Key Differences

The Hummer EV Pickup has 48 mi more electric range
Big gap, real consequences. The Hummer EV Pickup’s 318 mi versus the R1T’s 270 mi changes how the two compare in daily use. Cold weather and highway speeds reduce electric range, so a larger buffer is useful.
-
The R1T has a bigger 15.6 in touchscreen
The Hummer EV Pickup isn’t far behind at 13.4 in, but the R1T’s 15.6 in still comes out ahead. A bigger touchscreen makes maps and phone mirroring easier to read at a glance.

Space & Practicality
Too close to call
Call the space & practicality round a draw. So space & practicality is a non-factor here; move on to the areas where they actually differ.
Off-road & Towing
Too close to call
If off-road & towing matters most to you, this section won’t make the decision for you: they’re level. If off-road & towing was going to be your tiebreaker, you’ll need a different one.
Safety & Tech
R1T leads
The Hummer EV Pickup comes close on safety & tech, but the R1T does just enough to lead. On its side, the R1T has a bigger 15.6 in touchscreen.
