The most off roading these cars will do will be speed bumps at mall parking lots. Can't wait to see the next attention grabber using crabwalk at the mall.
If it didn't have the price tag of $100k or damn near, I'd disagree with you. But nobody is gonna spend that kind of money on an off raoder. It might get some use down a dirt road to a gravel trail to a lookout point for a sunset selfie for instagram
this doesn't seem very "off roady" for an off road vehicle. Its got lots of gimmicks, but lets be honest. This car will mostly be bought by people that will never see off road.
Are off road vehicles these days really driven off road? I'm sure there are some, but most of the time, its 1% of the time. Real off road drivers would never buy this anyway. They'd get some Jeep Wrangler something model, Raptor whatever, or 4Runner.
Great teamwork on this one guys. I’m highly impressed my dynamic duo is absolutely phenomenal. And Ryan that sit down ending was spectacular very heartfelt
Just a clarification, the Rivian does not do tank turns. It's a feature that was advertised but then not offered/disabled because of the differing terrain traction can cause the vehicle to become unstable and dangerous.
@@aconfusedazn I agree it was a cool trick. I'm just happy they didn't release the feature only to have a customer get into an accident due to using it. Whether the decision was made to avoid liability or to protect lives it is appreciated either way. In that regard the company has more integrity than Tesla seeing as they have no qualms at all with using their customers as guinea pigs.
@@treborheminway3814 I forgot to mention that. I think the only one that uses hub motors that I'm aware of is the Endurance EV truck by Lordstown. Haven't heard much from them since the employees took over the company from the conman/former owner and they shipped a few trucks. I guess they're supposed to be doing the manufacturing for Fisker and had a bunch of cash dumped into them from Foxconn so who knows? They might make it. That would be a nice ending to a terrible story. After all, it's not the employees who did the crime in that area needs that factory.
This car is completely impractical as an Offroad vehicle, impractical as a on road vehicle, impractical as a electrical vehicle. I can see most of the owners that will buy it. Ones who buy something they don't need, with money they can't manage, to impress people they don't even know. All the Karen's and Chad's, your throne has arrived.
Great review. I think a crabwalk would be very useful for off-roading on slick, icy, snowy mountain roads where the road slopes towards an edge. When you start to slide towards the edge, it would be nice to be able to turn the front and rear wheels mountainside (towards the mountain) and lock the front and rear diffs to pull you away from the edge/cliff side. I've done a lot of winter off-roading, and generally, with a truck with no rear-wheel steering in the scenario above, your ass end starts to slide towards the cliff while you turn mountainside. I think crabwalk would reduce this phenomenon.
Sorry you had to come into my town to charge!! The lack of range over our passes, especially while towing, will always be the reason I won’t even look at an EV “truck”.
Not sure that fragile applies, all first gen vehicles are a risk to buy and ALL of them are a bit of a maintenance nightmare till they get fleshed out. From everything I've seen on the Hummer the issue isn't with the mechanics it's with the software. That doesn't excuse GM for releasing a buggy product but this is the reason why people are told to never by the 1st Gen of literally anything. Thankfully those few people who purchased the Hummer will be the guinea pigs for the Silverado because the same software is going in there.
with the technical off-road trails I think turning on and off rear wheel steering along with crab mode would allow some better control rather than having rear wheel on the entire time.
Good to hear you are having the same battery charging problems as we are here in Germany. Okay, the Hummer would be much too big here and doesn't fit on a single street or in a parking lot. One battery charge and you're just stuck.🎉
I would be very interested in if crab walk would aid getting out of a "2 wheels in a ditch" scenario. Recoveries on hilly/curvy/mud covered one track roads can be tricky. I will admit to sliding two wheels off the road a few times, and sometimes it is a real PITA to recover, with one wheel pivoting deeper into the ditch or into a tree. I'm very curious if this could simply crab walk out without pivoting and completely eliminate that issue. The last time I did that, backing up was the only option, I had to take out half a dozen (small) trees to allow my nose to pivot further into the ditch to get her lined up to escape.
No doubt that the electrification of vehicles is an unstoppable ship. I agree with Ryan that the charging infrastructure is sorely lacking and that the auto manufacturers need to get involved. EV owners cannot rely on EA and the others at this point, and we certainly don’t need the USG getting involved any more than it already is. On the bright side for now (at least for non-Tesla EV owners) is Tesla beginning to open up their SC network. However at this time Tesla’s level 3 chargers will not charge vehicles like the Hummer EV at nearly the full rate. Out of Spec Reviews just put out a video explaining this factor. Thank you Ryan, we appreciate all your content!!
OK, I just had my 2000 Grand Cherokee up a road much steeper and more rocky than this tiny "Logging road" test for over half an hour and it handled it easily. 4WD low, Low-range the differential locks and it goes anywhere. It's what I bought it for over 20 years ago. Seriously it makes this test kind of look like a $100k joke.
The charging infra and times will definitely be the limiting factor in adoption. I just can't grok how an equivalent parking lot of cars at costco gas would work w current ev charging tech.
Test it on the river crossing and rock climbing. That off road..go to the bush and take an extra battery hahaha.. gass cab put in cannester when touring . I wonder how the electric car works inside the bush. can it be charged by solar?
Rear lockers? You said it was on but the rear was slipping at different speeds than the other side. Fake computer “lockers”? Or is it even locked when one wheel doesnt even spin.
I think if you buy such a vehicle you should get a charger installed at home with like 20 to 50kw DC so you can just charge it at home. Like this only the rare times remain you need to go somewhere far...
