Hummer EV: Off-Road Supertruck
We got to spend two days in Phoenix, Arizona, with the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 truck at the media drive event. Not only did we get to play with it off-road in the desert for a few hours, but we also experienced it on two groomed off-road courses, a small drag strip, and a variety of roads, from city streets to an interstate highway. In that time, we played with all the buttons, sat in all the seats, crawled in and under it, and spoke with its designers and engineers about all the details of what GMC calls the first “supertruck.” We learned a lot about its off-road and overland worthiness through this experience. Let’s dive in.
Get the most of your truck or SUV by swapping out those stock wheels with an aftermarket set of rollers that can provide your ride with enhanced performance and durability as well as a fresh new look. Whether your 4×4 is brand new off the showroom floor or has been crawling the trails for the better part of a decade, a tough new set of wheels can really amp up its look. To get started, we gathered some of the latest releases for you to check out. Which set will you choose?

Nothing beats time spent outdoors with the family. It’s the perfect time for bonding, connecting with nature, and disconnecting from everything else. Whether it’s sharing stories around the warmth of a campfire, hiking in nature, or teaching the kids new skills, the time spent in the great outdoors can provide life-long memories. If you’re car camping or simply enjoying quality time with the family, having the right family gear will help during both the car ride and the time spent in the outdoors.
It’s been a while since we ran a refresher course on overlanding for beginners, especially about the very first things we recommend doing to upgrade your vehicle into a serious overlanding rig. Vehicle upgrades for beginner overlanders can be tough to navigate, but there are several ways to make your 4×4 more capable by incorporating a few basic upgrades to set you up for off-roading success. These upgrades can help you gain traction, protect your vehicle from trail damage, and help you recover yourself, or others, when someone gets stuck.
