The Hummer H1 did not fail. It's still a beast off road 25 years later. It was never designed to be a luxurious, fuel efficient vehicle. It only "fails" when it's measured against things it was never intended to be.

Never stop making these videos.

It's great that you praise the vehicle for it's incredible strengths, whereas if you discuss the vehicle with any motor hobbyist they'll usually laugh the entire vehicle off. Love it or hate it, the H1/Humvee is one of the most iconic vehicles on the planet. I'm not a huge fan of the later models but I respect where the story started. And that dirty big engine in the H1/Humvee just sounds so deep and amazing.

And now we have a $300k electric behemoth. Great video

I remember seeing this as a kid in the 90s and what sold me on its awesomeness was some footage of it crossing a massive gap no problem. It's such an icon, it's has the same rugged cool look as the Land Rover Defender and is just "cool"

Overpriced, unsafe, impractical for the streets but highly capable and very iconic the H1 is a true exotic legend. Lamborghini LM002 + Willy's Jeep = H1

The HMMVE was made that wide so it could drive in the tracks of the M1 Abrams.

Additional comment from a former H1 hummer owner. Back in 2005, AM general reached out to it's existing customers to find out how much more they would be willing to pay for a new truck if it met all of the upcoming emissions requirements. They were upfront when they mentioned how many millions of dollars in investment would be needed to meet these requirements and with a truck that is made maybe 1,000/year the cost of the new emissions passed onto a new customer was going to be very hefty, think it's not worth it anymore. AM general didn't give up on the brand and tried to come up with other alternatives such as buying a truck without an engine and a customer could add their own, but even with that the demand wasn't great enough to do. If it weren't for GM stepping up with the duramax, the 2006 H1 Alpha would never exist. Today there are some civilian H1's that are being made for sale overseas mainly in the middle east. It's a fascinating vehicle and fun to drive. I did have a few run ins with 'eco warriors' including one person who was using a shopping cart to try and ram the truck over and over but was prevented by the rock rails. The Hummer HOPE program was amazing and many of the Hummer owners I met in those days were some incredible people with unbelievable next level life skills.

I'm from L.A 🌴 and when the H2 came out I bought one and put 5k worth of sound system... I was ballin out of control and flossing. These SUV's drove and handled extremely well I have to say. Very comfortable ride.

Not me liking before the add stops because I know it’s gonna be good

Finally a useful and impactful sponsor! Thank 337 Speed

Got a love the classic hammer💯

Seeing the Humvee frolicking in the mud and rain of Ukraine after all these years of struggling in the sun bleached and dusty roads of the Middle East makes my cold American heart happy.

WORTH THE WAIT

You need your own show on the discovery Channel man. As an OTR truck driver (night driver) your videos make 11hrs go by quick! Wish they were longer. Thanks my good sir for these dope vids! Mad love and I'm getting the Füm ASAP to quit black &milds but mainly to show love and support you. #1 fan & admirer!

Didn't really fail at all considering it sold pretty well, was in headlines for a long time and has just been revived as an EV and has gotten decent reviews

this guys format is nice and his explanations are great, definitely subscribing and i dont know how this guy doesnt have more!

ooo don't let @ChrisFix see this, he loves his hummer :D

If i ever get money and have my own shop i want to turn a h1 hummer into a warthog from halo

9:50 love the dde clip

Fun fact you can not only still buy hummers, but hmmwv's as well and they are like 16k without the up armor, if you find a up armor kit for sale it goes for like 40k-50k

Hummer H1 and Humvee are best looking off-roaders to this day. Very capable too. People praise g wagon and pay stupid money for it, but it has nothing on H1. It's most likely more comfortable, but comfort is for women 😜

Never knew they put the 8.1 big block in the hummer h1’s

you make awesome videos man….you are really dropping knowledge here...

not a hummer fan but your story telling in the RT/Hellcat video was EPIC

As someone who owns an H1 a 97 pre GM hummer, the only thing that really let's it down is the 4 speed transmission, the 4l80e is a tank in its own right but diesel engines like to to have a lot of gears to keep them in their power band. I had My truck was swaped to a p400 engine and the six speed version of the allison 1000 with double overdrive in 2016 and with 38x13.5 inch tires it gets a respectable 12mpg city and 22ish on the highway if you stay right at 55.they are tanks though because the 6.5 is an IDI diesel it will run off juat about anything, used engine oil penut oil transmission fluid gasoline even, and offroad I've pulled out more stuck subrus and toyotas than I care to remember. All while knocking on the door of 300k miles in 2023.

