Long time subscriber and fan of the channel. Really love all the tests and reviews. But please find an area where you can demo baja mode other than tearing up the parking areas at trailheads. A lot of work goes into maintaining these areas and drifting circles in these areas (be that ATVs, UTVs or vehicles) really tears them up. Hoping you can find some OHV areas where you can hammer on it, because I love seeing it and love hearing the giggles while you do it, but just not tearing up the parking areas. Thanks.
in shocked it didn’t break down. seems these have been breaking down on reviews lately
Howdy folks you know it was about 3 months ago you guys did a video series when you went up into Alaska and you left off when you were in Dawson Creek at the beginning of the alcan highway and there has not been a part two which at the end of the video says it will not take as long so maybe you can give us a idea as to when that video come out on your trip to Alaska through Canada in your Mercedes sprinter van or is it not going to be completed and be left off?
In a previous video Kyle mentioned they lost the Alaska footage..... but then in another video (live stream I think).... he mentioned finding it again so I believe it's back on the editing table again.... but definitely delayed.
How big is the battery?
10 Nissan Leafs!
I would not be surprised if the front locker is intentionally disabled until validation testing can be completed. Mechanical lockers can easily be damaged or damage other components when used under certain conditions. With enough software intervention you can minimize the number of failures and therefore warranty claims, dissatisfied customers, etc. But that takes time to develop and validate.
For example, you can limit motor torque and alter brake interventions for TC and ESC, for a given steering angle, vehicle speed, potentially axle weight, etc.
All the validation is done this thing is in full production.
@@chrislittle6490 In my experience, just because a vehicle is in Production doesn't mean it is fully validated or the software finalized. It just means Regulatory and Functional Safety (FuSa) checks have been performed and signed off on.
Nice! I have Edition 1 #580 and love it - best offroad and onroad truck so far for us. Still have a Rivian preorder for an R1S but may not take it, instead take our Hummer SUV 3X order. All this capability along with the convertible, the tech in it all works really well, and its roomy size makes is such a cool truck.
I know that electric motors have all their torque at zero rpm, but on a couple of those climbs you had it full throttle with no movement.
I feel a transfer case with a low range would definitely help out, as you could ease up difficult sections without having to floor it.
I think it's the traction control to limiting the power
It's gotta be traction control, I'm not sure how much power the two rear motors are putting out independently but should be close to 250hp and 250lbft of torque? That's gotta be enough. Based on those power numbers and the instant torque available I don't see a need for a real locker. But if they wanted a rear locker they would need to take it from dual motor in the rear down to a single motor, like the front.
@@mus_xr4653 no!!! They need physical lockers to actually use no the motors torque combined to send to the two wheels it’s much more effective this way!
If I remember right they have to limit the torque in extract mode to not destroy the CV joints, I think he would have had more power in plain old terrain mode. Low gear would be a big improvement in control though
I think extract mode is for when you need an extraction, not for wheeling up. If you get stuck in extract mode, you are screwed. Get stuck in Terrain mode and you can use extract mode to free yourself
Please get exterior footage of your drift angles. Because i bet it looked crazy in that behemoth.
Per the GMC website, one must be in Terrain mode to engage the front locker then hold the front locker button for five seconds:
To Engage the Front Locker:
Make sure vehicle is in Terrain Mode by using the Driver Mode Selector dial. In Terrain Mode, both the front and rear axles can be locked for maximum traction.
To engage the front locker, press and hold the centerstack button that shows locks over both axles for 5 seconds. If the rear axle was not already locked, it will lock together with the front axle locker.
Note: The front locker automatically disengages at speeds above 15 mph.
Note: The rear locker is available at speeds of up to 50 mph in Terrain Mode.
Note: The lockers can be manually disengaged with a push of their corresponding centerstack button.
I’ve been seeing a lot of user error with the blame being put on the Hummer smh
@@lewiscross7603 GM should know that customers won’t know how to activate the front locker. So when the user presses the button, a pop up message “Hold button for 5 seconds to activate front locker” should be displayed
@@Youno954 It would have taken a sec to download and look through the owners manual right on there phone.
@@lewiscross7603All of this channel's off-road videos are one giant user error extravaganza.
Ooh what I wouldn't do to be able to test these EVs out off-road with y'all. Great content!
The first clip totally reminds of me of my electric RC trucks, so fun
This has been one of the best off road tests of the Hummer. Would definitely have loved to see how the drifting looks from the exterior. Great job
I love the influx of Alyssa cross the channels. It's like yall are the dynamic duo.
The software for the off-road traction management seems like it's in beta. Traction aids like lockers, low air pressure, gearing are about allowing the driver to traverse difficult terrain with better control. Having the throttle wide open with no forward motion is not having control.
The different off-road modes change the throttle curve, I think to allow more control.
It's so creepy seeing the back wheels turn!
You need to be in natural to engage the front locker
I wonder if you used the L for low range on the drive selector or just left it in D the whole time.
