2025 GMC Hummer EV

Unsurprisingly, the 2025 GMC Hummer EV comes with an off-road pedigree worthy of its namesake. When selecting the Extreme Off-Road Package, the Hummer EV comes fit with locking front and rear differentials (the rear is “virtual”), rugged skid plates, and 35-inch all-terrain tires (with room for 37’s). Thanks to the electric pickup’s innovative rear steering, it also manages its way down tight and windy trails that otherwise would be impossible for a vehicle of its stature to pass through. Of course, having 1,000 horsepower on tap doesn’t hurt, either.

Base Price $99,045 (EV2x), $107,145 (EV3x)
Motors 1 front 1 rear (EV2x), 1 front 2 rear (EV3x), permanent magnet electric

An off-road-tuned suspension gains 0.8 inches of ride height with all-terrain tires stuffed in the wheel wells.

2025 Ford Ranger Raptor

Ford Raptor enthusiasts have spent years clamoring for a midsize version of the company’s legendary off-road racer. In 2024 the company finally delivered.

The Ranger Raptor is powered by a modified Bronco Raptor 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine. The Ranger version puts out 405 hp and 430 lb-ft. The pickup also uses a modified Bronco Raptor transfer case and front locking differential, plus the same locking rear differential. It boasts 10.7 inches of ground clearance plus an additional 1.4 and 2.7 inches of suspension travel front and rear making for 10.0 inches total in front and 11.5 inches in the rear. New upper and lower aluminum front control arms add 3.5 inches to the front track and the upper shock mount is revised. The rear suspension gets the F-150 Raptor treatment, ditching the leaf springs for radius arms.

Further aiding the cause are a set of BFGoodrich’s new 33-inch All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires, a live rear axle with Watts linkage, 2.5-inch Fox Live Valve Internal Bypass electronically controlled shocks all around including front coilovers, and steel skidplates.
