I have a 2024 2X SUV with extreme off road. There is really very little info on these vehicles configured this way. Is the output higher since it has WTF? What is the 0-60 time with this configuration? Anybody have info?

Found this article for you, hope it helps: https://www.gmc.com/support/vehicle/driving-safety/ev-driving/watts-to-freedom
Watts to Freedom† is a unique mode found on GMC HUMMER EV models that enables peak torque for a short time, enabling very fast acceleration. It is designed for use only in closed courses during optimal driving conditions. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that driving style and acceleration do not endanger or inconvenience other road users.
For detailed information on engaging this feature, see your Owner's Manual.
To ensure you are deliberately engaging the feature, Watts to Freedom requires several steps to engage. Follow these steps to enter the mode:
4. Once you confirm that you want to enter Watts to Freedom, your vehicle will begin to lower.
a. While lowering, it will change settings for the shock absorbers, accelerator and cooling system to adjust to the enhanced torque the mode offers.
b. You will see an animation on your display as well as a Torque Gauge Capability graphic, which indicates the vehicle’s readiness for enhanced torque output. You will see the bars atop this graphic fill as your vehicle conditions itself for enhanced torque output. Once the bar is full, you will have access to full torque.
c. The orange bar in the middle of the screen shows the amount of torque available at the current moment. The blue bars represent your vehicle's progress toward activating the Watts to Freedom feature.
5. You will then see a prompt on the display that instructs you how to brake to start the Watts to Freedom sequence.
a. Use your left foot to press the brake pedal with the appropriate pressure to proceed to the next prompt.
6. While you’re holding the brake pedal down, you’ll see a similar prompt for the accelerator. Use your right foot to press the accelerator pedal to the floor to confirm this prompt. When you do, you’ll hear a ramp-up sound that sounds like an engine hitting its revolutions per minute limit.
7. The infotainment screen will then prompt you to release the brake pedal. WARNING: As soon as you do this, the vehicle will launch into an extremely fast acceleration.
8. The vehicle will then accelerate rapidly. You will see your Torque Gauge fill up and see a message indicating the level of acceleration you're experiencing. Maximum torque output will disengage if you exert any significant steering input or experience a stability control event. The feature's state will return to step 5, detailed above. You will be able to reengage acceleration after following the engagement steps again.
9. To slow your vehicle after the acceleration event begins, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal.
b. Pressing the StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control button.
c. Turning the vehicle off.

Thanks. I've seen all this. And I've l
Used WTF already. My question is since the 2x equipped with extreme off road has WTF but the 2x without does not, is output different on 2X with extreme off road?
