What Happened To The Hummer?

Nathan the hero we need

And might revive as an electric car. But we'll see

🤔🤣🤣🤣🤤

no, it was horrible to drive, and unreliable.
that's bigger reason than it being gas guzzler.
there are many gas hog huge SUV's still around and selling well.

David Jacobs yeah it was replaced by the Gwagon

The MPG-7

Excellent.

Eh - my Hummer H1 gets about 14-15mpg on the highway. It's not great but it's definitely nowhere near the 10mpg listed above. The trick is to keep it around 65mph on the highway. Faster than that and it likes to overheat and efficiency drops due to the air vortex effect that the body shape produces in front of the truck.

VC Guerrilla LOL you won, I really hope this was original

Wow

yamabushi170 😂😂😂😂

Baaahahahahaahaaa 😂😂😭😭

she probably got hummered by the dealer

@@roahnosh BUDUMPUSSHT

lol

I see what you did there 😁

H2 would still work better

Lol

I actually saw a Prototype, but it had 7 MPG.

But why the 'O'

Later people realized they actually bought a hummer with extra financial obligations attached to it.

Lmfao!!!

Thought he was talking about a hammer

😭😭😭😭

Everybody get Down!

That shows the power of luck and hard work.

Arnold is one of a kind

And then banging a housekeeper

Yes, Schwarzenegger is an Austrian like some very famous people....

I mean it helped that he was a big buff white guy

I mean, the Wrangler sells pretty well, as do Land Rover vehicles, so maybe we have regressed a bit

Stupidity sells like hotcakes in America

Yep, you can actually go further, without damaging your vehicle paint, with a small suv. Of course, there is a place for the Hummer if there is room in the back for a bed, frig, etc. My huge F350 4x4 with flatbed camper can go a lot of places in comfort, but a lot of trails are too brushy or the limbs on trees too low for stress free driving. I'm getting pretty picky on which trails to tackle, but it is nice to be out exploring relatively inaccessible areas without worrying about getting stuck or finding a place to camp. No such thing as an all-around perfect off-road vehicle. All depends on what you want to do and what your'e willing not to do; what you need and what you're willing to do without.

There called Prius tampons on wheels

rick hunter the hummer? I can agree.

I wanna go out on a limb and say the civilian version drove waaaaay better then the military's version .

I was based in west Germany with the british army in the 80s when I first came across the humvee, we were handing over our barracks to a us army unit ,they first sent a couple of Humvees, I spoke to one of the drivers and he showed me what it could do...I was impressed

Donald Kasper You don’t get it.

They had to sell their car for gas money

Mark Ward That still adds up, regardless it’s not cheap

and Kalifornia tax!!

its a joke .....

I know and today you almost never see them anymore.. Where did they all go?

I’ve been in a stretched hummer limo! Idk why but I loved it as a kid

You saw the H2 and H3 all over the place. It was rare to spot an H1 outside of southern California.

Still have my H2..love it and has only 47,000 miles. Was the personal Hummer of GM CEO.Values are way up on low mileage, no damage Hummers...

My JROTC teacher has one

@Jan van Coppenhagen nah bro he is right, other wise Mercedes wouldn't be selling the g class SUV 8cylinder bi-turbo.

lol consider the image on both cars, the hummer will always be a dumbed down military vehicle

@@GloomGaiGar lol imagine if the word innovation literally ment to introduce something new....

No. The biggest mistake they did was that they separately made a civilian version! All they need to do to make it success was just made the purest mil-spec HUMVEE (well may be a different engine in order to fulfil the emission requirements) and sell it all over the world!

The H3 is great actually...i hardly feel the road, mine has sterring assist and electronic braking and i actually feel safe driving it unlike my convertible mustang haha

slow GM is slow

And then GMC Hummer came back from the grave

Uhohhotdog Gaming my mom dated a guy who worked for a company that bought them as work vehicles (like right before the recession so they quickly went into the red) but the company filled his up about 5-6 times a day. They drove cross state for 9 hours and half of that is up hill and in thick traffic.

I've driven these quite a bit they were originally designed to run on diesel and the gas mileage seems to favor that i would I fill up once a day driving about 50 miles a day

@@tb4670 50 miles for full tank of H2? it was 32 gallons tank. you mean 1.5 mpg? i suggest look for leaks in your gas tank

It's still here.
How is a Hummer different then all the 4 door 4x4 full size pickup trucks on the road?
Same V8 engines and drivetrain. krplus.net/bidio/dbKLemGmh5y2Xpw

Nowadays people favour slightly more metrosexual G-wagon

Manuel Rodriguez the H1 was cool

like everything they do

Don't buy GM or really any American car lol

@@paulwilliams2024 Agreed. I remember seeing one at a Monster Truck show that also had some kind of autocross thing (washboard bumps and jumps and such). People brought out their custom trucks with no quarter panels and huge positive camber and ran the course. Then the local dealer brought out a stock H1 and ran the course, and smoked them all.

