I wished they talked about the range of them and how much power they consumed while on those off road trails
"The future is electric" , as long as you don't know the details.
@@donmelvin7102
Tell me you don’t understand energy without telling me you don’t understand energy. 😂
That’s so dumb.
No one is taking these off road, you can't take more fuel with you and you're totally dependent on charging stations that may or may not work.
@@waterbuck
Guess those people taking them off road should learn from your huge knowledge on the subject. . .
@@Whateverpoopiepants Whoa, they drove on a dirt road for a 1/4
These might be fun toys but they arent affordable to your average blue collar worker and these definitely wont last 10-20 years like most workers expect a brand new truck to last. Then both interiors are overly reliant on screens and software that's already glitching. Im sure ford and gm cheap interior/electronic parts bin aren't going to last any longer than cheaper models either.
Screen already had some lag in the video…
Nice if you do not for your seat heating at -20 degree celsius.
Yes they will
This is the top of the line Hummer E1 and it’s not targeted at “average blue collar workers”. It’s a supertruck. The Hummer also has physical buttons and isn’t reliant on screens. You old folks just have an issue with screens because you’re too lazy to learn everything associated with them. He literally just said the interior isn’t cheap in the Hummer, and you can see the attention to detail in the interior and quality from the review - so it’s evident you don’t operate based upon any actual facts.
This is not meant to be a blue collar worker truck, it is meant for rich people to show off.
Ford should install a big screen TV in place of the grill with images of poor people.
All I want is a 1980's Toyota Hilux. Not a rolling iPhone.
Man I love when vehicles are reviewed where they’ll never actually be used by real owners
No one wants either of them over priced and under perform all the fancy lights and sounds but put a 10k lb trailer behind either one and drive across i 90 southdakota in one day lol you cant ill keep my truck 3min to fill up pulls better and i paid it off years ago cause it wasn't over priced by 50%
It seems like one item that is often ignored is the overall width of the Hummer EV (and its Hummer EV SUV sibling). The Hummer EV is 86.7 inches wide without the mirrors, which means it is about as wide as an F-150 Raptor, and about 6" wider than the F-150 Lightning.
No thanks. I’ll just keep my 4Runner.
Nah.
No one cares, your stock 4Runner loses to both of these 10x over off road.
Keep your 4Runner and put a down payment on a house.
Sell the 4Runner and buy another home and get a beater
Most of my general contractors return the lightnings they definitely don't have enough charge for a real full day's worth of work. It's good for weekends
That was obvious when they announced it
I am going to have to see proof of this. I know a couple that charge in their shop over night and never even come close to the 320 mile range in a day. Were these standard 240 mile range trucks?
@@zxlr888 they were the highest range available. Just when they're towing or have a lot of heavy equipment in the bed the mileage range really decreases very quickly. They seem like fun to drive around town but not for serious people who are doing serious contracting work.
@@ChrisWhalenCPA A lot of heavy equipment in the bed? This proves to me you don't really know what you are saying. I have had the full payload in the bed and neared an average of 1.9 miles per kw/hr. Towing drops it to around 1.0 which is similar to the drop you get when towing with a gas/diesel engine. I don't mind people not wanting to use an electric powertrain, but lying about it third party seems to be the sport nowadays. Sorry. You are simply making stuff up to fit your narrative. This coming from a guy working in the oil field.
@@zxlr888 It is my client's terrible experience with EVs that caused me to write my last memo. I'm glad you have such a good experience. You're lucky. I don't have a narrative.
If you mean by Production, only a few thousand copies, well... I guess. Nothing special about $100k+ EVs.
By far, the rarest Ford, but not a collectible because the computer is not Windows XP and won't be updating. The truck will eventually fail to update and tell you to buy a new truck provided your social credit scores are approved.
No one cares. My eight hundred dollar Thirty year old van has less of a carbon footprint than either of these by the time they are battery- less and broken. What is the yearly repair cost ? How many years will it have to be on the road before it is carbon neutral from it's huge carbon footprint it takes to make? If you want to be green run a 50 percent ethanol mix any vehicle that has a ecm can with no modifications. I have been running all my vehicles since 2007 with zero issues.
No one cares about the carbon footprint my man
Sure am glad that these EV pickups are for the everyman... LOL. Seriously, who is the average person buying this? If you are not making at least 6 figures, neither of these are for you. What's that, top 25% individual income under 40 under the best of circumstances, and probably closer to the top 10% of individual incomes? Good luck with that.
