Has anyone seen a Hummer pickup side by side with a TRX or Raptor? I am curious how that stack up when not in Extract mode. Or maybe someone has both and could share a picture.

Extract mode isn't available yet. No-one could really tell me why.Has anyone seen a Hummer pickup side by side with a TRX or Raptor? I am curious how that stack up when not in Extract mode. Or maybe someone has both and could share a picture.
Extract mode was always planned for the second model year, it was in the fine print on the ED 1 reveal, OTA software update for early customersExtract mode isn't available yet. No-one could really tell me why.
I sort of expected it just being a software thing would have been already completed by the time the deliveries started. Wondering if they are going to stick it behind a geofence or anything.Extract mode was always planned for the second model year, it was in the fine print on the ED 1 reveal, OTA software update for early customers
Will not be able to use it on road or over 10 mph is likely, if you know anything about suspension you will understand, when you extend out the dampers it has to be done carefully, or will cause an accident, or rip the dampers apart.I sort of expected it just being a software thing would have been already completed by the time the deliveries started.

Thanks! I don’t think I realized that it would be lower than a Raptor. I was kind of expecting it to be taller.Oh, I got you!
Hummer has more ground clearance, better approach and departure angles, and shorter wheelbase, in other words far better off road in rocks and rough terrain. Hummer has a chopped roof look though, ie short windshield, Raptor is just the regular Ford cab, hence boring looking.Thanks! I don’t think I realized that it would be lower than a Raptor.

Adding to what Tom said as well, the Hummer's air suspension lowers when it parks for ease of entry/exit. You're seeing it in it's lowered mode there, not in driving mode - and certainly not in the highest setting(s) it has.Thanks! I don’t think I realized that it would be lower than a Raptor.

Thanks! Just making sure I can still flex on the other dads in the school drop off line.Adding to what Tom said as well, the Hummer's air suspension lowers when it parks for ease of entry/exit.

That DEFINITELY won't be a problem!Thanks! Just making sure I can still flex on the other dads in the school drop off line.![]()
I've yet to see anything from GMC saying/showing their air suspension can handle high-speed off roading better than a Raptor (which is what it's designed for), although I'd love to hear it's great in those scenarios.Hummer has more ground clearance, better approach and departure angles, and shorter wheelbase, in other words far better off road in rocks and rough terrain.

I’m not sure this will work, sorry, copying from my phone— but there’s quite a bit of video showing the suspension handling high speed bumpy terrain with ease. Here’s a few:I've yet to see anything from GMC saying/showing their air suspension can handle high-speed off roading better than a Raptor (which is what it's designed for), although I'd love to hear it's great in those scenarios.
If you want rocks/slow speed rough terrain, a Gladiator is probably the more apt comparison (or a Gladiator on 35s), although Gladiator breakover and departure angles still aren't as good.
And the Gen 3 Raptor has better ground clearance than the Hummer for now (since we don't get Extract Mode yet) - 11.9 for the Hummer vs. 12.0 on 35s and 13.1 on 37s for the Raptor.
Not really...the proving grounds videos were largely on flat, graded dirt trails showing some drifting. And one of the videos you posted if I recall starts out with a disclaimer that the whole video is made up of CGI trucks. There aren't videos (that I've seen) doing desert whoops or (since all Raptor videos must include this) going airborne...not saying it can't be done. The best I've seen was on this page from GMC where they assert desert domination, but the trails they're on are quite tame:I’m not sure this will work, sorry, copying from my phone— but there’s quite a bit of video showing the suspension handling high speed bumpy terrain with ease
