At 3700RPM, the engine is making 184lb-ft of torque. 184lb-ft through first gear is bumped to 668lb-ft through the 3.63 first gear. Through the 4.44 final drive, that gets bumped to 2,965lb-ft.
The Hummer EV claims 11,500lb-ft at the wheels. A 3500HD makes 14,129lb-ft at the wheels.
The graph I made is a good way to normalize gear ratios and torque curves for different vehicles.
