So let me understand, it is a huge beast of a truck, with fully armored cabin but a pure aluminum hood and zero protection for the engine so they can simply blow up the engine shooting at it and then you are a sitting duck in your extremely expensive fully armored cabin. Am I correct?
And and I guess technically you wouldn't be entirely sitting duck. They did put in the holes in the doors to shoot out of and the turret up top. Granted if they're already firing on you, you're dead as soon as you pop your head up to use the turret but 💁♂️
We appreciate our good friend Andre stopping by and taking time to talk with us at our SEMA 2022 booth. There are a lot of questions that will be answered shortly on our website, but a few quick clarifications: 1: The engine and hood can be ballistically protected and is recommended but optional to upgrade. If you look at the splash protection around wheels, additional ballistic armor can be added as well as under hood protection and grill deflection with upgraded pushrods on hood for lifting. The frame currently used by us is the Hummer H1, M1123 and similar variants and the M1165 and M1152 variants. (There was a comment about Plan B using a m1114, which we do not use) There is standard underbody protection, as well as an optional skid plate upgrade that can be added as well as more soon to be announced model configurations and optional upgrades appropriate to each model. The Duramax and Cummins turbo Diesel engines are the current power plants being used for the Ricochet, both engine families have history in the military for different reasons. There are a few minor changes still happening depending on supply chain and agreements we are pursuing, which may change minor things in the near future (locking systems, latches etc) Seating can be for 4-6 adults depending on standard or tactical seating configuration. Fuel capacity is upgradable up to 100+ gallons of protected diesel on board if needed. We will give more details soon, and appreciate all the work TFL does, and wish them the great success they deserve for the incredible videos they produce. Stay safe, and may this vehicle we have designed never have to be used for its intended purpose here in America. We just like to have options. -Dan Plan B
The flat center console area if it was extended further to the rear would be a great place to strap down a medical flat-board for someone who was injured
Yep, dude, this is my next grocery getter dude. Dudes will be lining up to go grocery shopping with this thing. 🤣 Dudes can go get their big macs and still have a fire fight in comfort. 🤣
Probably built on an REV chassis. Shows what is possible with the amazing frame/chassis of the Humvee platform if AM General was willing to actually rework their production line. .The thing I wish Plan B would be upfront about is the difficulty in getting surplus Humvee's registered for road use. A lot of states are cracking down on them. The H1's don't have that problem.
What about the humvees they sell like the rampage and ruckus? If they sell those as legal on road and with a title, would those be exempt from the crackdown if they already got a clean title before this crackdown. I want to buy one lime the plan b rampage or even private party but idk if the title would get rescinded
5:24 Full aluminum hood, the cab is bullet proof. My question would be, why not also make the hood bullet proof? The radiator is sitting right in front. Any direct fire and your radiator and engine failure will be unavoidable? I'm not an engineer, but I am an industrial machine operator and maintenance personnel. IMHO this truck has a major flaw. The hood also has to be made bullet proof! You wouldn't go into battle with just a helmet and no chest gear?
I've noticed something that's commonly found in the comments of your videos that may need to be addressed. Too many people don't understand what SAE J2807 is, why it's important, and when it started. I understand you have a video on it but people seem to actually believe that a 2003 S10 could safely tow 6000 lbs. It'd be a great video series, for the gauntlet. Or some other tests, as the gauntlet would be sketchy, at best.
Damn!! I wish i saw TFL guys. So i saw this truck!! **BUYER BEWARE** This hummer is hog with lipstick. When speaking to the guys i asked which frame they used. The answer is M1114. That frame was never designed for the extreme 50 cal rates armor. In fact when i mention the M1151 the guy i spoke to had no idea. Do not buy!! Do not buy!
Ok listen, 2 minutes in and this truck already has me sold. The window "opening" is so freakin awesome and hilarious, while super practical for the situation it is designed for, I love it.
sounds great, but i'd build it on a square tube large truck frame like a suburban square tube frame, and matbe a bigger alternaor or something that uses the engine to generate power, and basic roll down windows.
Always laugh at these... Armored vehicles are basically useless unless the power plant is completely protected. Not to mention the thin bolts in the doors and window hinges, that a visible! No no no If I can get inside with a hammer, it's not built well enough. Aluminum hood 😂😂😂 kidding me
If its got a Humvee serial number then "your results may vary" depending on which state you're in. If it's got a recycled H1 VIN then you should be good to go in all 50 states.
I hope they've got more than that linear actuator holding those windows shut...And eclips on the window pivots? So a flathead screwdriver to pop the clip, hammer and you're into this 6 digit vehicle without any damage...
Well I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one that was a tad bit concerned that bullets could ricochet of the cab of the vehicle,but the engine which is the heart of vehicle can possibly be penetrated and disabled by gun fire and eventually my ability to return fire from lack of ammo.also how much Horsepower and torque does either of the two engine options have?Run flat tires?
This will be the #1 choice of rappers and sports ballers everywhere. Can't wait to see them in their videos and showing them off in their twitter feeds. Nothing will scream 'TOOL' like some idiot daily driving one.
Looks like it's got the goodies but how robust is the rear axle? How's the ride for long term comfort? What kind of mine protection do u have thru the wheel wells?
I like the tow capacity. However, it's not a match for my $30K grey wolf. I'd have to get something like a Bruder exp8 so the whole thing will set me back at least 600K right off the bat.
There are always nit pickers. lol In any scenario, there will be cracks in the strategy. Flaws in the long term survivability. Too isolated. Not enough food and water. Cannot get back to civilization w/out gas/diesel/EV/bicycles are to exposed.. etc. etc. etc. Watch The Walking Dead and you will realize the futility of long term survival. Nothing is going to last forever that you take for granted now.
Yeah, postapocalyptic world where there is no diesel, food, corner shops, people..... We do funny things just because we can and there are some of us with loads of ill gained wealth😁
Water pumps and oil filters are cheap and easy to stock. A diesel should be able to do 500k miles, and truck engines are everywhere and not that difficult to maintain or swap. It's less about how good a particular thing is or how long it lasts, its about how many are available. If the water pump goes out on a really common engine, no big deal. If a module that drives the motors on a custom electric vehicle fail, you're stuck
Use what is most available, and the most basic technology to meet your needs. If I were building an apocalyptic vehicle, it would be truck based, and use the most common gasoline powered, manual transmission truck engine I can find and set it up with a carburetor tuned to run on alcohol, along with appropriate fuel tank and lines (ethanol is more efficient to make from plants than biodiesel. Use the most common size axles, wheels, brakes, etc. Btw, I'm not fan of this truck at all
the armoured vehicle needs a new in-house designed & built ladder frame chassis . . . a 3.8 MM - 4.3 MM thick military grade high strength steel chassis frame is serve best suited for such a heavy armoured vehicle . . . a PHEV power pack would be nice, for e.g. a in-house designed 4.6 Biturbo V8 or 5.4 TDI I6 and both mated to a torque converter 9-speed auto . . . a 36.0 kWh pure EV mode good for 83 miles . . . that aging 6.6 TDI V8 & 5-speed auto needs to go for good . . . by the way second row suicide doors don't suit the purpose . . .

