It's like what H1 enthusiasts would really enjoy, unlike the H2 and onward civilian Hummers that just look bad and drive bad. But this one does the justice with better engine in all ways, and maintains the badass cool look of why everyone fell in love with Hummer in the first place, the military and H1 series. All Hummer manufacturers required was just to leave the visual design alone and just change the internal components.

@destro513 5 лет назад

What male doesn't like Hummers? I mean I'm not saying you'd have to own one but damn. I mean they are the modern jeeps and work horses of the American military. They are iconic. Take away the turd 6.2 and add a dmax and you have a winner. Their 4 wheel independent coil suspension alone is one of a kind then you add their portal hubs and you truly have a one of a kind engineering marvel. Plus they can be configured from a 2 door truck to a 4 door wagon and everything inbetween. Simply amazing vehicle among the broad scope of the 100 year automotive history. AM General also made a large number of the US Mail jeeps of the 70's and 80's. As a company they are kind of a forgotten auto maker. Then you have the Lambo 002 connection along with Chrysler and their GI Joe Vamp truck with it's underpowered 318 mid engine configuration.

it would clean off but they just cleaned it and probably have not had it baptized before. the snorkel is there just for looks but it was on there before so leave it on there. if you're going to go for a dip in your $200k truck then you are going to want to avoid river fording for the most part with the fancier interiors. even then, you can strip it down to the metal and replace everything to keep the mold out. like he said, it might get dirty and it would take a great deal of effort to detail it afterwards these are show trucks

The H1 is also shorter in length than a Honda Accord! Most of the hype about it supposedly being too big is pure BS. It is very wide. And it doesn't use its internal volume efficiently for creature comforts. It was purely designed for rugged offloading, and it is very good at that. But it is awkward for newbs and has a learning curve to get used to. I think it's a shame that Lefties simplistically chose it as the posterchild for their enviro-whackiness, just like they're doing with the AR-15 with their gun-whackiness.

@@gregorytimmons4777, Nope the other overpriced hummer also wandered. The problem is that better off-road vehicles have a suspension that sucks at 55 mph or that beats you up off road. You can't have both good off road & good paved road performance...

troynov1965 so it gets repetitive and they are presenting their product no talking about things we already know... so “you know “ should only be used when you are talking about something that they have prior knowledge. Furthermore, it doesn’t sound professional that’s why you don’t hear it in big presidential speeches or from news anchors, unless they are trying to give an example.

@jasoncarpp7742 5 лет назад

Hey Jay. Another awesome video. It's about time you did a vid on the H1 Hummer. I was more than disappointed when Hummer discontinued the H1 for civilian use. The H2 and H3 are nice vehicles, but I've always liked the H1 for its 6.5 litre Detroit Diesel turbo diesel engine and 4 wheel independent suspension, and its military heritage. You can almost tow a 5th wheeler with it, and it wouldn't break a sweat. This is my idea of what a truck should be, comfortable to ride in, but rugged enough to tackle any off-road driving should one choose to do. It's a damn shame that neither were used on the H2 or even H3. Civilian vehicles are nice, but I have always liked military and fleet vehicles. Military vehicles are more durable, for the most part, than civilian vehicles.

@davidhollenshead4892 5 лет назад

The Willys was and still is an awesome power tool. The military should have them brought back into production with a modern engine and 4 speed MT. Why ??? Because it can go anywhere and the armor is your kevlar and the ability to jump off it quickly when the enemy discovers you. Ask an American WWII Vet if you can find one, and they will tell you the Willys was great...