I'm very surprised that gas stations don't put charging stations in. They wouldn't even have to get rid of any of the pumps, every gas station I've ever gone to (except for REALLY tiny ones) had at least some parking for customers that just wanted to go in the store. Put the chargers there. They'd get a ton of business too, people already know where their local gas stations are so when they switch to an EV they'd just keep going there. Might even increase their store sales, people wanting to buy a snack while they wait for their car to charge. There's not really any reason for them to not do it.
Preface: I *love* your channel, your reviews, your insights - my umbrage lies solely with the car. Tragic visibility and over *9*,000 lbs?? I premierly detest this vehicle. The push for larger, heavier vehicles is not only wasteful but actively puts pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists at serious risk. Massive L for society.
I have a bad history with GMC products. Not 1 of them has been reliable or w/out issues. Yes, they make some interesting products, but that does not give them a pass in my book. This monstrosity is as interesting as any other unique vehicle out in the market. But IF you follow some of the issues it has already had, you might rethink about purchasing it. There are a lot of #'s in that purchase price that one would expect it to perform flawlessly out of the box. But that just is not the case. I was hoping EV tech. might give GMC some leverage to regain some of the trust they lost, but that too is not happening. So, if you like the ridiculous and unreliable, go for it. But my money, time and the need for a 100% peace of mind every time I get in my vehicle says this thing is not for me. As you said, you will get a LOT of attention. And that is not a good thing. It will draw the haters in as much as the ones that adore it. It is a target waiting to be vandalized just because of how ridiculous it is. Or stolen. But if that is a risk people accept, enjoy. lol
Most people don't take 100k plus vehicles off road. Think G Wagon and River. These are meant for plowing down a highway or parking lot. Why "reviewers" act so out of touch I don't know.
I've watched a lot of videos on this, and I have to say other than straight line acceleration, there's really nothing impressive about it. It seems like in every video something on it doesn't work, in this case the front locker, and TFL has had all kinds of issues with theirs. Just not impressed. I think the SUV may be a little bit more useful, but I'd still much rather have the Rivian. I'd also like to have that Toyota jacket, haha.
They advertise the crab walk as being an advantage in narrow canyons, of course an even bigger advantage is driving literally any other 4x4 instead of this monstrosity. Pretty sure a Geo Tracker would be more capable than this.
I'm not getting it, the vehicle is much bigger diagonally then it's actual width how it can be even advantage in canyon S curve then just pointing it through?... To me crab walk would actually help to get away from tree instead keep hugging it with just front wheels steer
I’m getting so sick of the anti-EV and anti-Hummer content but you’re still reaping the rewards of reviewing one. GM I understand it is marketing and all apart of business - the hood and the bad, but I just don’t think I’d be sending my top products to people who refuse to be unbiased and have a clear agenda. There’s too many organizations and people in this business to put up with it. The title is so silly. What’s “weird” about it? They could’ve said so many other things; impressive, versatile, capable, etc? It’s _all_ of these things off road.
insane how unreliable this truck is.. the fact that the front locker did not work, an other one had no front wheel drive, an other one had no fast charging possibility... it seems that they all have issues!
way too much tech and way too many things to go wrong, i'll keep my 2016 trail 4runner with kdss. pluss there's too much pussy footing around an obstacle because of its size.
When off-roading you can't take the time to go find a charging source. It's easier to carry 20 gallons of gas and not be bothered. EV's still require petrol produced electricity. They are NOT cost effective!
I understand that if you're in the middle of nowhere in a EV you're fucked with no charging stations. With gas or diesel that you carry with you seems more logical. When an EV catches fire it can take up to 25,000 gallons of water to put it out. It's you that doesn't understand EV's.
A useless and expensive toy for the rich. Lots of annoying animations that are, apparently, impossible to turn off. The best use for this thing is probably powering a house during power outages.
In the PNW it's mostly green sources: hydro, wind, solar, nuclear. We have two coal plants but they're scheduled to be decommissioned. Elsewhere in the country green sources are growing at faster rates than traditional sources of energy.
Alot of vehilces have rear steer? Mercedes, Audi, Range Rover, who else? Wheels turning more than 5 degrees not just alternate wheel breaking or torque tricks?
Final verdict after watching the Hummer here and on TFL, it's a poser. Great for showing how much money you have, but little else. Listen closely, and you'll hear endless excuses for it's off-road performance. Try to do some actual work, be it towing or hauling, and its range is decimated. Which triggers more excuses about the charging infrastructure, as they have to yet again charge it up for hours. Honestly, if one was give to me for free, I'd sell it.
Yah, he pretty much nails it the way it is. Rare do I find someone giving reviews that thinks a lot like I do. And expresses those thoughts very much like I would. It is refreshing.
Nobody complains about having enough power to build a new Walmart of Amazon distribution center, both of which use significantly more power than a charging station.
@drivingsports I'm not anti electric vehicles. Big box stores have predictable energy use that the utilities can cover. But can we simply trust utilities to deal with exponential growth in energy use when we see the large population states struggle with reliable output? Right now, electric vehicles add around 1% to the total demand and utilities are saying to trust them to handle what's coming. Fine. I guess we'll see.
Electrify America should be ashamed of themselves. It's the same around here in California - 1/2 the chargers are broken at any one time. When was the last time you came across a completely broken gas station? Terrible.
The problem with these electric 4WD systems is they are not 4WD at all. They work just like a full time AWD with and LSD. One axle spins and then it grips. Thar doesn't happen with real 4WD
can't believe this car doesn't have a selfie camera. This is a must for all its future tiktok owners.
Your talking about 360 camera?
The most off roading these cars will do will be speed bumps at mall parking lots. Can't wait to see the next attention grabber using crabwalk at the mall.
Crab walk will be great for the tight drive-throughs at Starbucks

