GMC Is Building A 1,000 HP Electric Hummer In Detroit

in #trucks5 years ago

Yes sir, that's what they say and in fact they're going to have an ad in the Super Bowl. Motortrend doesn't think they'll actually show the truck though, just talk about different features like on this video:

Or this one. Yeah, they're claiming 0 to 60 in 3 seconds!

Or this one for the 11,500 lb-ft of torque!

The estimate for production is late in 2021. No word yet on the price. lol. There are no official photos released yet but Motortrend had this one:

What do you guys think? Ready to buy one? I reckon they'll be as impractical as the gasoline versions. I mean, you need an actual bed on a work truck!

They say in 10 years all vehicles will be elecrric so I guess we better get used to 'em.

I wouldn't turn one down if someone wanted to buy me one, it'd be fun to tool around in. I'll look for the Super Bowl ad though, maybe they'll show a complete vehicle.

Thanks for stopping by folks, God bless you all!

A good looking unit, but not practical for me for the reason you mentioned; No bed. Still, if I had expendable money, which I do not, I'd probably stick one in the garage. :)

I agree sir galenkp, they trumpet the towing capacity and hp but without a bed there are few workers that I know of who would want it. For just running around it would be fun though. I bet the starting price will be $60,000 or $70,000 here and even more there! It'll be a fun toy for the wealthy ladies.

I don't know about down there but I see Hummer's all the time here and almost 100% of the time the driver is a petite white female that looks like she has money. lol.

There's not a lot of Hummers here really, they are not practical. Here they tend to be driven by wannabe bikie gangsters and they roll around on 22' chrome wheels hoping to gain some attention to account for their low self esteem and small appendages. They are almost always black and look rather ridiculous really.

lol! That's hilarious. The women here are compensating for something too and want to feel tough I guess.

Yeah, I think so too.

I'd prefer this...Would be legit driving down Main North Road in this JTLV! 😂

Oh my gosh that's an amazing beast! I didn't even know we were replacing with these superior vehicles, you come up with such great information sir galenkp!

Big improvement all thanks to the U.S. Army "modernization officials." lol.

You and I both need one of those, I wonder how long before we can get a used one?

Haha, I doubt I'd be able to afford even a second hand one...I'd love one though. 😁

Well they might be hard to get down there but up here they have those military surplus auctions where you can buy trucks and humvees and all kinds of equipment, just have to wait a few years. I need one for in case the collapse of society happens.
I'm sure they take the gun off though unfortunately. lol.

Howdy there esteemapp! Thanks so much for the upvote!

Hey janton, Ben and I have put signed a contract for a hybrid Toyoto Rav 4 SUV. These vehicles are in such high demand that we have to wait for up to 6 months before delivery takes place. They come from Japan. So I agree that in 10 years there will be remarkable progress made in this area. Our new car to come runs on very little fuel.

Oh how interesting and cool! That is marvelous, I love those Rav 4s! You'll be paying almost nothing to drive it as far as fuel. That's a long time to wait for a new vehicle but I think it'll be worth it!

It is 3 weeks now ...... who is counting, lol.

lol..I understand, I hope you show it to us in a post when you get it!

This should be interesting. Hummer are good.

Howdy clitadias! I really like Hummers so I agree, they might be pretty awesome but I bet they start at 60 or $70,000!
