- In the 1990s, the militaristic off-road machine known as the Hummer was a major part of American pop culture. But in fewer than 20 years, Hummer went from being one of General Motors' most recognizable brands to a relic of the past. We explored what led to its rise and fall.

The Rise And Fall Of Hummer
I just now realized I haven't seen a hummer in years
Loli Hunter i own one lol
Anubis do you get nasty looks and stuff like the video says?
@@kanarieV3 My friend owns one too. People see Hummers today as a really awesome vehicle rather than a waste of gas.
I own an H2 and an H3
I once in a blue moon get snark. But several times daily get compliments.
So the terminator made the civilian humvee and then years later it got terminated.
Oof
Ok bummer
You could only hum to mimic the engine roar
I’ll be back
.... or resurrect by using electric powers that before it got terminated its already sent "I'll be back" message unaware.

H1 was meant to be an off-road utility vehicle that you'd only drive for fun and its was cool AF. Then idiots tried to turn it into a daily drive luxury vehicle and that is why it failed 🤦♂️

I remember Dubai back in 2006. All the rich sheiks rolled around in custom Hummers that were HUGE compared to the ones in the US. They were essentially mini tanks in terms of bulk.

In gta liberty city, there's a mission where you need to eliminate 3 vip's. One woman is in a chopper, a man is inside the limo, and the other guy is using a yellow hummer.
@@Skrenja we're talking about the 2000s tho🤷🏼♂️
The rise came with the awesome HMMWV, or "Hummer".
The fall came when GM stuck a boxy body on a standard 4x4 truck chassis (the H2) and inappropriately called it a "Hummer". Then they made it worse with the H3.
Sometimes I really hate the people in marketing departments.
For sure. The first one is bad ass.
Yes you're absolutely right! And for those who don't like even the original they need to realize that it's a 1 1/4 ton rated like a Ford F-450 but when's the last time can you saw a bone stock Ford F-450 with its payload capacity that was able to off-road the way a Hummer could in the 1980s for God's sake. Even a brand new super duty can't do what a Hummer could do off-road and a Hummer was doing it in the 80s with the ability to carry the same weight and having torsion gears with fully independent coil spring extremely Stout suspension low center of gravity and high ground clearance. All those categories are still not made to this day

Anything after the H1 is PT Cruiser levels of lame.

Back when i was a kid, the Hummer was my dream car and i was obsessed with them. I remember my parents would always take me to the local Hummer dealership and i would sit in one in the showroom

If hummer released a revamped H1 today they would be back in business
TBH the more they strayed from the original design, the less appealing it looks. Especially the H3, looking like a marshmallow.
@@JRyan-lu5im that's the problem but that was the vibe in 2006 those bubbly ass cars with huge rims 😂😂... If they stick with the original format just like jeep and Mercedes gwagon and put a modern spin, prob a digital dash and some little tweaks they can finally make use of all that space.... I think it would be a good investment
Yes h1 is great, h2 h3 were mistake. Take G waggon for example is still the same near 40 years and is still a hit.
@@user-er4rp4bt6r I agree original design is a classic
They did hummer electric truck.
Driving both jeep and Hummer during military service during the 90's I can say, hands down, that there is no more durable, tough, and fun to drive like the American Jeep.
Now if they'd only work to add reliability to that list lol
I remember in 08 when prices for gas rocketed and people sold them like hotcakes. Best sleep in my life was in the winter in a Army hummer with the heat on max. The diesel engine would rock you to sleep… Spent the summer in 95 4x4 wheeling for fun for a few weeks. Never got it stuck.

I have an H1 as my offroad toy and an H2 as a daily driver. My H2 has 290k miles on it and still going strong, my H1 has about 70k road and offroad miles. I love them and I would never sell them. My H2 has never really been "off road" but it seen some dirt and mud roads when I'd go camping, and it's amazing on snow and ice.
Tesla should buy Hummer, convert it to eco friendly version.
Argon That’s the Cyber Truck
Christopher Bradshaw Make it bigger
@@christopherbradshaw9863 That's why I thought about this, cybertruck had mixed responses with its design, but with hummer as its body that cybertruck is going to look tough while performing the speed of a ferrari. I am definitely not going to see any complains or negative criticisms online if they put that trademark hummer body to the cybertruck.
They have the cyber truck and GM has announced that they will come back as electric trucks and they will unveil it at the Super bowl, the company is not coming back but it will be a truck model In the GM brand, just go to hummer.com and see for your self
How are electric cars eco friendly exactly?
I was inside a Hummer back in June 2009. I didn’t realise they had been discontinued. Hummer’s a word I haven’t used in 11 years.
I love hummer since I was a kid because many of my toy cars are hummers. Until today hummers are still popular in toys among the kids
So nostalgic 🥺
"The us military relied on the jeep during the world wars."
There were no jeeps in WWI...