Update: I screen-shot the inside views of this video and it appears he drove in D the entire time. I'm pretty positive he would have gotten more torque on those moguls.
Did you try putting in neutral before locking the front diff? That might be why it didn't want to do it.
Yup! Neutral, rolled around in case the locker needed the teeth to move to engage, tried all modes. Still won’t engage today
@@outofspecoverlanding9649 Same thing TFL saw... Google found a thread on hummerchat where it says someone got it to work on their personal truck and it had to be held closer to 10 seconds, who knows. You didn't get the same physical truck as TFL had did you?
@@outofspecoverlanding9649dude it says clearly press for 5 seconds I love the channel but it is disservice to the Hummer engineers not checking before video
Per the Hummers Owners Manual you need to hold down the button for the Front Locker for 5 seconds, owners have found it's more like 8 seconds to allow it to engage.
Hey Out of Spec, I just discovered a UA-cam channel where a guy over in China modifies Teslas to make them off roaders. It's called Yiche Garage. It's definitely worth checking out.
I thank you so much for your honest test and for your sympathie but Realy i realise that these électric 4x4 are fake 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨in real off road situation.... Anywhy i thank you 🙏✌🙏✌🙏
I don't see it that good if it has such huge power limit in raised mode... EVs for offroad need some sort of low sensitivity modulation simulating low range where the power actually remains with proper left to right delivery too, i mean this is worse then good break based AWDs... It's ok though they can improve
extract mode = Disney indiana jones mode
For the nerds. It‘s not any rocket, it is the Saturn V rocket. The one from the Apollo missions. Not many rockets with a 5 thruster configuration. 🤓
Make sure to boot down that humangous computer after playing with it 😂
Stick a genset on the back so you can get some recharge when you have stopped part way into your adventure.
Why will the Hummer EV SUV charge slower then the pickup truck?
Man. Disappointing. Those software “lockers” seem kind of crappy.
full throttle and it doesn't move? Wow so glad I didn't get one of these. This is no crawler.
Hello from Russian! Hummer the Best! My Dream car...
You need to be in natural to engage the front locker
@2:46 Kyle: '246 kWh Battery'
Me: 'GROSS'
Whithout vrum-vrum looks like big rc-model
A lot of truck for like 20k more than Rivian.
@4:52 'THROTTLE'
The ICE Age hangs on!
This thing is so heavy it sure wrecks the trails
After checking, it looks like the Ultium NCMA cells are 103 Ah gross capacity, which would put the GMC HUMMER EV's pack at 219.5 kWh gross.
But where oh where is the Quadrasteer Suburban
If you could only pick one to daily and offroad, Hummer or Rivian? I feel like the at home charge rate/efficiency of the Hummer would limit ease of use for daily driving and home charging, but it's marginally better offroad?
What's the name of this area?
take it to the sand dunes next
100K$ For Crab drive 🧐
G-arbage M-ade C-arelessly
What a balls-out wild-a$$ hunk of stuff! Nothing exceeds like excess.
Love your tests and the video itself. To be honest: from your main channel I have seen a couple of videos but this one it's more engaging for me. Keep the good work!
That thing is so cool lol
That is totally Awesome. Definitely out does my current truck. Fun review.
Great job on the video Kyle! Thanks for making it.
Great video. Where is the other channel that he is taking about?
Which mode when you were in the slip test?
"Should we get one?"
You've got to get one now.
Where are the other parts of the Alaska trip?
He noted in another video they lost the footage. So I wouldn't expect anything more.
Bellissimo incredibile modello potente
Fun video! I have yet to see anyone to get the front locker to engage.
Have to press and hold the button for 5+ seconds... no one reviewing it does that.
I would really love to see a Range Rover on that same parcour mate! Range Rover is king off-road
Love that you touted physical lockers the whole time and it didn't work once. GM products for you.
Things tend not to work when you don't read the manual to know how to turn them on.
@@chrislittle6490That is what happens when you think writing for a Tesla fan blog makes you a qualified car reviewer.
You're the 3rd video I've watched with front locker issues... another one couldn't get extract mode to work either on the main center screen but it showed working in the driver dash screen. They definitely have some bugs to work out. The virtual locker is also a bit of a let down, you wouldn't think they would even use the word "locker" if it couldn't come that close to making the electric motors work together evenly. Great video and still want the Hummer EV, I believe these are hopefully just Gen 1 issues.
All the issues I've seen so far have been user error. Every single thing TFL complained about other than the issue where it locked up in the road was a failure to read the manual and understand how to use the vehicle's functions.
Put the Model X through it!!! PLZ
Million subscriber special.
It’s going to be really bad lol…. The modelX lost in a off-road duel vs a 85hp fiat panda 😂 😅😅😅😅
The suv version will weigh even more… lol, atrocious to drive something that heavy that fast 🤮 lightweight is the key , eventually ev’s will have this feature then it will be a more attractive idea
The SUV version will weigh less, it's shorter and has a 20 module battery pack vs the pickups 24 module pack.
my 2000 honda crv does better off road then the hummer lmao
