By Jill Ciminillo Published: 2021-07-20T14:37:37+00:00 Updated: 2025-07-23T15:16:05+00:00 ![Featured image]() With the recent EV news smashing into the full-size pickup truck lineup – the latest announcement of which centered around [an electric Ram 1500]() – it’s normal that questions would be swirling around a potential GMC electric pickup truck. I mean [Chevrolet is getting one](), so it just makes sense, right? Plus, General Motors had previously announced plans to [get rid of all light-duty vehicles with tailpipe emissions]() by 2035. So, we knew it was some kind of nebulous plan for the distant future. Well, [according to Automotive News]() (subscription required), it is happening – and probably sooner than we thought. We just don’t know exactly when. Or what it will be called. Or, well, anything. As *Automotive News* reported, Duncan Aldred, vice president of global Buick and GMC said a full-size GMC electric pickup truck would arrive in “due course.” While we don’t know anything concrete, we can make a few assumptions based on previously released info on the electric Silverado: - It will likely be built at [Factory Zero](). - It will also share the [GMC Hummer EV]() platform with an Ultium battery. - It will have a 400+ mile range. As for timing, I can’t imagine GMC would want to steal any thunder from the Hummer EV launch, which happens in early 2023, so perhaps late 2023 or early 2024? ### **The bottom line on a GMC electric pickup truck** Frankly, I think this is a no brainer. Yes, GMC is getting the Hummer EV pickup truck, and Chevy isn’t. But for those GMC loyalists who want an electric pickup truck but can’t afford or don’t want a Hummer – what? They’re going to send them to Chevrolet or (gasp!) Ford or Ram? I don’t think so. Now the cat’s out of the bag, expect more GMC EV news soon. **Related posts:** - [Chevy Silverado EV bests GMC Hummer EV range; 3 other things to know]() - [Ram 1500 electric pickup truck on its way]() - [2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV: 4 things to know]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/" }, "author": { "name": "Jill Ciminillo", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/17a307b2bd8654a0efc57d38f2e79df8" }, "headline": "Will GMC get a full-size electric pickup truck, too?", "datePublished": "2021-07-20T14:37:37+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:16:05+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/" }, "wordCount": 336, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2022-GMC-HUMMER-EV-Ultium-053.jpg", "keywords": [ "gmc electric pickup truck", "GMC Sierra E", "GMC Sierra EV" ], "articleSection": [ "News" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/", "name": "Will GMC get a full-size electric pickup truck, too?", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2022-GMC-HUMMER-EV-Ultium-053.jpg", "datePublished": "2021-07-20T14:37:37+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:16:05+00:00", "description": "Though nothing has been officially announced, GMC exec has revealed that an electric pickup truck will be coming in \"due course.\"", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/#breadcrumb" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "ReadAction", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/" ] } ] }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "inLanguage": "en-US", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/07/will-gmc-get-a-full-size-electric-pickup-truck-too/#primaryimage", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2022-GMC-HUMMER-EV-Ultium-053.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2022-GMC-HUMMER-EV-Ultium-053.jpg", "width": 1000, "height": 563, "caption": "Driven by next-generation EV propulsion technology, the GMC HUMMER EV will be the first fully electric addition to GMC’s lineup and will bring GM another step closer to an all-electric future.
