    It’s time for a David vs Goliath off-road battle!
    Mat’s lining up for the first challenge in the little Suzuki Jimny, and he’s lining up against a huge Hummer H2!
    Now we’re sure we don’t need to tell you, but the stats on these two cars are vastly different. Starting with the Jimny, it’s housing a 1.5-litre petrol engine under the bonnet that can deliver 101hp & 130Nm of torque. Thankfully, it does come equipped with low-range mode, and it’s also pretty light, weighing in at just 1,100kg.
    It’ll come as no surprise that the Hummer weighs a whole lot more, tipping the scales at over 3,000kg! But then again, it’s also packing a pretty big engine, with a 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 under the bonnet that’s good for 393hp and 563Nm. Just like the Jimny, it has a low-range mode, but it also comes with a rear-locking differential as well as mud-terrain tyres!
    So what do you think, will the mighty Hummer take down the Jimny? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

    I was traveling up a snow covered dirt road and all our full size V8 4x4s were getting stuck half way up the mountain. A convoy of 3 Suzuki Jimnys went around our big 4x4s and headed the mountain. It looked like they were riding mostly on top of the snow covered road instead on digging into the snow. Thats when I gained respect for these small 4x4s.

      Snow is all about surface contact patch to weight ratio. That’s why the best thing in the snow is a snowmobile. And that’s also why an ATV will outperform any truck or 4x4.
      I’ve seen some old Square body chevys people were running on 20 inch wide tires in the snow, it was almost as if it was floating

    Was a fun comparison even though the Hummer was non functional and the Suzuki had stupid tires . I have Geo Tracker of 97' vintage with AT2 tires and often surprise people while out in the mountains or sand . The low horsepower and weight give it quite an edge in many situations . Also the short wheel base and great approach and drop off angles are very good . The factory skid plates front and rear do their job well . I have had the pleasure of pulling out a Land Rover in sugar sand and a Mercedies also in sugar sand . The look on their faces was priceless .

    One thing that didn't get mentioned is, if a Hummer was to go on a 4x4 club run,
    They would find their car would not fit some tracks (or have difficulty) if it was well worn by normal 4x4!
    Reason being, Hummers have a much bigger wheel width track.
    Mind you, I am a big Suzuki 4x4 fan, having owned two hard top SJ413 Samurai's and one soft top

    @shadetreewrenching Před rokem +88

    Agree with some others in that this was somewhat disingenuous. The H2 was an obviously unloved (since no one even bothered with fixing things like 4WD modes and rear diff lock), at least a 15 year old model. The one used was a 03-07 which has a 6.0 with a 4 speed trans (325hp and 522Nm) - you listed the specs for an 08/09 model which is the 6.2 with a 6 speed trans. Had the 4WD modes worked (instead of just the high range AWD) and the rear diff lock the outcomes would have been quite different.
    For what it is though - that little Jimny is quite a capable little beast! And to be fair for the Jimny, if it also had mud terrain tires it also would have likely done better as well. That alone, even with the H2 being well sorted might still have given it the win.

    • @mitchwest6453
      @mitchwest6453 Před rokem +12

    • @sramvokermvp278
      @sramvokermvp278 Před rokem +6

      I mean, the HUMMER can fit 4 adults comfortably, longer wheelbase means much more stable highway cruising and you don't bounce around as much as inside a Jimny, larger contact area tires would beat the Jimny in very muddy situations, also has more cargo space meaning more space for your offroad tools and whatnot. You also get more respect while driving a HUMMER compared to driving a Jimny.
      Some larger SUV's or pickup trucks might bully the Jimny in sketchy situations in highways.

Isuzu and Landcruiser are the only other 2 vehicles outside Grand Vitara I know of that can tow boats to seriously hard launch sites. Nothing LR makes can do it they are over rated as 4x4s and unreliable junk and the German 4x4s are a joke. There are only four vehicles fit for purpose in the 4x4 category now since LR decided to turn the defender into a tank that gets stuck all over the place because of its weight.

    No body gonna talk about how the hummer is broken and the Jimmy isn't on proper tires?. I honestly feel like the Jimmy still would have won't but it would have been better on decent tires and if all the hummers systems was working. Seeing all the vehicles that have came in this show ik he could have found a Hummer working correctly or atleast checked. They should run a rematch for content sake

      Agreed... so much on that Hummer was broken its embarrassing that they decided to go through with it.

    I've done quite a lot of Off Roading in V8 Range Rover, Disco 200, 300, D2 and a Jimny. If you want a pond skater that is so much fun to drive then use the Jimny.......

    I am a bit partial to the Hummer, it's a literal tank on wheels.
    But that Jimny too surely is on absolute FIRE 🔥

    Horses for courses - you can set out an obstacle course where a Unimog will do all the obstacles and a Jimny none, and then you can set out an obstacle course where the Jimny will do all the obstacles and the Unimog none (in some instances larger is better and in some instances smaller is better).

      A mate has both on his property. The Jimnies over all are better than the unimog. The Unimog is shit in mud,, but good over big rocks. It is a work truck with a hijab on it. The Unimog has torn tyres from the rims, and they are not cheap.