So what if they aren't meant for lower income people? Do you write the same thing on Ferrari and Lambo reviews/comparisons too?
@@somethingtough no, because at least I can afford the old Ferrari currently in my garage.
These vehicles are being marketed as if the common family of four is going to be making a purchase. The fact is that the production is extremely limited and they are low value. At least with a Ferrari you are getting something likely custom built for you... FWIW, I wouldn't complain about the Ford GT or Z06 Corvette either, because they are marketed as niche flagship vehicles for the respective manufacturer.
Have you looked at the price of trucks lately? A decent one starts at $70K easy to reach $100K
I've seen quite a bit of lightnings lately, it's cheaper than the gas powered version because of the incentives you get when you buy it
@@CalebTheFew06 what incentives? Federal tax incentives apply only to vehicles with a maximum MSRP of $55,000 for cars and $80,000 for SUVs/trucks/vans. Neither of these meet the cut off. You could configure a Lightning under $80k, but it's still more expensive than many F-150's. The maximum credit/rebate you will likely see is $10k more for the F150 Lightning, which is not $10k less than the gasoline powered F150. An extended range F150 Lightning XLT (the lowest trim non-fleet customers can purchase) with a few basic options (like tow tech and max tow) is over $73k MSRP. Add a few more options and say goodbye to the $7500 tax credit. A similar F150 XLT with a 5.0 v8 tow package etc is $57k MSRP, or $16k less expensive.
Bummer
Hummer looks amazing in real life
The GMC Hummer is such an impressive engineering marvel. If it was from Hyundai or Land Rover everybody would be talking about how amazing the production model is - the first American supertruck. But because it’s *gm* all they wanna talk about is how stupid it is, how much it weighs, and how much it costs.
So glad i preorder the lightning. Nice to see it hanging with truck 3x-4x what i paid. The lightning is the perfect daily driver.
Hummer stand out like the cybertruck. Best thing about lightning is no one notices until you pop the frunk. Its the ultimate sleeper.
Reminds of when v8 went into sedans in the 50s-60s.
Cold weather will affect the charge in those batteries to some extent.
Man pushing the plug your car into fossil fuels to charge hard now. Does anyone know what you do with the old batteries
You are excited about a 100k truck. A truck. Something for dump runs.
I know 2 people that own and have owned a new lightning. These trucks freaking suck. How did they make truck of the year? How much did Ford pay yall for that?
I legit thought this was satire.
Forgot to mention that the Lightning starts at much lower price for the XLT trim level which makes it a $50k difference, why the omission? 🤔
I’ve put 36k on mine in a year and the only issue I’ve had is the poorly designed tailgate lightbar that fills up with water and kills your reverse lights. The cheaper lightning has them in the taillights which would have been better.
That being said I have the expensive Lariat like in the video and it was only $80k and my coworker is still waiting on his Hummer EV he reserved when they announced preorders.
And now with the incentive, the lariat pencils out at 72k.
And you think because you got into your cheaply built Ford before he took order of his GMC that _you_ somehow have the superior truck?? Lol.
@@G-Rated well I actually have the truck so yeah I do.
@@BlueCollarEV having the truck does not make it superior.
This must be an old video reposted. Currently compared to the Lariat he’s driving the price difference is 40-50k. Plus the lariat qualifies for the 7500 tax credit. Apples and oranges. Now.. the platinum is currently the comparison point in the interior.. still 20k less than the hummer.
Nice to see the ghost of Jerry Garcia doing car reviews. Not a lot of spec detail in the video, but interesting enough.
The Lightning has poor ride quality? MT is the only publication I've heard complain. I wonder if Ford changed something.
Yeah I’m not sure what he’s talking about mine was fantastic before I made it slightly worse with a lift and 35s.
I’ve driven both Rivians with air suspension and it wasn’t great, especially the suv.
He is off road. Lightning is a road truck.
Hummer has huge tires and air ride.
Lightning rides like a Cadillac.
I love your vidéo brooo
Where is the spare tire on the Hummer did you leave it home?
Comparing the two most un-useful vehicles for which one is the least crappy. Awesome! Doesn't run for a day and unusable for real work.
The Hummer at least looks nice and commands attention fpr the price, the lightning is dopey, drove one then power is fun for a few miles, the screen blows very slow. Range with towing is whack. The Hummer may be a novelty item in 20 yrs but the lightning will not and noether will make it long without needing new Batteries.
