Lordstown's chassis engineers have done their job, so it's not immediately evident how much mass is moving up and down under each corner.

Added to the weight of the wheels and tires they propel, that’s likely more unsprung weight than any other light-duty vehicle on the road. But rather than two motors, one each between the front and the rear wheels, the Endurance uses four liquid-cooled hub motors. Most EVs are close to 50-50 front to rear, as this one is. That may be due to the all-wheel-drive truck's unusual weight distribution. We doubt Sport mode will be important to companies who want their drivers to get the most miles out of fleet trucks using the least electricity. Drivers can select a Sport mode too, which gives more abrupt accelerator response and aggressive regen with transitions that felt much jerkier. One-pedal driving is the default mode, though it can be switched off, and Lordstown has tuned its regenerative braking well. Speed is capped at 75 mph-a challenge when you're trying to navigate fast, aggressive Detroit-area freeway traffic. In its Normal mode, the truck accelerates swiftly but without the kidney punch of a GMC Hummer EV or a Tesla. The four motors' horsepower and torque outputs are not yet finalized, but the company is estimating 440 horses from those motors, one at each wheel.

The trucks we drove lacked both navigation and smartphone mirroring via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. 2024 GMC Sierra EV Is a Less Extreme Hummer EVīehind the wheel, the rectangular digital instrument cluster and center touchscreen have big, clear, easy-to-read graphics.
