GMC Reveals New Details About Its Other Electric Pickup, The Sierra EV

GMC has high hopes for the Hummer EV, but that isn’t the brand’s only upcoming electric pickup.

Last November, GM announced the Hummer would be joined by a more mainstream GMC full-size pickup. It’s slated to be a ‘professional grade’ version of the Chevrolet Silverado EV and the brand has revealed a little more about it during a media briefing.

While officials wouldn’t confirm whether or not it will be called the Sierra EV, Roadshow posted a teaser of the upcoming model and it looks quite a bit different than the Hummer EV. There isn’t much to see as the truck is covered by a sheet, but the model appears to be a single or double cab pickup with a bulging hood and a nearly vertical front fascia.

Little else is known about the truck, but MotorTrend reported it won’t be a hardcore off-roader like the Hummer EV. Of course, that’s not really surprising as the Sierra EV – or whatever it’s eventually called – is slated to be more mainstream and affordable.

GMC was tight-lipped about when the truck will be launched, but GM has previously announced plans to introduce 30 EVs globally by 2025. Several “key high-volume entries” will arrive by 2023, although it remains unclear if the Sierra EV is among them. That being said, GM has previously revealed four electric GMC models have been “pulled ahead” including a pickup by 40 months.

While the Sierra EV is likely a few years off, the GMC Hummer EV is slated to be launched this fall. It will be followed by the Hummer SUV in early 2023 and it’s possible the Silverado and Sierra EVs could share their powertrain with entry-level versions of the Hummers.

If that’s the case, they could potentially have a dual motor setup producing up to 625 hp (466 kW / 634 PS). Furthermore, like the Silverado EV, we can expect a range in excess of 400 miles (644 km).

Mark Wahlberg Buys Second Ohio GM Dealership, Renames It Mark Wahlberg Buick-GMC

Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg has diverted some of the revenue from his acting career into several business ventures, including a Chevrolet dealership he bought two years ago in Columbus, Ohio.

Now, it looks like Wahlberg has acquired a taste for GM car dealerships as he bought another one, a Buick-GMC store located right across the street from Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet.

As with the first acquisition, Wahlberg partnered with Michigan dealer Jay Feldman to purchase the Haydocy Buick-GMC dealership, which has been promptly renamed Mark Wahlberg Buick-GMC. The transaction also included an Airstream and RV dealership in Columbus, which from now on is known as Mark Wahlberg Airstream & RV.

“Columbus has been so welcoming and it just made sense to grow our automotive platform here,” Wahlberg said in a statement cited by AutoNews. “The Haydocy family has been wonderful to work with during this transition and Jay and I are looking forward to doing big things here,” the actor added.

Wahlberg’s associate Jay Feldman, who is CEO of Feldman Automotive Group, said that purchasing the Buick-GMC store across the street from Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet was “a perfect fit” and that they love the Columbus market.

Wahlberg and Feldman met in 2013 in Detroit while the actor was filming the fourth installment of the Transformers movie series. In addition to car dealerships, they also are business partners in several Wahlburgers restaurants. Wahlberg’s business portfolio also includes a movie production company, health and wellness company, and a water brand.