To me the major deciding factor would be can it power my house when the inevitable blackouts start to become the norm.
The Ford lightning can power your house. But only for about 48 ish hours, and it’ll cost you an additional $8,000-$12,000 to make it work.
I have one and the 30a 240volt outlet in the bed can power an average sized house.
As long as you understand what things cannot run at the same time.
I would get the hybrid f150 for that.
@@camaroman101same
Electric vehicles sounds like they’re getting harder to ensure and they’re raising the rates of everybody else’s insurance to cover the electric vehicles
The Hummer is not an everyday use truck. As a contractor I can't see myself pulling up to Home Depot for a load of lumber in that. It's all about practicality.
I do it all the time in mine.
Why use a electric truck for off road? No charges off road. And so the hummers rear steer wont last long off road. And repair costs.
towing in the lightning is 53 miles short af i would rather buy a F150 Hybrid instead
I'll keep my Eddie Bauer explorer
A $112,000 Hummer vs a $77,000 Lightning (that qualifies for a $7500 credit) is not a $20k difference. Neither are a value and Johnny is terrible at math and MT in general hasnt gotten any better, which is why i wont pay for MT online.
I will take the Lightning Pro at 50k
Hipster review
Would love to buy a hummer ev but they cant even make them so whats the point?
sure the off roading is cool but lets be honest, most of these vehicles will only see a dirt road or a little bit of grass if at all. These are daily commuters that happen to have a bed. The tech is cool but at the end of the day these are vehicles that are over priced and can barely make 100 miles towing a camper. Not to mention the charging issues. LETS BE REAL if you need a truck to do truck stuff, if you need a truck as the back bone of your busines unfortunately THIS IS NOT IT.
you can't buy a car here in US paying the MSRP
Well he has a beard so as a real man I guess I have to believe him.
Sorry gm making a solid axle hummer does not make it a hummer sorry u can not slap on a full box body on chevy chasis and just disgrace the hummer name that way
The hummer was independent suspension all the way around
@@tommywagner96just like the humvee.
@@camaroman101 yup
Why is elecric offroad a thing? One sharp rock and you're a firewoek
No skid plates either
Hahahahahahhh
Ford Lightning was no comparison to the GMC Hummer. Ford isn’t even better than the Chevy Silverado EV.
For JUST 20k more. Also, let’s spotlight that ANY electric vehicle will be 100% produced in Asia
Except both of these that are produced fully in North America.
What an idiotic comment
And Tesla that is at the top of the American Made Automobile list.. so.. yeah.
@@loganweber7488 and the most expensive parts in those vehicles are the battery, and motors….. MADE OVERSEAS. Man you’re gullible…. So….
@@JonathanEzor you’re right. America is the leader in lithium ion battery and electric motors…. Electronics in general…. 😑
Yuck vs Yuck
Dumb vs Dumber
F that thing
No one is buying. Naming it truck of the year isn't going to help.
50k Fords sold this year
@@jaredoaks6317 what does that mean?
@@jgranger2002 that Ford sold 50k of the Lightning EV this year, so yes people are buying them
@jaredoaks6317 care to share your source.
@@jaredoaks6317 ford sold 40k electric vehicles total as of September of this year.
Truck of the year😂
I've yet to even see one in person over here in Wyoming. Only idiots drive electric vehicles across Wyoming in the winter. You still can't pull a trailer with them. Gayest video I've seen this week
Hey Niko. I am in Powell and love my Lightning. I have driven all over Wyoming in the winter. If you ever want to try it, let me know. (if you really live in Wyoming) Btw, my f150 gas truck costs about $80 to go 300 miles. My lightning - $7. The Lightning actually feels more secure towing my camper than my max tow gas f150. (150 miles towing 10k lbs) Sometimes it is hard to see what is real on these stupid reviews, but grab a clue man.
Lame
Both are absolute garbage. Rather get 8 mph in a 86 k10
Nobody is buying either of these EV's, cue a sponsored video.
Ford has sold over 50k and plans to build 150k a year
Sorry their will never be a electric future in trucks, until you can resolve the towing issues.
Or the price 🤔
Yes all these mall crawlers I see towing every never.
EVTrend… ISTG…. NOBODY CARES ABOUT SHITVS
Both are overpriced garbage.
Hummer still looks like a hair trimmer up front
hater
Fed looking to bankrupt the big 3 with these battery operated turds 😂😂😂
