Bronco vs. Hummer EV off-road review by TFL

[Strykerwsu]

I love the styling of the Silverado/Sierra and they are great trucks. Not knocking them at all, more the people in charge because when they did the refresh, they did absolutely nothing with the interior. How are you going to do a complete redesign and not touch the interior.

Now the new redesigned interiors look great but that was a complete backfire not putting that interior at launch.

This is why I own a Ram Rebel. Interior was light years better. Glad I bought it, been a great truck. If I waited on better interior would have cost me $20k min with crazy prices over last 2 years.

Looks like the Hummer EV has a decent bit of intricacies to work out. Doesn’t take much digging on here to find all the issues people have had with their Broncos over the past 2 years. New product launches doing new product things.

That being said…I couldn’t care less about the Hummer EV. I know it’s a great way for GM to launch a product and justify a high starting price but a Colorado EV with smaller size, slower 0-60, and more range would be 5x more compelling. Hopefully we start to see more EV off roaders in the non luxury segment soon.

I wouldn't own a GM if you paid me. I've had the worst experiences with this brand...horrible...

I’m not the biggest GM fan, but a single individual’s experience with a few units isn’t statistically significant. I manage a fleet of 145 vehicles, 90% of that being Chevy trucks. They take the abuse of a construction company well. Sure stuff breaks from time to time, but overall they have impressed me. The biggest issue is the 8 speed automatic trans in the 1500 is hot garbage and gets sloppy between 70K and 90K, but they replace them under warranty no questions asked. I do cycle them at 5 years or 100K miles, so they aren’t being run totally into the ground on my watch. Statistically the Chevy trucks have the lowest overall cost to operate as fleet vehicles, Toyota is #2 and Ford is #3. I looked at swapping the fleet to Ford, but F-150’s cost too much and the fleet incentives were much lower when I did my analysis.

I watched another TFL video with the Hummer EV and it left them stranded on the side of the road. Couldn't get it in neutral, couldn't get the hood open. When they finally figured out how to reset it they had to do an asinine process on the hard reboot to get it to start. Needless to say they have had some very bad luck with this truck so far

Meanwhile, EVs with flooded batteries in Florida are catching fire.
Gives new meaning to the slang term, "hot car."
