    Have you priced a new 2020 King Ranch? The fuel savings over 200000.00 miles will offset the 20K price delta...

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

    ...Hamtramck assembly plant to produce all-electric trucks and SUVs, as well as a self-driving vehicle unveiled by its subsidiary Cruise...
    That’s the first I’ve heard of this new GM subsidiary brand.

    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.

    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......Ben

    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.
