Goverment Motors, the great brand killer (SAAB, Pontiac) never fails to impress. Neighbor got top of line Caddy SUV, engine failed under 100mi due to improper build, new engine in and bought back by GM after threatening social media xxxxstorm.

Looks like a YouTuber trying to generate clicks by ignoring warnings and common sense. The comments are probably a circlejerk about why people NEED their diesel trucks.

The Hummer only has a 1300 lb payload capacity

I watched but still anecdotal. You can buy any consumer product at any price point and assured quality and its is possible to have problem or failure.

Also it was not towed and just needed to have the 12V removed and it reset.

Of course it would have been a frustrating experience but so is having a flat tire.

Appreciate the summary. There was no way I was going to click / watch such a clickbait style video, regardless of the content, but was somewhat interested in what might have happened. Not enough to support the clickbait video, though.

Thanks again.

Take the Rivian F150 and Hummer and do a towing test. Take a 7,000 lb camper and see which one can go the farthest.

At this point all of them can tow farther than the Cybertruck. EVs are not great tow vehicles at this point.

My friend bought a F150 platinum and that truck never touched dirt.

That must be the new fangled hover Rivian. Tires fold out and jets of air shoot out of the wheels

For that one time they don't want to rent or borrow to go cross-country, but mostly for tax purposes.
