launches for the 2022 model year but the companion SUV is a 2024 model. What gives? General Motors has been pushing this program hard, so any delay would be a setback. Hummer chief engineer Al Oppenheiser assured us there is no big delay, or a large gap, between the two Hummer EV launches. Instead, all Hummer EV SUV trims will be available for the 2024 model year, while the Hummer EV pickup rolls out its trim level over the course of three model years.

Caitlyn Jenner Considering Run for Governor of California
Caitlyn Jenner, the 1976 Olympic gold medalist and former reality TV star best known for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, is considering a run for Governor of California.