Yet it will still beat your old Chevy pickup.
this doesn't seem very "off roady" for an off road vehicle. Its got lots of gimmicks, but lets be honest. This car will mostly be bought by people that will never see off road.
Maybe a Rapper's car with some 26" dubby dubs and some gardening hoes in the back.
Car designed for social media streamers.
nothing compared to my Tumblr.
Why do I feel this Hummer will have trouble keeping up with an Outback Wilderness.
Are off road vehicles these days really driven off road? I'm sure there are some, but most of the time, its 1% of the time. Real off road drivers would never buy this anyway. They'd get some Jeep Wrangler something model, Raptor whatever, or 4Runner.
I remember when the Pathfinder was in direct competition with the 4RUNNER, too bad Nissan didn't continue in that direction with the Pathfinder.
I miss the Xterra.
They also had the Xterra which was also good.
Great teamwork on this one guys. I’m highly impressed my dynamic duo is absolutely phenomenal. And Ryan that sit down ending was spectacular very heartfelt
Can’t wait for the SUV Hummer to come out, and for your review of it
The best place to complain about everything: in the back of your hummer EV. Great content, congrats!
Just a clarification, the Rivian does not do tank turns. It's a feature that was advertised but then not offered/disabled because of the differing terrain traction can cause the vehicle to become unstable and dangerous.
This was a bummer but not a deal breaker for me. It would have been a fun party trick.

