What’s it like to drive the GM Defense next-generation tactical vehicle?

If the Army decides to replace the venerable Humvee, GM Defense has a candidate vehicle ready. We got to drive it on a test track - find out what it was like.

[@ericparks2186]

They seriously need to put these on the civilian market.

[@Sillyboi2308]

For sure

[@JefferyEdmonston]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@edwardj.coxjr.3031]

I as well .

[@sixpest]

I mean it really is a normal Chevy pickup just with armor.

[@khiobi1687]

Looks like something Master Chief would drive

[@ericdeichman1204]

Very nice. How is it against IED’s and armor piercing bullets? Does it have night vision assist for stealth approaches. Does it have autonomous driving that could be paired to the crew so they could have the vehicle come to them by itself. What is the range with bulletproof glass? Does it have adjustable tire pressure like a humvee? What about drone counter protection and drone release of its own? No position for a 50 cal.?

Diggin the bed on the mega cab

[@glennmorris25]

that thing is electric, if it has a diesel engine, its to charge the batteries

[@jackbarnhill9354]

They did this back in the 80s with a thing called a CUCV. Rode on one during desert storm. It was a nightmare cross country.

[@lavellemaxon9478]

This could change the game 🎯

[@edwardj.coxjr.3031]

Recommend two power ports be installed. One on vehicle side and one in cargo area near lift gate. Provide charge port, power take off to allow vehicle to power external Equipment as a power generation source.

My one question is does it have def or does the USA not have to follow the epa rules like the civilians do

[@glennmorris25]

@@AndrewJohnson-w2y farmers dont even follow rhe rules, no way uncle sam is following the same rules… unless its incredibly wasteful and profitable.

[@AndrewJohnson-w2y]

@glennmorris25 a majority of tractors come factory with def now. Removing them on the other hand is different. I guess I should've specified from the factory without def

[@glennmorris25]

@@AndrewJohnson-w2y they get to use red diesel for their industry

[@AndrewJohnson-w2y]

@glennmorris25 red diesel is the exact same as green(clear) diesel. The only difference is that is has dye in it. So it burns the exact same as diesel in any other vehicle. Anyone could technically run it in any vehicle without any issues. With or without def fluid

[@justinnav]

​@@glennmorris25Farmers with new equipment definitely have to follow the rules. All new farm equipment over 74hp requires def and regen.

[@deathmore554]

But have they shot at is with different weapons to test the different rounds that the soldiers would come under fire from

[@simonedaniel]

This is a platform demonstrator, I don't think they intended for it to be fully armored, this is perhaps even a pre-alpha version of the vehicle

[@isaiahbrinson3197]

I’d trade my Taco in on for one of these.

Vehicle needs video assist for all corners

[@MARINE1FORCE6425]

Anything can drive over dirt trails, that was not a real tactical test!

[@robertwzell4078]

I agree, and they have some soccer mom that drives a minivan do the off road test drive, what joke!!!

[@roccocaiozzo6789]

If the transmission don't blow I got 17500 had 3 allready

[@justinnav]

It is an EV. I doubt it has a transmission.

[@MARINE1FORCE6425]

Correct!!

[@bvan9987]

John Johnson and jed judson , really?

[@Dukelanovic]

Not everybody has the driving skills like Hassan Muminovic (Konjevic Polje, Bosnia) and I can imagine that this big vehicle could get easily get stuck in the hills of Bosnia while driving trhough the mud. What we miss is a World War II small Jeep that can be easily pulled out of the mud so that military operations can be done more effective. This jeep is good for logistics, but on the battlefield an easy target, especially if you got a jungle much more difficult than in Nam. I hope that over here in Bosnia will be peace.

[@justinnav]

Why would they pick a soccer mom to be the one to test drive this thing and explain its capabilities? Surely it would have been better to have someone drive it who has some experience driving off road to compare it to.

[@michael-co5pi]

Maybe she is a off road expert

[@justinnav]

@@michael-co5pi Yeah in her minivan 🤣

[@chiefwillyj5486]

Get real people who do Four (4) Wheeling to test it out... Plus you should get better Articulate People who sound like they know what they're doing... Oh my minivan we wouldn't be able to do this... No Kidding... And the Military guy sounds like Bill Clinton with that Froggy I need to clear my throat yet I have to force myself to speak. And Seriously get a real Track... Both On Road and Off Road... I would like to get one for testing... I live in a Country Setting... Mountains all around... Yet I doubt Chevrolet would even think in that direction... And would it even be Available to The Public... Or even Private Collectors...??? Personally I do not believe in WAR... Well Peaceful Travels.