yep....They were called horses and mules
I remember my parents bought the Hummer H3 when I was little. It only lasted a year because on the bottom of it there was some kind of oil spilling out and it couldn’t drive anymore. It’s was really big inside and I liked it.
They are quite ugly and full of plastic though I guess your right with the space though

Your username fooled me 💀
Love this guy in glasses! Nice sense of humor
Answer: General Motors killed the Hummer.
They didn’t have a justified competition for it, so they decided to play dirty and use their influence and power to do the world a disservice by purchasing hummer and discontinuing them out of pure envy hatred and grudge. These executive types run on negative emotions like these, and doing terrible things like kill innovation gets them off
@@BigShaneGillis I am here to say the Hummer is back and it's electric debuting February 3
Hummer was GMC. The H1 (Humvee) was built by AM General, then sold to GMC as a Hummer H1. It was the original 6.5L diesel that was gmc's that had tons of problems, when Am General bought the design from gmc, they recasted the engine making it a 6500 Optimizer diesel engine which is always mistaken for a GMC engine! (Which Neither have anything to do with an Oldsmobile engine!)
They should've kept the OG design, now it looks so weird and out of place.
TheAsphaltPro Mc Says the one that has a weird and out of place vehicle as a profile picture 🤦🏻♂️😂
@@miguelbasulto5734 So you like the 2008 Hummer design?
@LEOMC3602 not even fictional, its a fully functioning car Lamborghini made as a gift to some other company
I like how Shackeal O’Neal was there whit his smile.
Hummers and specifically HMMWVs are in high demand and seem to be growing in the price of used vehicles.
If GM came out with a Hummer hybrid, all electric and most importantly an all terrain beast. They would make a killing!
Lol they made one
People: *key hummers because they have too many emissions
Also people: *key electric cars
Unknown I want a Hummer H1 that gulps dinosaurs !
forgetting the fact that they also used fuel to start fires on cars that were made by machines that were powered by fuel... just a huge waste of fuel to stop a car from using a little more fuel than theirs...

Although the Hummer is a tat worse for the environment, electric cars are horrible for the environment asswell.

My dad had an h2 when they came out. I loved that shit, as a hockey playing family. Plenty of room for hockey bags, sticks, and teammates.
Twelve days after this was updated, Hummer announced the Hummer EV
1900's: We'll have flying cars in the future.
2000's: Heavily hammered Hillbilly hysterically hurtled his Hummer hazardously.
Underappreciated comment, thank you
I love the alliteration
This makes me happy!
I've always wanted one like shown at 3:40 just cuz it looks super tough and beefy.
The subsequent H2 and H3 with more curvy edges and such never had much appeal to me. It's just that first model run, OG beef boi that I've always liked.
Never knew it stopped being produced and sold... Still see them fairly commonly.
I remember when back in like 2009 my little brother and I would go into our cousin’s hummer and shout mw2 quotes. Like “RAMIREZ PROTECT THE BURGER TOWN!”

This is so ironic, why would they burn a car if their trying to save the earth, that doesn't make sense.

Answer people are dumb

A few of the "Jeeps" they showed were actually Ford Mutts. For some reason, the Mutt is glossed over, if not outright ignored, when people are relating the history of military offroaders. They always jump from the Jeep to the Humvee, forgetting the Mutt, which came between them.

Lil Jay Records there’s a new electric hummer that they’re making
0:38 Correction. The jeep was invented in 1941, so the only World War it was used in was WWII.
I wonder how many people know you can get the engine converted to a better engine making it have a much better fuel consumption, acceleration, and top speed. There’s more things to list but those three things are pretty decent to mention.

what killed Hummer is the H2 ... I remember seeing a H1 with a license plate "H2THIS" ... the H2 was a glorified GMC vehicle... the H1 was a genuine monster off road vehicle.
no, the h1 is not a good offroad vehicle, it's 10k pounds. What it's good at is protection from small arms fire. The h2 probably performs better off road. Both are way overweight to be reliable offroad vehicles.
@@krebgurfson5732 having driven the H1 while serving in the US Army, under extreme conditions of hills, terrain, mud, rocks, and such, and then having driven a Chevy Tahoe (the same chassis as the H2) off road I can assure you that you are 100% wrong.. the M1A2 Abrams tank weighs 72 tons, and can off road better than a jeep... weight has nothing to do with it.
@@Sams911 i'm from alaska, everything i do is offroad. heavy vehicles are awful offroad. the hummer is an armored vehicle, not an offroad buggy. NO ONE is building H1s to go offroad in places that are actually challenging, they're driving around hollywood.
Still have my yellow 2002 H2. On our 30 vehicle dealership sponsored “hummer weekends” the H1s were good off-road, but had a lot of mechanical issues. The H2s also performed well. The H1s got stuck and had to be towed more often, most likely due to the weight. Later in my off-road career, the H3s were never able to keep up. Just weren’t good enough
@@snowboard424 the H2 was desiged from the Chevy Tahoe platform and was very reliable as a result.. the H1 is a military vehicle and needed a lot of maintenance