There was also concern the feature would be abused by the types who do not understand what “tread lightly” means on trails.

THIS 100%
😆🤣🤣🤣
yeah, that pretty much sums up the type that would buy it. 😆
You're not wrong.
I spit my coffee out when you said "All the Karen's and chad's, your throne has arrived"
I'm so glad Driving Sports TV did an off-road review of this Hummer. I trust this channel over all the others when it comes to real world reviews.

That pivot through the trees! Great course and review for this. Would like to see the tech from this H-EV in a new H3 sized package.
Sorry you had to come into my town to charge!! The lack of range over our passes, especially while towing, will always be the reason I won’t even look at an EV “truck”.
Fun review! I think its a very MEH car but fun review.
The key to crab walk is to not give it too much steering angle.
This is literally the must fragile 4wd you can buy. TFL's Hummer EV broke down on them about 3 times.
Not sure that fragile applies, all first gen vehicles are a risk to buy and ALL of them are a bit of a maintenance nightmare till they get fleshed out. From everything I've seen on the Hummer the issue isn't with the mechanics it's with the software. That doesn't excuse GM for releasing a buggy product but this is the reason why people are told to never by the 1st Gen of literally anything. Thankfully those few people who purchased the Hummer will be the guinea pigs for the Silverado because the same software is going in there.
I wouldn’t say it’s fragile. Two of the issues were software related. I’m unaware of the the third breakdown.
It would be wonderful if they make a midsize version of this. Less expensive and less heavy
It would be nice if you could steer the rear wheels independently with a knob on the center console
Spot on. Rear steer could be an amazing feature if someone can figure out an intuitive control system for it.
The TOYOTA label on the shoulder hints at what real truck will bring the generator to charge EV OffRoader in the middle of nowhere. XD
with the technical off-road trails I think turning on and off rear wheel steering along with crab mode would allow some better control rather than having rear wheel on the entire time.
Good to hear you are having the same battery charging problems as we are here in Germany. Okay, the Hummer would be much too big here and doesn't fit on a single street or in a parking lot. One battery charge and you're just stuck.🎉
Great review. Crab walk reminds me of a vehicle with a bent frame.
I would be very interested in if crab walk would aid getting out of a "2 wheels in a ditch" scenario. Recoveries on hilly/curvy/mud covered one track roads can be tricky.

Rear locker is not working at all on this car...
Would be really interested in watching you take a Rivian out. Loving your channel and content!

