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.
And the Hummer has a potential use over a normal car at least. The others are just unnecessarily big, heavy and idiotic.
Not that many people need the off-road capabilities of the Hummer, but at least it could be used for other things than be a nuisance and dangerous.
The H1 is ridiculously unreliable though, it’s not an actual good offroad vehicle compared to more normal alternatives.
It was like retaliation for that Al Gore climate movie.
“Guys, we might be doing irreversible damage the planet”
“Fuck you! I’m gonna damage the planet even harder!”
It’s still very wide. 6" wider than a modern F250!
Not if you include the F-250’s mirrors.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummer_H1#:~:text=The H1 models feature a,inch (559 mm) step.
And why do you assume the Hummer measurements include them? (Hint: they don’t, it’s 86" without mirrors)
Indeed. Apparently, the H1’s width, including mirrors, is 101".
I drive a 2010 Acura MDX. When I bought it, it was one the largest SUVs in the market. When I bought it people thought it was ridiculous. Jump to today. It’s midsize. I can’t even find it parking lots as it’s dwarfed by every truck and SUV around. Including what used to be economy and entry level vehicles. I have crossbars on it for my kayak to boot.
I’ve got a 2024 pilot. It’s fucking big, but it’s considered ‘mid sized’, which blows my fucking mind until I pull up to a Suburban or the like
