Famous tech YouTuber MKBHD (aka Marcus Brownlee) was recently given a GMC Hummer EV for a week. During that time he had the chance to find out what the 9,063 lb pickup was like to live with on a daily basis.

MKBHD first mentioned the Hummer EV's weight. It equates to roughly three Honda Civics and features a ginormous 212 kWh battery pack. Its sheer mass means it's actually not allowed to drive down some roads, with it being in the same weight class as a semi-truck in certain areas. Finding parking can also be a challenge, you'll often be very close to at least one car on either side of you.

The GMC Hummer EV unsurprisingly has plenty of storage space. Although not as big as the F-150 Lightning's, its front truck (or "frunk") is still massive. MKBHD noted how he can fit three or four duffel bags in it. The 5-foot long bed is competitive with rivals and features plenty of sockets and even a speaker.

Inside you certainly notice the Hummer's size, with its remarkably wide cabin and thick doors. The infotainment system is super responsive, meanwhile you get plenty of physical buttons. There are also lots of cool graphics in each menu, which shouldn't come as a surprise given the Hummer EV's software was developed by Epic Games. Rear passengers get loads of leg room meanwhile the removable glass panels are a nice feature.
