Bronco Raptor vs New Hummer EV comparison look

[Bird Dog Off Road]

I'd really like to see an offroad comparison of turning radius. Braptor with trail turn assist on and Hummer crab walking.

TFL truck has done some off road trail comparisons with one and their First Edition. It's on their YouTube Channel.

Damn, I did not know the hummer SUV was out yet, I’ve seen a couple of the pick up truck models

You will see exactly ZERO Hummer EVs off-roading, pretty much ever... Too wide, too expensive. 0% off road vehicle, 1000% pavement princess.

Here's a couple of them Running Moab on Cruise Moab April 21

The only comparison needed is the BRAPTOR is about $45k less. Enough said.

Cool to see these next to each other. Hummer looks really awesome, but I'd still take the Braptor for many reasons. What surprised me is how close they look in overall size. So I went and compared the dimensions on both websites:

Width: both ~86in wide except Hummer stretches to 93 when including mirrors
Height: both ~ 78in tall
Length: Hummer only 5in longer than Braptor (196 v 191in) but that stretches to 206in when including the spare tire; so basically 1.25ft longer.

Also, a quick Google search shows 10.1" vs 13.1" of ground clearance. Was curious based on the pictures. "Normal ride height" for hummer, so I assume it's bagged and can change height settings like the RT1?

And Hummer ADMs make Braptor markups look reasonable...which they certainly are not.

Doesn’t that depend on your preferred dealers ADM? Lol

Optional Air Suspension...adjustable ride height.

Either way the EV is way overpriced be it MSRP or dealer mark up. The Braptor will be marked up if available, but still way less than the EV. And the Braptor is way more capable without having to charge it.

Living up to that user name. So serious

I look at it only one way with electric vehicles. How long do I have to keep the POS before I recapture $1.00 in profit from fuel savings. And will the battery packs last long enough for me to witness that $1.00 profit.

Its no different with the new Ford Lightening, I was at my dealer a couple of weeks ago picking up my new Bronco jacket. I saw 2 Lightening pick ups just delivered. The cheapest of the 2 was $98k. Now how in the world can I possible justify that expenditure with the thought of not having to buy fuel? Electricity to charge it is on the rise, time down to charge, and having to limit my trips, outings or whatever. My time is worth money also. So where's the sense in a high purchase like that?

I would purchase a Braptor any day of the week compared to any SUV EV. And with a clean conscience regardless what these earth huggers have to say about saving the planet. Fill-r-up and lets roll baby. LOL

How has no one mentioned the 3,330+ lbs weight difference?

Simmer down man. Simmer down.
I got you, it’s ‘Lightning’.

I’ll take the one with the big hips!