Instant like on your content, ever !👊🏻I'm a HUGE fan of your channel,greetings from Brazi.

I want to see this guy do a breakdown video on the 1993 Mclaren F1...

This vid is brilliant. Brought back some memories.

Ev1. Do the EV1 next please

Your video production, timing & narrator are great! I did kitchen stuff just listening to your Busa video! 👍Great stuff!

dude seriously thanks for all these awesome videos

Nothing in the video says it "failed miserably" though. It had a good run, all things considered. Anyway, he should do a followup with the new electric version.

Nice video buddy thanks for this 🤜💥🤛

I owed 2 Hummers and loved them. The last one was a H3 alpha with a modified LS and modified automatic transmission. It was fantastic. I wish I still had it. However, moving to Thailand forced its sale

always a good day when 337 uploads

Bro your videos are top notch, should be be shown on tv for sure. The way you narrate and the background music, the sounds of the vehicles and the visuals are amazing. I get original TOPGEAR vibes from your channel and im here for it. Keep it up ✊🏽💪🏽

" Right tool for the wrong job " nice quote 😁

Just for your information I was working at a GM dealership in 96 and an H one came in brand new from the hummer dealer down the street and it had a small block Chevy gas engine in it! It was one of those $80,000 H1❤

How insane do you have to be destroy someone's Hummer like that. Do you really care about the environment or are you just violent and crazy? Like these people throwing tomato soup on priceless paintings. Like why though? Activists never care about what they're advocating for. If they did they would be out there actually doing something instead of protesting or causing violence.

When is foxbody video coming ???

A guy's dad in my school back in the day had one of these. Drove into work one day and everyone went nuts in the car park

Amazing video very informative 10/10

Arguably one of the most badass looking trucks

Your videos are great!

This is the type of content I’ve been missing from donut media, thanks for filling that gap lmao

Excellent video! I do wish you had mentioned the new GMC Hummer EV at the end, because it's absolutely ridiculous 🔥

The hummer ended in 2006, but the HMMWV carried on. Its slowly being replaced by the Oshkosh jltv, but AM General will probably be building humvees for a few more years yet.

I have a 2006 H1 Alpha 4DR-Hardtop, great off-road vehicle with the added ability of towing a trailer in soft sand and mud.

I still want a H2 Truck version 😫

I’m so glad I still drive my H-1 hummer, the experience is funny cuz of ppls reaction

One thing you got wrong. The super wide body and wheels is not due to the transmission and torque multiplier. It's designed to fit in the tread of other track vehicles like tank and APC. It's designed to be that wide.

Duramax swapped H/1 would be super awesome

Great video. 👍

my new favorite KZfaq channel

I’ve owned a 1, 2 and a 3 Alpha. I loved my hummers. Best truck I’ve ever owned. The H2 was my favorite. An amazing ride and I felt safe in her. Loved those trucks

What funny is that Toyota still makes the 70 series for 30 years till today you can get a 70 series just with airbags and a a 4.5 turbo V8 diesel brand new

I have one and you taught me something 😂

Driving soft top HMMWVs (6.5turbo variant)on the autobahn at high speeds when I was stationed in Germany feels like piloting a plane thats falling apart and out of the sky.

Hummers and Excursions.....the good old days.

I like your videos, never change

I see resto-modded H-1s occasionally, with a PIMPED out Duramax blowing obscene clouds of pure carbon. They are utterly glorious in this configuration!

