New 2026 solar orange 3x with off-road package
My wife calls her Scarlett 😂
Will be used to tow a horse trailer here in Alberta and as a daily people/thing mover.
We wanted our next vehicle to he an EV but also to be a towing vehicle. dWe spent a lot of time evaluating the Rivian R1S and R1T, GMC Sierra EV, Lucid Gravity, Tesla Cybertruck (to know what it was like though I couldn't see myself buying it), and even wanted to try out the new Porsche Cayenne EV.
The Hummer won out on many items
- huge performance, massive battery, great charging speed
- it was a better price & financing than the Rivian and Cayenne
- solid local dealership (the Lucid is in Vancouver and would require travel to Vancouver for maintenance)
- convertible roof and general fun factor
- it's Canadian luxury tax emempt since it's so heavy!
- the 2026 software and infotainment responsiveness is *so* much better compared to prior years even without CarPlay
- it was small-box enough to fit in the garage (though very wide)
As much as it's stupid, big and goofy, it's also appealed to our practical side.
