Hummer H1 takes on Jimny, AMG G63, and L200 in Tug of War

Is the American brute capable of doing it?

Are you tired of seeing high-performance cars racing each other in drag races? Ok, maybe not. We bet that tug-of-war between vehicles will be entertaining no matter your status. Carwow is producing more entertainment content in recent months. This shows that there’s more than drag racing cars. This tug-of-war video shows a Hummer trying to hold its ground against a strong Mercedes AMG G63 and a Mitsubishi L200. It’s three against one. A fair fight.
The Hummer H1 is America’s representative in all its high-displacement glory. You can go anywhere and fill up at any diesel fuel pump. It is a Hummer and not the more recent H models that have such amenities. The engine is a 6.5-liter turbo-diesel V8 that produces a staggering 197 horsepower and 430 pounds-feet torque. Although it is not as powerful as today’s standards, the Hummer H1 weighs in at 7,200 pounds (3.6 tonnes).

The AMG G63 is the first to attempt to dethrone H1. This worthy contender packs 585 horsepower and 627 pound feet of torque from its 4.0-liter twin turbo V8. The car is lighter at 5,000 pounds (2.25 tons), which is a slight disadvantage. A win for the Merc? The title says it all. The G63 had to call in some friends to have any chance of defeating H1.

A Suzuki Jimny, which can pull 2,200 pounds (1.1 tonnes) more than the competition, would be a great choice. Yes, the 1.5-liter gasoline engine with 101 horses and 96 pound feet of torque did some. As if all that weren’t enough, the non-American side was also represented by the Mitsubishi L200 pickup, which added 3,800 pounds (1.9 tonnes), 140 horsepower and 295 poundfeet torque. The three cars combined were heavier than the H1, and also had more horsepower and torque. It was also easier to pull the cars with 12 wheels, right? Check out the video to find out.
