I agree. I love my Ram 1500 Hemi. I custom ordered my Longhorn with RamBoxes, skid plates, air suspension ... and it is awesome. 5.7 runs flawless.
However, I will buy the new Hummer truck in a heartbeat if it is like the renderings. Come on...1000 hp? Less maintenance. Just give me a 400 mile range.
I hope Hummer takes a page from Corvette and Jeep, allowing you to Custom Order your truck so you don't have to rip off all the things you don't want and buy (again) what you do.
The Tesla truck will have air suspension....the Hummer should have this as an option. I absolutely love it on my Ram. Rides and corners like a Luxury Sedan. I can lower it to get into underground parking which I otherwise would not fit and raise it for off road nasty trails.
Give the option of a Solar Panel Tonneau Cover.....they are out there already....
Dont skimp on Quality. The interiors on the top end Rams make other brand top models laughable.
Make an adaptor to use with Tesla or other EV charging stations.....Network already in place.
I was going to wait for the full Jeep Wrangler EV but if they do this right .... I will buy one.
First off...welcome to the forums,
@vancouverthunder! Glad to have you aboard, you got in before the upcoming reveal...nice 😉
Secondly, I agree with you 100%. The new Rams really knocked it out of the park, on all fronts. Best ride of any truck out there, and a terrific interior. Also, the 5.7 is fantastic...I had it in my old 300C, which I loved. Rumor has it they're going to drop it for a new straight 6, please no!
I have good news for you on a few fronts. First, it's been confirmed that the Hummer will indeed have air ride suspension, just like the Cybertruck and your Ram. This was celebrated here when we first found out, for good reason (but it may only be available on higher trims). Second, the Hummer will also have fully-independent suspension all the way around, which (when coupled with the air ride), could make it have the best ride of any full-size truck in the world. The Ram got high praise for air ride and IFS...imagine air ride and independent in all 4 corners!
Options, fit and finish, etc. remain to be seen. It sounds to us like the Hummer will come with a ton of cool options for convenience, off-roading prowess and general modularity. We already have the "Infinity Roof" removable panels, Crab Mode, Adrenaline Mode, and fast charging. There's been rumored removable doors, a folding midgate (score!), and even a price tag starting around $50k. Also, the interior is supposed to be more focused on utility and less on luxury, but rumor has it that two synthetic leathers, known as "EARTHLUX" and "INTELUX," will be available. Should be interesting.
I think you'd be wise to give the Hummer a good, hard look when it comes out. A few people here already plan on buying!
