TFL runs on Sinclair fuel and so should you. Download the Sinclair DINOPAY app and start saving $0.10 or more per gallon on your next fill-up. ( www.sinclairoil.com/customers/dinopay-app )

We've tested electric versus gas, but how will the GMC Hummer EV fare against a heavy-duty turbodiesel truck? In this test, Andre and Kase test just how far each truck can go on a charge/tank.

The more you guys test electric vehicles, the more I want to keep buying gas/diesel

The Ram can tow both trailers and the Hummer without breaking a sweat.

Diesel did not even have to drop his load to re-fuel.... Simply superior

Do a cross country pull and see how long it takes each vehicle.

Thats awesome the charge was free, but let's use the numbers to find out the future cost. The Hummer charged from 7% to 51% for $37.41 according to the EA charger. So $0.85 for each 1%. At that rate it would cost $79 to charge the Hummer to 100%. Hummer cost per mile: $79 ÷ 123 miles = $0.64 per mile. Cummins cost per mile: $105 ÷ 211 miles = $0.49 per mile

123 miles with an empty trailer and no gear! $115k not me any time soon. Great video

You should also consider how much fuel was burned by the power-plant in order to charge that electric truck-thing.

I know my driving experience is more mixed than some as I have driven OTR semi-truck units and regular gas vans and cars for different jobs. I had one job that took me from Peru, Indiana to Hickman, Kentucky. I gassed up in Hickman, Kentucky (picking up a semi driver) and drove to the Flying J Truck stop in Effingham, Illinois (where the truck was supposed to be) then to the TA Travel Center in Clayton, Indiana (where the truck was actually left). Roughly 331 miles in a 1977 Chevy Monte Carlo with a small block 308 (yes the engine had been replaced by a previous owner) on 3/4 of a tank for a 19 to 20-gallon gas tank. I had to use my PV as there were no company vans in northern Indiana to get this driver, I made some good money for that trip and the company paid for the gas. It's amazing what a little TLC and new spark plugs can do for fuel mileage at times.

I would love you guys to do a tow test in Canada with this electric vs diesel in our actual winter temps. -20 to -40 degree temps and see that 125 miles shrink down to 75 miles.

These electric trucks have been nothing but disappointments. The Lightning was pretty horrible at everything and the Hummer has been pretty bad too so far. Let's be real, these electric trucks are for people who just drive to the office and Starbucks and don't really need a truck in the first place.

I wish you would have done this test up the hill on I-70 like the rest of your tests.

0.25m/kWh diesel vs 0.6m/kWh hummer EV is actually pretty spot on for diesel engine thermal efficiency of around 40%

If you want to do any long distance towing with electric trucks, the bed of the truck is so you can bring a big generator. The frunk is for all of the fuel cans you’ll need.

I would go with the Ram! I could fill up about 450+ times with the money saved in the purchase price between the two trucks not to mention the time saved at each fill up! You have to love the Ram!

Nicely done. Straightforward comparison and very interesting. The math review was perfect. I have driven that route many times. I was surprised by the low payload on the Hummer. My previous truck, a GMC Canyon Denali, has about the same payload. I ran the numbers and decided I needed a new Silverado with 500 lbs. more payload for our camper. I went with gas, but I really like the Duramax.

Battery tech isn't there yet. Hard to beat the stored energy of diesel. Maybe once little reactors are under the hood.

The Ram costs half as much. The Ram diesel has 2.5x the range. The Ram can fill up completely in 10 minutes. The Ram can pull in and pull out to fill up. The Ram does not need to un-hook and re-hook the trailer for fueling. The EV pumps, if occupied already, may take awhile to be free for use.

At this point owning a Hummer is more like a hobby than anything else.

Another hilarious electric vehicle video! Why Next time, just put a big honkin’ diesel generator in the trailer with 20 extra gallons and charge the Dummer along the side of the road while you take a nice long long nap (earplugs sold separately). That way you don’t have to unhook the trailer and go the opposite direction from what you intended. Or take the $60,000 saved from buying the diesel to pay for 400 fill-ups of $150 each. 100,000 free miles!