Exactly! Its completely useless unless the power plant is protected.
Is it not possible for the aluminum to be bullet proof?
He did say fully armoured cab, so I suspect that they didn’t protect the engine.
Ive watched this trucks build progress over its life and they’ve really done an amazing job. They really do some cool stuff. Class act guys too!

Any bulletproofing around the engine/rad/block?
Doesn’t look like it. That was my thought too when they opened it up.
That's what I was looking for but all you get it's aluminum
nope. this thing is useless

Really cool vehicle. I can see why they made them to accommodate big people, professional athletes are going to be the only ones able to afford them.
Nah, worse seat: either back seat for any 6’4” person in battle gear.
You could request an armoured hood...the same for the engine protection... increasing the price...course! Just two words: Amazing car!!!!!!;;;

My next truck right here 👍
that guy from Plan-B is really on the ball
The kind of vehicle that Woody Harrelson's character Tallahasse in Zombieland would drive, lol.
Good Morning My Good Friends Of Fast Lane Trucks
Good morning!
I’m ordering four of them! When the first arrives TFL might want a look!
Yea please!
Yes and then bulletproof the engine
Great truck for Rappers!
Don't forget the "Civil War" right around the corner ppl
Man this would come in handy here in Massachusetts!! Lots of Zombies here!! I would love this truck!!!!
You obviously haven't seen Croatia. 😉
It's a reproduced copy of a military armored up HUMVEE with a change to the seats!

So i saw this truck!! **BUYER BEWARE** This hummer is hog with lipstick.

Plates need to drop out bottom of all doors to protect legs
Hey fellas, the hood can be upgraded to protect the engine. Keep reading in the comments below! Semper Fi!!
Always laugh at these...