Charging stations have to at least triple in order for EV to be viable in this country.
Electrify America: "Best I can do is triple the number of broken chargers."
The charging infra and times will definitely be the limiting factor in adoption. I just can't grok how an equivalent parking lot of cars at costco gas would work w current ev charging tech.
I mean, offroading an 998 HMMWV was already such a pain, and those are like, what, 5,700lb?
This is a much better, honest, and practical review than TFL. Those guys are amateur compared to this channel.
Nice virtual rear locker that doesn't seem to "lock" the tires together.
Some weird behavior there. Maybe a software fix?
Test it on the river crossing and rock climbing. That off road..go to the bush and take an extra battery hahaha.. gass cab put in cannester when touring . I wonder how the electric car works inside the bush. can it be charged by solar?
Crab walk is a quarter turn not lock to lock
Rear lockers? You said it was on but the rear was slipping at different speeds than the other side. Fake computer “lockers”? Or is it even locked when one wheel doesnt even spin.
It is a software "locker"
@@drivingsports copy, so it wasnt locked lol
The most amazing thing about this truck is that it did not ELECTRIFRY
You need a genset on the back!
Off road adventures? I suppose the mall parking lot IS off road, technically.
I think if you buy such a vehicle you should get a charger installed at home with like 20 to 50kw DC so you can just charge it at home. Like this only the rare times remain you need to go somewhere far...
Will definitely leave you stranded
Let’s see it in a mud bog !!!
I probably would have crab walked that section to get the rear around
I'm very surprised that gas stations don't put charging stations in.

When are you testing a Rivian?!
If/when they ever get back to us.
Hummer EV. -It's worth taking it to a real Off-Road test
Alot of vehicles have four wheel steering ?? By alot you mean Mercedes and a select few which 98% of us can't afford ?
Yeah, that comment was confusing af.
Is that a real wild turkey going across the bottom of the screen at 2:05 or is that some kind of gag?
Edit: he's back at 23:30. :D
It’s a chicken, dude.
Those are mud terrains?? Look like all terrains
They say Mud Terrain on them. So we’re going with that.
EA ruining another trip, not really a surprise.
This hummer has plenty of power, it’s just the wrong tire for your off road test…those tires are meant for paved road and light 0ff road…
As much as like EVs and off-roading, something ain't right about this beast...

Dirt is definitely high on my list of "fun stuff"
You going to do a Rivian R1S review anytime soon?
we have requested, but they haven’t replied
What's the top speed one can go on crab-walk mode?
I've watched a lot of videos on this, and I have to say other than straight line acceleration, there's really nothing impressive about it.

That's because gm rushed it into production
I can't wait to see them in the junkyard with the rest of the hummers the only ones that survive are the true hummvs
Warzone 2.0 vibes
It's a cool vehicle but who's going afford a vehicle over $100,000
I think the 1st gen Hummer runs circles around this monstrosity off-roading. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Why would anyone buy this thing? (besides Roman)
They advertise the crab walk as being an advantage in narrow canyons, of course an even bigger advantage is driving literally any other 4x4 instead of this monstrosity. Pretty sure a Geo Tracker would be more capable than this.

he wears a TOYOTA JACKET
I have a huge pile of brand jackets. If its cold, i wear the warmest. Lol.
For $100K + and 9K lbs., I'll pass!
Good luck finding parts or people who know how to work on them. $100k...smh.