Engine suggestions for videos: EA888, VQ, EJ

My favorite vehicle!! I still hope to buy one someday!! Especially from predator hummer !!

427 Cobra next! & super snake history

My friend had a Hummer H1 its was so badazz! Still today you see one and turn your head a new Ford Bronco not so much!

Can you do a video on the history of the Duramax, I heard that it has it's origins from when Detriot Diesel was making small Diesel V8s for C and K series pickups

Wow. 70k. That's expensive.

The price difference with the wilis is much worth every way.

Contracts usually go to the cheapest bidder. Military grade is nomenclature for a POS.

the civilian version was more akin of a niche product than a typical civilian offroader, it wasn't made to be a best seller outside of the military market

You can still buy a military truck for the road. See Razvani.

In short, that military industrial complex be hittin sometimes

6:17 did he say dismal braking performance? Those inboard calipers stop on a dime! They are great brakes!

I'm confused in 1992 the Hummer H1 was only $50,000 I know this because I got an invite from AM general. To be exact the Hummer started off at 52,000 that was the H1 The failure came when GM decided to up the prices to over $100,000 nobody could afford it.

They are expensive, but many who can afford it still own and drive them. ❤

Powertrain failure was eminent. We had mandatory engine swaps

The Humvee(Military Spec. While the "H1"," Hummer "are "Civilian" spec) , is/was not bad. It was just placed in doing what it was not built for. Such as placing too many armor platings on them and putting them(as a last-ditch effort) in situations/missions which it was not built/intended for(War On Terror in places like Afghanistan and Iraq especially in Urban Combat. Misused. Compared to when it was in the Gulf War).

My cousin has a military Humvee it was his daily driver for a while

The end made me miss saturn and Pontiac lol

I used to not care for them. Now I want a H1

Put a Duramax diesel Allison transmission combination in an H1 and you have the the Hummer that was always meant to be.

Would love to have one. But all us trucks are crazy expensive to buy in Europe! A RAM 2500 is about 250% more expensive in Europe compared to the US. The government has also but another limit...any cars this have has to be operated with a higher class licence..that would put you about 5-10 grand out of pocket.

was the intro clip taken from chrisfixes video?

Detroit v8 from 1999 model h1 is worst than the 2.8L 200hp MWM engine of the chevy S10 '-' incrible! Nice Video!

Hummer being the icon vehicle of America should have been exempt from any emissions because nothing says America quite like a Hummer

Should I do any mods to my 2004 3.8L v6 mustang or is there no hope and I should leave it as is?

I still want one of those even though they are completely impractical.

Cash Money had those on Mono blocks... hummers on choppaz!!!

Any car that burns through that much fuel is not even close to being a consumer vehicle

Are you still thinking about doing a Hayabusa engine special? That would very interesting. 😊I😮

Just make it a hybrid haha and put a 9 speed auto in it with last 4 gears used for overdrive Would love to see the mpg then

This vehicle is so American I imagine a few bald eagles soaring above and the smell cheeseburgers to go with the gunpowder!

Spent many a hot, sweaty day inside a HMMWV in Iraq. In spite of how wide they are, the interior afforded very little passenger comfort. Once they started fitting the FRAG (armor) kits onto the chassis, the "performance" suffered even more. I have a GMC C3500 with that same 6.5 Diesel that I built to be a "high performance" (LOL) and it's still anemic.

...donknow it failed at sales- but it was /is still one of the best militaryvehicles/ offroaders out there....!!

I think I found my new garage queen

ive worked on the H2/H3..... and they are CHEAPLY built . even cheaper than the GMs at the time (which, sure, were plastic fantastics.... but that made them quick, easy, and cheap to fix/work on) it was a REAL "parts pin mashup"

Bro I am only like 1:30 in this video smacks 10/10 so far

Show me a hellaflush, aired-out, stanced and cambered HMMWV with twin Hellcat engines, all built and set up for drift. Go!