Not to mention the thin bolts in the doors and window hinges, that a visible! No no no
If I can get inside with a hammer, it's not built well enough.
Aluminum hood 😂😂😂 kidding me
So one well placed round from over watch into the aluminum hood and your in a tomb!
Hood is only aluminum? That's a lot of vulnerability to disable the vehicle if engine area takes rifle rounds.
I was wondering the same thing....???
They took the term "bulletproofing the engine" too literally. 🤣
Even up armored HMMWVs engine bays lack protection from small arms.
@@KITDFOHS Most still have armored covers around, I even have a armored humvee grille which is pretty thick and heavy
No one is taking this out during apocalypse, it can barely do 50 miles on full tank 😂
That is an awe inspiring truck. Wow!!!
All this talk of WWIII and this vehicle doesn’t seem so unrealistic anymore.
So will this be able to be registered and tagged or is this like a big side by side or something?
If its got a Humvee serial number then "your results may vary" depending on which state you're in. If it's got a recycled H1 VIN then you should be good to go in all 50 states.
Anuel AA buy one already and is the first one in Puerto Rico 💪
I hope they've got more than that linear actuator holding those windows shut...And eclips on the window pivots? So a flathead screwdriver to pop the clip, hammer and you're into this 6 digit vehicle without any damage...
This is awesome! but i have to ask.. why the aluminum hood? wouldn't that be a weak spot?
OOPS?🤭🤫🤔
The only thing not bulletproof. Is the duramax. Almost had it guys
Well I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one that was a tad bit concerned that bullets could ricochet of the cab of the vehicle,but the engine which is the heart of vehicle can possibly be penetrated and disabled by gun fire and eventually my ability to return fire from lack of ammo.also how much Horsepower and torque does either of the two engine options have?Run flat tires?
... and post-apo you lead another war against the next guy for gas .. ?
absolutely brilliant 😞
Looks like the windows don't have any latching mechanism. Just use a prying tool to pop them open.
Looks like a Gaz Tigr and a Humvee had a baby.
I'm surprised they didn't put the fuel door on the b-pillar between the suicide doors so you can have even more protection when filling up
Just simply throw a grenade on the window kaboom! Closing slow 😂😂😂

For commuters in Chicago and Philadelphia.
Schwab, gates will need this pretty soon
we need to see the bulletproofing tests for all the parts of this vehicle.
Whatsda gallons per mile?
5:50 I want to know more about this "Bad History". 😗😗🤭🤭
This is only good for driving around LA pre-apocalypse 😅
Beautiful craftsmanship
The aluminum hood is odd but out of all the other apocalyptic trucks, I would buy this one. Unless there’s something better out there….(comment below)
What would you rather them use? The HMMWV hoods are all SMC.
@@nothingtoseaheardammit You…jk. Something tough to protect the engine.
Beautifull truck but does it have an Atmospheric diesel engine?
I like the tow capacity. However, it's not a match for my $30K grey wolf. I'd have to get something like a Bruder exp8 so the whole thing will set me back at least 600K right off the bat.
You guys should contact TH-cam's whistling diesel see if he'd be interested in one.
DEFINITIVE PROOF THAT PEOPLE WILL ATTEMPT TO POLISH A TURD!!
Muito parecido com o blindado Inbrafiltro Gladiador 2 🇧🇷🇧🇷
This looks like one of those jeeps with the stupid angry grill on it
Nice truck!!
"if you need your happy meal still" yeah well at the speed it closes youd already be dead🤣
How is aluminium hood bulletproof??? or is it only the cab, which means a few bullets in the hood incapacitates the car.
Shaq will be pleased with this beast......
Wow wow wow thanks 😍
What ammo does it stop ... 556? . . .. 308 . . . .45 cal . . . 9MM . . .. 5.7 Black Dragons ????
is the floor armored. i.e., anti-IED?
NICE HUMER BLIN BLIN
Kevlar line the inside of the hood, and watch sales increase
/me imagines potential customer/s post for this truck
as aspiring Drug Cartel upper management i would love this truck for my daily driver yo!
Does it also can handle the test like the marauder?the one from top .
Post apocalyptic vehicles are such a redundancy. You expecting that to run on hopes and dreams lol
"Return defense" 😆
Considering that diesel fuel probably won't be available in a "post-apocalyptic" future, maybe "Ultimate" is not the best description.

Oh.... Diesel. One of the first things to disappear come the apocalypse.
I'll stick with my mountain bike and light body armor, thank you very much.
The ultimate if you can get diesel. Otherwise, nice shed.
Crickey Ukraine will be lining up for these
Why isn't the hatch opening circular? not going to be able to go in and out with your gear on
Easy place landmines or other explosive and the lower control arm and ball joints will disintegrate leaving the truck immobile
Compare Kalyani 10 seater Trucks from India.
They can withstand 50kg IED explosives.
You just know Paul and Nancy Pelsoi have their name on the list for this now.

Yeah, postapocalyptic world where there is no diesel, food, corner shops, people.....
We do funny things just because we can and there are some of us with loads of ill gained wealth😁
Where is the site where I can go in order to order one for myself
Need that for Chicago
YES I LIKE IT
Is it deleted?
you should go off-road in this bad boy
It's fine if that's what you like. But at that price you can bulletproof a Mercedes Benz with just as much protection... and in style.
Is the Engine NOT bullet proof? That engine lid seemed mighty thin!
Very nice bro super awesome guys
Hinges on the outside surely a week point.
RPG-9 result vevicle Pouf 😁😁😁
$270k….for the basic model? Wow! That’s literally no more than a combat veteran’s shop build in his personal garage
Military grade until small IED blows underneath which kills everyone by smacking their heads on top. Then the word ricochet really gets it name.
R the headlights bulletproof
