Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road?
This one is parked between two new Blazers, which are as wide and have distinctly taller hoods.
Scary
This is just crazy. I remember seeing these on the road when they first started to show and thought how monstrously huge that is. How is this allowed on the road? Now it looks small next to our current vehicles.
You know what annoys me more than a Hummer, even tho it’s smaller? Actually I don’t know if you care, but I’m saying it:
In my area, there are pickup trucks with those long ass double wide fucking mirrors on the side. Like obnoxiously long, sticking out from the side. They are mods, no way they were shipped out with mirrors stickout out that much.
We have narrow roads sharing the bike lanes here, so I’m waiting for my head to be chopped off.
And if my head gets chopped off, then it’s less posting to Lemmy. So we don’t want that happening!
Even with standard mirrors the Ford Super Duty pickups are wider than the H1 with its mirrors; 105.9" versus 101".
H1 width including mirrors 86.5 inches
2024 f250 width including standard mirrors 105.9 inches
Insane.
The new Hummer EV is even bigger and heavier. GM somehow missed the point of an EV. They were so close to getting it right with the Spark EV a few years ago.
But the worst part is how small the interior is…sat in an H3 at a demo and holy shit it was cramped.