@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 there are plenty of good American cars. Where else are you going to buy a truck from?

The Electric Hummer is happening

All alluminum Body Hummer with the GM 6.6 new gasser v8 or premium 6.6 Duramax Diesel. I bet it would make a great come back!

Putting Duramax 3.0 Inline 6 in Hummer with 460 lbs-ft of Torque and enjoy 30 mpg.

hummer is not coming back, Plus people used it to brag in front of people

Artem Magdanovich Kostrichkin that was definitely true when the hummers were hot but now not all of us drive them cause we care what others think i use mine off road as well as it has 37” mts stock height and still pulls 14mpg locking transfercase and locking rear with an all wheel drive at al times cant go wrong for a large spacious family truck my 08 also fits 7 people very comfortably

It's coming back in 2022 as a line of electric trucks and pickups.

The high price tag was originally a part of the lure. It was a status symbol

Nah. It was GMs notoriously atrocious build quality, an issue that continues today.

It was originally meant to be a military vehicle big and heavy enough to withstand RPGs and 50 cals while also being able to go anywhere.
They took off the heavy armour for civilian version but still that sort of thing is not cheap to build.

I kept waiting for the loss making perfume. I read that the perfume was kept by GM as a way to keep the trademark.

ricardo howell not at all it was how gm destroyed the brand less efficient vehicles sell today just fine

Alexandros Theodorou you obviously missed the part where they already talked about what you just said in the video lol 😂

The actual Hummer, the H1 is a diesel. Very few could afford a REAL hummer. The real Hummer isn't really road worthy.

@@owenbunny4023 mostly size and interior. Military issue is a beast with a clean spartan interior and canvas seats, the civilian one is sort of like a luxury vehicle with all the doo dads and leather. 😂

ThirtyFiveEDU not really, this is a very common misconception. The frame on both the H2 and H3 are only based on the Tahoe and Colorado design, they aren’t the same. The frame is larger and thicker. The H3 uses a leaf spring suspension for the rear. They share just enough parts to keep them running, other then that they very different.

They should bring it back but less gimmick, ls motor, and make it as durable and reliable that will sell like hotcakes especially in texas and will compete with the raptor

@@hummerskickass H2 is a GMT800 derivative using 2500 heavy duty front and 1500 rear with a newly designed middle. The H3 is based off the GMT345 chassis

That’s a very real factor that they didn’t discuss in the video. The image of the car was essentially ruined.

Yeah but thats not why im here....

Yea hahaha

More like the other way around

designers denied any Halo references when this concept was presented in 2008 - www.wired.com/2008/02/qa-with-young-gun-behind-hummers-eco-friendlier-hx/

lol i though the same. Doesn't look identical but fairly close.
@@GURken , the person that was getting questions from Wired denied (he) made the design on purpose to look like the Warthog from HALO. But Wired replied that the other peoples working on the design at GM all play HALO...
"Wired: GM brass deny it, but you’ve got to admit the HX looks a lot like the Warthog."
"Rojas: (Laughs) Everybody says that, [...] I don’t even own an Xbox. It’s coincidental."
"Wired: That’s funny, because Carl Zipfel (director of the Hummer Design Studio) has said everyone who worked on the project plays Halo."

The car looks soooo good!

@@TwinShards Not really close. In car land this is like pretty far apart for a vehicle that would fit in the same category especially because the Warthog is an art piece for a game aesthetic and the Hummer is designing around the same limitations every other truck does.The front end is completely different because the Warthog runs on magic. There's no grill, or radiator. The windshield is raked way forward / curved more. There are no skid plates. The whole front end is just one big fender flare because the suspension and tow cables / hooks are made gigantic to show better in game. The back is kinda the same deal. The Warthog looks more like a Meyers Manx in the front because that doesn't have a front motor. The Hummer concept with that almost fastback design is years after the Jeepster concept in the 90's but it has way more in common with what actual trucks are doing. The Warthog stole the asymmetrical rim style from the Hummer though.

I do

Bongo Cat lol

I'm pretty sure I still have mine

Imagine that in all electric ⚡️ they would sell it in huge numbers.

The emissions system tyat modern diesels have are terrible

Great idea!

