Graphics on the massive digital dashboard screens feature lunar rover themes as well, and the signature Watts to Freedom launch control mode features audio built around a pre-launch countdown theme (unrelated to the scenario portrayed at the start of this post).

“Horizon” is highlighted by a Light Gray that’s a perfect color match to the full moon, while the Taupe of “Shadow” takes a more subtle approach, achieving a two-tone style without being flashy about it. The two-tone interior design themes, named “Lunar Horizon” and “Lunar Shadow,” feature the GM staple Jet Black color as a base and fascinating Tech Bronze accents, which recall the design of lunar landers and rovers. Interior and graphics designers took this association and ran with it. Internally, the engineering team – led by Al Oppenheiser, also responsible for the current Camaro ZL1 1LE – viewed the zero-emissions vehicle project as a “moonshot.”

The all-new GMC Hummer EV is not the world’s first electric pickup truck, but it does lay claim to the title of “first electric supertruck.” With huge power, long-range, ground-breaking tech and capability, plus quality to warrant the six-figure starting price, the 2022 Hummer EV Pickup is a revelation poised to dominate the upcoming wave of electric trucks from Tesla, Rivian, and even Ford. Are you going to the movies or headed for the Moon? In the GMC Hummer EV SUV and GMC Hummer EV Pickup, it feels like you could do either. You smile to yourself as you settle into cruising speed up ahead, up above, and all around, the cloudless sky is filled with endless stars.

“3, 2, 1, launch!” the voice declares, and you thank yourself for pulling up this fun little audio track and timing it up with the launch control feature on your brand-new GMC Hummer EV as you’re thrust back in your seat, blazing through 60 mph in under 4 seconds. “7, 6, 5, 4…” it continues, while your eyes scan around amidst the tension and you see the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility all around you. “Countdown to launch in T-minus 10, 9, 8…” it begins, as the immortal words of Neil Armstrong echo in your mind.
