>>28469581>>28469578the hummer is a completely different car than the rest of the trucks.
the formula for GM trucks has not changed in almost 20 years, and most of the parts in them are shared with something else. the biggest shift came when people stopped buying short cabs and went to crew cabs.
the eboost brake system is an off the shelf part.
the 10 speed was shared with ford.
theyve made small block V8s for 60 years, and share them with the SUVs.
the transfer case is an off the shelf part.
the SUVs share almost everything with the trucks, and have a higher profit margin.
GM loved this platform so much, they shrunk it down and made it into the new colorado.
at some point, you just keep cranking out what works, and issue small updates to the platform to make it more livable/keep up with Ford.
where GM does better than ford, is there meme nonsense like the Hummer EV ends up actually trickling down into cars people buy. the lessons learned from the hummer directly apply to the base equinox EV
