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.

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.
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!
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

@@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.
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

Because, of the whole gas thing Hummer was going to release the Hx model which was a hybrid, but then they filed for bankruptcy. Now 10 years later Hummer is back, this the Hummer EV an all electric vehicle, which is going to compete with Tesla cyber trunk. So they still are cool.
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!) . Stick to commenting on whatever you actually have knowledge about please. There’s already enough parrots in the world spewing nonsense that’s fed to them.
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.
StealthAssasin 1Day I was thinking the same, GM will bring back a very stylish and extremely unreliable modern electric hummer and it will sell them for exactly 5 years before killing them forever.
An electric off roader would be sweet. Pretty much only tire noise, less likely to scare away animals... plus precise torque application for slow speed maneuvers.
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
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."
@@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 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.
Ckc dillpickle hahahahahahahah... good luck holding on to that idea. They outsold the luxury segment for all call manufacturers last year. Model 3 is selling 400,000 cars a year. This truck is about to tow your vehicle to the dump.
I hate when people say that Oldsmobile was discontinued during the recession! It was announced in 2001 and phased out by 2004. Nothing to do with the Great Recession.
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!
Looks in Backyard. Yup mine is still there too. I don't keep my HMMWV in the front. It has caused traffic issues on my street with people stopping and looking at it.
The Hummer used the the same V8s used in the full size 4x4 pickup trucks that we see everywhere. It's not like GM made a one of a kind Hummer only V8? It's still here. It's still here. Same V8 engines and drivetrain. ua-cam.com/video/ENSH1tUeR-k/v-deo.html
There aren’t any other vehicles of this century more Iconic than the Hummer, Beetle, or Prius?! 0:57 She really didn’t come prepared for this, did she?
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.
In the US territory of Puerto Rico this vehicle was sale by a Mercedes Benz Dealer. But was caught selling the unit over twice the manufacturer suggested prize by GM. Resulting in a caos and rest is history.

Hummer would do well if it came back. The world is more obsessed with SUVs now more than ever.
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 😁
The first generation (H1) was badass. The rest were just terrible.
Augusto O.R it’s the real reason the brand fell cars with the same or worse gas mileage sell better today just fine
Definitely not “badass”
The H3 was a nice little offroader if you had all the options on it. Plus it got 'decent' mpg on the highway. The H2 was absolute crap through
Errhka have you driven or owned one ?
@@silverstorm6973 I test drove one before I bought my jeep. Couple of my friends had one
Bad oil prices , recession and terrible build quality put a end to a hummer.
Xarc Factor terrible build quality? Guess you never owned one.
@@iTzKevinFTW of course I didn't. I wasn't old enough to buy one nor would I ever buy one.
I own a hummer H3 truck and can confirm your statement is FALSE.

Probably cause your fat body would actually fit in its huge cabin, lol 😂😂
Which Hummer? I hate the H2, but i frickin love Humvees.
@Last Trip. fuel consumption?
@@Alex-zg7vq Some of us in the world actually make money and fuel cost doesn't matter...My 97 pickup truck with mods get around 9mpg.
Why don’t they make an electric version or hybrid or diesel version with way more mpg. Id like way more than a pickup truck.
Alexandros Theodorou you obviously missed the part where they already talked about what you just said in the video lol 😂
there is a electric golf cart version 😂
Electric version 🤣🤣🤣🤣,
anndeefam Have you seen what a Mercedes g wagon goes for. Plenty of people can afford a real hummer .
H1 is the only hummer that should've been made..the H2 and H3 are a disgrace
It is ok if it isn't so heavy and lack of power
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!) . Stick to commenting on whatever you actually have knowledge about please. There’s already enough parrots in the world spewing nonsense that’s fed to them.
So says someone who would love to have one... If only could afford it! 😅😂🤣🤣
H2 were the best ones
@@adammoore1022 I found the H2 owner.
i had no idea hummer brand died, Part if the reason they didn't sell well, is because GM made them cost to much
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.
I remember playing with a Hummer H2 in Underground 2 lol.
theres also Midnight club 3
Same. Not as good in RL 😂😂

The Hummer would be great with the high torque offered in electric motors. The Hummer will Return. Mark my words!
StealthAssasin 1Day I was thinking the same, GM will bring back a very stylish and extremely unreliable modern electric hummer and it will sell them for exactly 5 years before killing them forever.
We hope ??
As a Hummer driver, I wait with bated breath for them to resurrect the brand
@@andreblackaller3560 Like you know so much, cut the bull!
An electric off roader would be sweet. Pretty much only tire noise, less likely to scare away animals... plus precise torque application for slow speed maneuvers.

What happened to the Hummer?
Short answer: *gas prices increased*
I mean so did our wages
...and now vehicle prices have skyrocketed for the lowest quality ever.
Why not re release the Hummer as a high torque all electric version.
Pretty sure they're working on it
Ford is coming out with an all electric mustang so who knows it’s possible
Hummer was my dream car in my childhood 🥺
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
The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is this generation version of the hummer. Side note Hummer electric version looks dope
loool so the new hummer looks like a warthog from HALO
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 remember seeing those cars a lot when i was about 8-10. it looked really cool
I had always liked the hummer
That car still screams on Road
"Look at me" still an icon they just need to push more.
Electric is the key.
Steve 900SPG not reallly
You need electricity to make the system work lol 😂
The only SUVs selling now are crossovers, really.
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.
I owned an H2 for three years. Definitely one of my favorite vehicles. Now they are so expensive on the used market that I can't afford one.
And now we have lifted, angry eye jeeps

Jordan Zekoff my dad has a 98 intrigue (the only year with the 3.8) and it was a fantastic car
Screw the Hummer - they should bring back the El Camino, instead!
uh no
If I had the money I'd get a hummer. Not sure why everyone hated it. It looks perfect for dogs with good interior space.
