For better stopping power the Hummer EV Pickup’s front brake rotors are larger than those on the Silverado Limited:

	Hummer EV Pickup	Silverado Limited
Front Rotors	14 inches	13.5 inches

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Hummer EV Pickup has larger tires than the Silverado Limited (305/70R18 vs. 255/70R17). The Hummer EV Pickup 2X/3X’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Silverado Limited (305/70R18 vs. 275/60R20).

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Hummer EV Pickup 2X/3X has standard 18-inch wheels. Smaller 17-inch wheels are standard on the Silverado Limited.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup’s wheels have 8 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength. The Chevrolet Silverado Limited only has 6 wheel lugs per wheel.

Suspension and Handling

For superior ride and handling, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup has fully independent front and rear suspensions. An independent suspension allows the wheels to follow the road at the best angle for gripping the pavement, without compromising ride comfort. The Chevrolet Silverado Limited has a solid rear axle, with a non-independent rear suspension.

The Hummer EV Pickup has standard front and rear stabilizer bars, which help keep the Hummer EV Pickup flat and controlled during cornering. The Silverado Limited’s suspension doesn’t offer a rear stabilizer bar.

The front and rear suspension of the Hummer EV Pickup uses coil springs for better ride, handling and control than the Silverado Limited, which uses leaf springs in the rear. Coil springs compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.

The Hummer EV Pickup 2X/3X has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The Hummer EV Pickup’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The Silverado Limited doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

The Hummer EV Pickup’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (50% to 50%) than the Silverado Limited’s (57.4% to 42.6%). This gives the Hummer EV Pickup more stable handling and braking.

The front grille of the Hummer EV Pickup uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Silverado Limited doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Cargo Capacity

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup has a standard EZ Lift Tailgate, which prevents the heavy tailgate from falling with a crash and causing injury. It allows adults and children to easily open and close the tailgate with one hand to better facilitate loading and unloading. Tailgate assist costs extra on the Chevrolet Silverado Limited.

Towing

The Hummer EV Pickup’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the Silverado Limited’s (7500 vs. 7400 pounds).

The Hummer EV Pickup’s standard power locks allow the driver or passenger to lock or unlock all the doors at a touch without leaning over, or reaching to the back seat. Power locks cost extra on the Silverado Limited.

The Hummer EV Pickup’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Silverado Limited’s manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

The Hummer EV Pickup’s LED headlights produce a whiter, brighter light (up to 3x) using five times less power than the Silverado Limited’s standard halogen headlights. LED lights also light instantly and last over twenty times longer than halogen.

The Hummer EV Pickup has standard power remote mirrors. The Silverado Limited only comes with remote mirrors at extra cost. Without them the driver will have to roll down the windows and reach across the car to adjust the mirrors.

The Hummer EV Pickup’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Chevrolet charges extra for heated mirrors on the Silverado Limited.

The Hummer EV Pickup has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel is only available on the Silverado Limited LT/RST/LTZ/High Country.

The Hummer EV Pickup has a standard center folding armrest for the driver and front passenger. A center armrest helps combat driver fatigue. The Silverado Limited Work Truck doesn’t offer a front seat center armrest.

The Hummer EV Pickup has a standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. Dual zone air conditioning is only available on the Silverado Limited LT/RST/LTZ/High Country.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console.
