A coworker if mine just bought a Hummer 2X. Looks really nice but I didn't have a chance to speak with him yet, so I did some research. My 2023 Lariat ER has 580 HP compared to his 570 HP, yet, take a look at these torque specs. Is this a typo? Google AI came up with this passage about the torque difference...

"When comparing torque between a 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning with the extended range battery and a GMC Hummer EV 2X, the Hummer has significantly more torque, with the Lightning producing 775 lb-ft of torque while the Hummer 2X delivers 7,400 lb-ft of torque; making the Hummer significantly more powerful in terms of torque despite having less horsepower overall."

7,400 lb-ft of torque? That just doesn't sound right. This is the lower HP hummer. The 3 motor version produces 830 HP!! Can this be a real torque spec?

The lightning has over 7500 ft lbs of torque.

These numbers are achieved by taking the motor torque and multiplying by the gear ratio of the drive.

Misleading, yes, big numbers gooder.

Sounds like Ai is off by a factor or 10 for the Hummer Tq.

That's what I thought, but going to Hummer site, they tout the same torque spec figures. It just doesn't make sense.... that's why I started this thread, to see what you guys think about these claims.
