What’s the Truck in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0?

If you’re guessing that the electric pickup truck in the two latest Call of Duty editions is the GMC Hummer EV, you’re right. Regarded as the first all-electric super truck in the world, the Hummer EV revolutionized the pickup truck segment with its tremendous power and capabilities. Now, it has brought those capabilities to the Call of Duty franchise.

Since October 28, 2022, gamers worldwide have been able to drive the all-electric Hummer in Modern Warfare II, the first video game to feature the groundbreaking truck. Subsequently, the pickup truck was added to the selection of vehicles available in Warzone 2.0, released on November 16, 2022.

In a unique collaboration between the Call of Duty video game franchise and GMC, the Hummer EV brings super real-world capabilities to a playable in-game version that transports squad members with unparalleled speed and stealth. It provides a new game-play dynamic that will take your experience to another level.

Everything You Need to Know About the GMC Hummer EV Truck

The 2023 GMC Hummer EV is a pickup truck like no other. It distinguishes itself from other trucks with its reimagined exterior styling and refined interior to its off-road performance and fuel economy.

The Hummer EV pickup makes a striking statement on the road with its gargantuan size and menacing, no-nonsense appearance. It looks both familiar and modern as it combines the design heritage of the now-defunct Hummer brand with a futuristic style. Its tall and wide body, huge off-road tires, and chunky fender flares and skid plates reflect its adventurous personality, while its narrow seven-slot grille and headlights add a sleek and dynamic touch. If you want a truck that turns heads, this GMC truck is an ideal choice.

Besides being a great-looking truck, the Hummer EV delivers incredible performance with its tri-motor setup and advanced Ultium battery. This powertrain serves up a whopping 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, which is enough for a mind-blowing zero-to-60-mph time in 3 seconds. It also enables the truck to tow up to 7,500 pounds and haul up to 1,300 pounds. According to GMC, the Hummer EV can travel a maximum distance of 329 miles on a full charge. If you recharge the battery with a DC fast charger, you can replenish 100 miles of range in 10 minutes.

Although it’s a massive vehicle, the Hummer EV is surprisingly easy to drive. Thanks to its precise, four-wheel steering system, the truck is a breeze to navigate through congested traffic, narrow streets, and country back roads. It’s equipped with adaptive air suspension that can smooth out uneven surfaces and stay well-planted around corners, resulting in a remarkably composed ride.

While it performs exceedingly well on the pavement, the Hummer EV is in its element off-road. It backs up its rugged looks with high ground clearance and short approach and departure angles, which help it easily climb through the underbrush and other obstacles. It also offers two electronic off-road driving modes that optimize the throttle and steering response for different conditions.

The interior of the Hummer EV impresses with its impeccable fit and finish, offering an abundance of premium-quality materials. It boasts cushy and supportive seats that provide ample legroom for adults of most sizes. Front passengers can stretch out with 45.6 inches of legroom, while those in the rear seats get 38.9 inches. Because of its high seating position, the Hummer pickup offers a commanding view of the road ahead.

The Hummer EV doesn’t disappoint with its groundbreaking technology. This super truck keeps you and your passengers connected and entertained with its intuitive and feature-rich infotainment system. This system includes a large 13.4-inch touch-screen display, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 14-speaker Bose audio system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.

An Overview of Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a reboot sequel to the 2019 game of the same name, and it is the 19th installment in the Call of Duty series. In this first-person shooting game, the campaign follows a multinational special forces unit called Task Force 141 as they attempt to track down Iranian terrorist Hassan Zyani. The game takes place in a variety of real and fictional locations, ranging from the United States-Mexico border to the imaginary capital city of Al Mazrah.

Besides the main campaign, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II also includes a free-to-play game called Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, which is a sequel to Call of Duty: Warzone. The primary game mode of Warzone 2.0 is Battle Royale, which pits players against one another on a desert-themed map. The playable area keeps shrinking as more participants are eliminated, and the last surviving player will be declared the winner.
