@Out of Spec Overlanding Long time subscriber and fan of the channel. Really love all the tests and reviews. But please find an area where you can demo baja mode other than tearing up the parking areas at trailheads. A lot of work goes into maintaining these areas and drifting circles in these areas (be that ATVs, UTVs or vehicles) really tears them up. Hoping you can find some OHV areas where you can hammer on it, because I love seeing it and love hearing the giggles while you do it, but just not tearing up the parking areas. Thanks.

I love the influx of Alyssa cross the channels. It's like yall are the dynamic duo.

Per the GMC website, one must be in Terrain mode to engage the front locker then hold the front locker button for five seconds: To Engage the Front Locker: Make sure vehicle is in Terrain Mode by using the Driver Mode Selector dial. In Terrain Mode, both the front and rear axles can be locked for maximum traction. To engage the front locker, press and hold the centerstack button that shows locks over both axles for 5 seconds. If the rear axle was not already locked, it will lock together with the front axle locker. Note: The front locker automatically disengages at speeds above 15 mph. Note: The rear locker is available at speeds of up to 50 mph in Terrain Mode. Note: The lockers can be manually disengaged with a push of their corresponding centerstack button.

The first clip totally reminds of me of my electric RC trucks, so fun

This has been one of the best off road tests of the Hummer. Would definitely have loved to see how the drifting looks from the exterior. Great job

Nice! I have Edition 1 #580 and love it - best offroad and onroad truck so far for us. Still have a Rivian preorder for an R1S but may not take it, instead take our Hummer SUV 3X order. All this capability along with the convertible, the tech in it all works really well, and its roomy size makes is such a cool truck.

Ooh what I wouldn't do to be able to test these EVs out off-road with y'all. Great content!

I know that electric motors have all their torque at zero rpm, but on a couple of those climbs you had it full throttle with no movement. I feel a transfer case with a low range would definitely help out, as you could ease up difficult sections without having to floor it.

I think extract mode is for when you need an extraction, not for wheeling up. If you get stuck in extract mode, you are screwed. Get stuck in Terrain mode and you can use extract mode to free yourself

Please get exterior footage of your drift angles. Because i bet it looked crazy in that behemoth.

Great job on the video Kyle! Thanks for making it.

The software for the off-road traction management seems like it's in beta. Traction aids like lockers, low air pressure, gearing are about allowing the driver to traverse difficult terrain with better control. Having the throttle wide open with no forward motion is not having control.

Love your tests and the video itself. To be honest: from your main channel I have seen a couple of videos but this one it's more engaging for me. Keep the good work!

It's so creepy seeing the back wheels turn!

Hello from Russian! Hummer the Best! My Dream car...

Per the Hummers Owners Manual you need to hold down the button for the Front Locker for 5 seconds, owners have found it's more like 8 seconds to allow it to engage.

For the nerds. It‘s not any rocket, it is the Saturn V rocket. The one from the Apollo missions. Not many rockets with a 5 thruster configuration. 🤓

That is totally Awesome. Definitely out does my current truck. Fun review.

This thing is so heavy it sure wrecks the trails

extract mode = Disney indiana jones mode

@4:52 'THROTTLE' The ICE Age hangs on!

"Should we get one?" You've got to get one now.

in shocked it didn’t break down. seems these have been breaking down on reviews lately

@2:46 Kyle: '246 kWh Battery' Me: 'GROSS'

That thing is so cool lol

Stick a genset on the back so you can get some recharge when you have stopped part way into your adventure.

Did you try putting in neutral before locking the front diff? That might be why it didn't want to do it.

Hey Out of Spec, I just discovered a KZfaq channel where a guy over in China modifies Teslas to make them off roaders. It's called Yiche Garage. It's definitely worth checking out.

What a balls-out wild-a$$ hunk of stuff! Nothing exceeds like excess.

Make sure to boot down that humangous computer after playing with it 😂

Whithout vrum-vrum looks like big rc-model

You need to be in natural to engage the front locker

Fun video! I have yet to see anyone to get the front locker to engage.

take it to the sand dunes next

I wonder if you used the L for low range on the drive selector or just left it in D the whole time. Update: I screen-shot the inside views of this video and it appears he drove in D the entire time. I'm pretty positive he would have gotten more torque on those moguls.

Great video. Where is the other channel that he is taking about?

Love that you touted physical lockers the whole time and it didn't work once. GM products for you.

If you could only pick one to daily and offroad, Hummer or Rivian? I feel like the at home charge rate/efficiency of the Hummer would limit ease of use for daily driving and home charging, but it's marginally better offroad?

Bellissimo incredibile modello potente

After checking, it looks like the Ultium NCMA cells are 103 Ah gross capacity, which would put the GMC HUMMER EV's pack at 219.5 kWh gross.

I would not be surprised if the front locker is intentionally disabled until validation testing can be completed. Mechanical lockers can easily be damaged or damage other components when used under certain conditions. With enough software intervention you can minimize the number of failures and therefore warranty claims, dissatisfied customers, etc. But that takes time to develop and validate. For example, you can limit motor torque and alter brake interventions for TC and ESC, for a given steering angle, vehicle speed, potentially axle weight, etc.

I would really love to see a Range Rover on that same parcour mate! Range Rover is king off-road

But where oh where is the Quadrasteer Suburban

Howdy folks you know it was about 3 months ago you guys did a video series when you went up into Alaska and you left off when you were in Dawson Creek at the beginning of the alcan highway and there has not been a part two which at the end of the video says it will not take as long so maybe you can give us a idea as to when that video come out on your trip to Alaska through Canada in your Mercedes sprinter van or is it not going to be completed and be left off?

G-arbage M-ade C-arelessly

I don't see it that good if it has such huge power limit in raised mode... EVs for offroad need some sort of low sensitivity modulation simulating low range where the power actually remains with proper left to right delivery too, i mean this is worse then good break based AWDs... It's ok though they can improve

full throttle and it doesn't move? Wow so glad I didn't get one of these. This is no crawler.

Why will the Hummer EV SUV charge slower then the pickup truck?

Which mode when you were in the slip test?

You're the 3rd video I've watched with front locker issues... another one couldn't get extract mode to work either on the main center screen but it showed working in the driver dash screen. They definitely have some bugs to work out. The virtual locker is also a bit of a let down, you wouldn't think they would even use the word "locker" if it couldn't come that close to making the electric motors work together evenly. Great video and still want the Hummer EV, I believe these are hopefully just Gen 1 issues.

What's the name of this area?

A lot of truck for like 20k more than Rivian.

Where are the other parts of the Alaska trip?

100K$ For Crab drive 🧐

I thank you so much for your honest test and for your sympathie but Realy i realise that these électric 4x4 are fake 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨in real off road situation.... Anywhy i thank you 🙏✌🙏✌🙏

How big is the battery? 10 Nissan Leafs!

Man. Disappointing. Those software “lockers” seem kind of crappy.

Put the Model X through it!!! PLZ

The suv version will weigh even more… lol, atrocious to drive something that heavy that fast 🤮 lightweight is the key , eventually ev’s will have this feature then it will be a more attractive idea

my 2000 honda crv does better off road then the hummer lmao