@@wildberry752 Tell that to all these skinny, gawky, teenagers that worship diesel pickup trucks...

No, it’s not. Diesel is super dirty. The hummer is not suitable for the roads, an oversized aggressive guzzler.

You can tell who drives a truck, and who drives a minivan in here.

Electric is the key.

Of the past two decades. Don't forget that distinctiveness plays a role too. I don't think that my mom would be able to distinguish between a Camaro and Mustang, by I can guarantee you that she could sort a Hummer, Beetle, and Prius from every other car on the market, no problem.

I hate crossovers so much😂 it’s like it’s a car trying to be some thing it’s not and failing at nearly everything

I live in Alabama and you see the box of wine swilling soccer moms popping adderall driving the crossovers. They've been downgraded from the Hummers, Armadas, and Suburbans🤣 Our curbs are all scratched up and there have been many dented garage doors🤣🤣🤣🤣

Idk the 4Runner sells about 130,000 units a year, it’s doing pretty well. Granted not a full-size SUV like that of a Tahoe or Escalade, which do about half that, it’s still a true body on frame SUV.

OfficialEpic222 the 4 runner is not a crossover it’s a “small” suv but still a real one

Jeff Anderson That’s what I said... It’s a body on frame SUV.

Isn't that a Cybertruck?

@@chubs2312 the original Hummer was bigger even than a CYBERTRUCK

Booo electrics

Thats what there doing

GM is planning to do that. Then it will be a Watt Hog instead of a Gas Hog. Very poor.

Pretty sure they're working on it

Ford is coming out with an all electric mustang so who knows it’s possible

Still sad gm mishandled that division. Oldsmobile has always been my favorite. Have owned quite a few and my current project is a 69 Cutlass with a 455!

Jordan Zekoff my dad has a 98 intrigue (the only year with the 3.8) and it was a fantastic car

I've seen a couple of the original Hummers in person, and from a civilian perspective, the interior space doesn't work well for civilian use.
Then there's the matter if there's a flat-tire, which I've seen a Hummer on the side of the road with a flat years ago. The tire and wheel assembly weight doesn't make for an easy roadside replacement task.

You are all of us

Same

I have never even once wanted to be seen in a hummer. But to each his own.

I'm sure it was everyone's childhood lol but now I wouldn't ever have one. I live in a small town in the UK and I had a hummer parked right outside my house recently, literally 5 feet away from my living room window (I have no driveway and small garden) and I was like get the f out of my view loool was a ugly old black hummer

Maybe between 5 and 10 feet

Jake Stoler crossovers...the world is obsessed with crossovers. True SUVs are nearly dead

Nic Vincent not necessarily, the 4runner for example sold more units in the past couple years than it did pretty much since its release. Tahoe navigator escalade yukon lexus gx/lx etc are all selling well too. It’s not that we dont like true SUVs anymore, there just arent many options, but the ones that exist are doing just fine.

Out of the ones you named, the 4Runner is the only one I’d consider taking off-road (assuming we’re just talking about current models.) Now all are ok for overlanding. But I like rock crawling in my H3. It’d take a lot of work and money to make a 4Runner a decent crawler. The others wouldn’t cut it at all. I think the Tahoe might be the only one that still can be bought with 4x4? The rest are all wheel drive...which is for on-road handling, not off-roading

Nic Vincent you can get expedition, tahoe, yukon have off road packs that have 4hi and 4 lo. All toyota and lexus body on frame suvs come standard with it.
While that may be the case for your personal situation, that’s not my point. My point is that body on frame suvs are selling well, and if hummer was brought back it would sell well too - plus they have the nostalgia factor of the good old days pre-2008 recession.

Jake Stoler I get you. Not trying to start an argument. It makes sense for all of those to have 4wd since they’re pretty much the same as their respective maker’s pick up trucks. And I do agree with your point, they are selling well. I just feel all we really have are trucks and crossovers. The only real SUVs these days are jeeps and 4runners lol just my opinion. I’d like to see the FJ return and for Nissan to get back into the rugged SUV market. In a perfect world, every brand would have a dedicated off-roader 😁

You literally have no clue what you’re talking about. Why are you commenting with zero knowledge? The H3 is 100% proven to be incredibly reliable (many many examples over 200k miles still on the road), good mpg for its class ( 15-18 mpg combined), and no off road rivals except for, specifically, the Rubicon version of the Jeep. Mind you I am referring to the adventure pkg equipped model with the 5 cyl (yes it has a 5 cylinder motor... whaaaaat, I know right! Hurray for knowledge!) .
