If it sounds like a diesel, and smells like a diesel and comes in a 6 wheel version, I might take a look...But as of yet, I'm not sold on EV's even they can pull a freight train with 11,500 ft. lbs. of torque...:bigboy:...Ben
"When fully operational, the plant will create more than 2,200 jobs..."
Well, definitely got sidetracked by the economic impact.

Why will it take 2,200 people to build a vehicle no one can afford to buy?Quote:

Also. Electric = torque
Around here Hummers get shamed pretty hard by the Subaru crowd*. Now only outcasts and counter culture types drive them, kinda like harleys used to be.
*I find car buying stereotypes a more fun way to label people.
I do too, but those backward-thinking Ford people can't seem to take a joke...:hehe:...BenQuote:

I don't mind the joke. Until the Hummer came along us classic bronco guys had the least aerodynamic vehicle in history.:doh:Quote:

I’m going to assume the Hummer name will be used on an entirely new configuration, as the old original Hummer was notorious for unusable interior space. If electric motors at all four wheels, couldn’t they eliminate the old Hummer’s dreadful center tunnel box for drive shafts, which took up so much space?
Yeah, Joe - if they're going to do them again, do it right.
I've been in Moab with Hummers off-road. They were awful, a lot of broken front shafts, and we often towed them out.

Naw that was the original FJ 40 flat windshield no aerodynamics at all but good god it could go everywhere off roadQuote:

Oh how I loved the FJ40! When I find time I 'll tell you a funny, but embarrassing story about one experience with them. Remind me in a few days should I forget.
If it shows up on the showroom floor looking this good, I predict a hot seller...At least they show a separate bed, making it an actual truck, unlike that abortion Elon Musk is trying to pass off...:bleh:...Ben

That is one nice ride so I guess I will have to dig into the piggy bank and buy the new Corvette and a new Hummer..............................:AHHH::bwaha:: lol:
Hmmm... not a bad looking truck. Thanks for the pic, Ben.