The title is so silly. What’s “weird” about it? They could’ve said so many other things; impressive, versatile, capable, etc? It’s _all_ of these things off road.
Yes, weird. Rear-steering makes for a "weird" experience when you're used to "standard" 4x4 set-ups. (As noted in the video.)
insane how unreliable this truck is.. the fact that the front locker did not work, an other one had no front wheel drive, an other one had no fast charging possibility... it seems that they all have issues!
What a disgrace to the Hummer name
This model is such a waste of battery material that could've been used for more affordable EVs. Full of a bunch of gimmicks.
way too much tech and way too many things to go wrong, i'll keep my 2016 trail 4runner with kdss. pluss there's too much pussy footing around an obstacle because of its size.
I don’t want to wait 15 minutes to charge anything. Much more an 1Hr? 🪫 No Thanks! I”ll keep my internal combustion engine.
This thing, like most EVs, is just a gimmick. It has no practical purpose other than scooting around a mall parking lot
When off-roading you can't take the time to go find a charging source. It's easier to carry 20 gallons of gas and not be bothered.
EV's still require petrol produced electricity.
They are NOT cost effective!
You don’t understand EV’s
I understand that if you're in the middle of nowhere in a EV you're fucked with no charging stations. With gas or diesel that you carry with you seems more logical. When an EV catches fire it can take up to 25,000 gallons of water to put it out. It's you that doesn't understand EV's.
Most USELESS vehicle on the market!!!
A useless and expensive toy for the rich. Lots of annoying animations that are, apparently, impossible to turn off. The best use for this thing is probably powering a house during power outages.
Easily the dumbest vehicle of 2022.
"Worlds best offroader" according to GM... weighs 9400+ pounds and doesn't have a spare tire... what a joke
The rich will always have their toys … I guess this one is a bit better for the environment, at least.
In the PNW it's mostly green sources: hydro, wind, solar, nuclear. We have two coal plants but they're scheduled to be decommissioned. Elsewhere in the country green sources are growing at faster rates than traditional sources of energy.
Offroad 😂😂😂
The more I see this car, the more clownish it becomes
Alot of vehilces have rear steer? Mercedes, Audi, Range Rover, who else? Wheels turning more than 5 degrees not just alternate wheel breaking or torque tricks?
How do you build an Off Road Electric vehicle?
GM: I think of an Off Road Vehicle, and I take away reason, and accountability
They want to push more people into ev's so they are bringing back classics hoping it helps. Ie the old IH Scout is coming back as an EV
The best description I’ve heard for this vehicle is a concept vehicle you can buy.
When put like that, I more see the point of it.
Final verdict after watching the Hummer here and on TFL, it's a poser. Great for showing how much money you have, but little else.

"If you don't like people, this is not the vehicle to buy" Thank you Ryan for all your videos and details.
Lol, thanks!
Yah, he pretty much nails it the way it is. Rare do I find someone giving reviews that thinks a lot like I do. And expresses those thoughts very much like I would. It is refreshing.
Not only is the charging infrastructure bad, but so is the electrical backbone to provide energy in general.
Nobody complains about having enough power to build a new Walmart of Amazon distribution center, both of which use significantly more power than a charging station.
@drivingsports I'm not anti electric vehicles. Big box stores have predictable energy use that the utilities can cover. But can we simply trust utilities to deal with exponential growth in energy use when we see the large population states struggle with reliable output? Right now, electric vehicles add around 1% to the total demand and utilities are saying to trust them to handle what's coming. Fine. I guess we'll see.
1,027-kg per wheel...wow
Everybody that has reviewed this thing, something didn't work. Front Locker broken on this one.
Total niche vehicle. Overweight, too big, bad tow rating, costs a lot.. it's fine. But let's not be fooled, this is no Lighting or Rivian.
Electrify America should be ashamed of themselves. It's the same around here in California - 1/2 the chargers are broken at any one time. When was the last time you came across a completely broken gas station? Terrible.
This is the best review of the Hummer ever. Waiting for the same review of the SUV, I think this version is the real deal.
if vehicle can't get up and obstacle while wheels are spinning that's one thing, here the wheels were not spinning, it acts like poorly performing AWD
I love to see the front locker switch broke on camera. This car is a huge cheap plastic american nonsense. 🤣
The bed size is just enough for a petrol generator charging this thing while driving XD
I saw a video a few months back when TFL trucks just paid 110G and it broke down in the middle of a busy road... 110G no thanks Good luck
The problem with these electric 4WD systems is they are not 4WD at all. They work just like a full time AWD with and LSD. One axle spins and then it grips. Thar doesn't happen with real 4WD
An XC90 or Q7 or X7 is more off road than this beast.
