I traded in a 22 Braptor for my Hummer. Although the Braptor is fun it’s not in the same park as the Hummer.
- The Braptor is the same width as the Hummer, but inside it’s still a Bronco. It feels like it’s half the size.
- The build quality is not very good. I don’t think the Hummer is $100K+ quality, but it is far and away better than the Ford. They both have frameless windows, but the Ford’s are wobbly. There are entire threads and YouTube videos dedicated to trying to tighten them up.
- The Ford has their 10-speed auto with the poopy algorithms…The Hummer is smooth as silk….for obvious reasons.
- Broncos in general are under equipped. You have to pay extra for power seats. No ‘cooled’ seats. Nothing for the back seats. Forget about digital rear view mirrors, AutoCruise or power anything (other than those wobbly windows).
- You have to select the drive mode you want every time you start the vehicle up….and that gawd awful AutoStopStart……..

Don’t get me wrong, I liked my Braptor but the Hummer is in a league of its own….both literally and figuratively.

@OmegaHummvee I also just traded my 22 Braptor. I 100% agree on all points. I loved mine but the Hummer made me switch. I did like the infotainment system better on the Raptor, however. Much more responsive.

I have a first edition Bronco that I'll be trading in for the Hummer, so I appreciate the feedback!

How does the visibility compare between the Bronco Raptor and the Hummer?

How's the road noise between the two?

As far as visibility, I find them to be very similar. I do give the edge to the Hummer as it has the digital rear view mirror. One thing that bothered me about the Braptor, that is much better in the Hummer, is the blind spot alert. In the Braptor the mirror indicator would come on as the vehicle was entering my peripheral vision which made it useless.

As for road noise, I do think the Hummer is a little bit better but not by much. I have the MT tires and the tire noise is the most prominent sound in the interior. For $100K vehicle there are too many rattles in the interior of the Hummer in my opinion. I did the shrink on the top pins which helped tremendously, but I still fell there are too many. The rear cargo floor/cover in the back rattles a bit on my country roads. It’s a bit of a nitpick on my part but i did expect better for the price. I’m not going to get rid of it over those though.

I have both. Road/wind noise is less in the Hummer. Hummer feels way bigger. My Raptor is a blast to drive. The hummer is my cruiser. With roof panels in, visibility is better in the Hummer because mine has the sky panels. Easier to see traffic lights when I’m pulled up close. And my raptor has zero rattles. I do hear some in the door panels of the Hummer. I’ll look to remedy those soon.

That's a nice combo of vehicles! Which one do you put more miles on, or do you find yourself wanting to drive more?

The Bronco calls to me when I leave it parked. It’s an amazing vehicle for the type of vehicle it is. It is my GoTo summer ride. I’ll be using the Hummer to commute 90 miles each day I go to work. I fly 12 hour shifts, so the SuperCruise is a major plus. And the ride is so smooth and quiet. My wife was shocked at how much she likes being in the Hummer. One test drive and she said “We need to buy this.” It was a completely different tune when we were on our way to the dealership to check it out!!!

That's great to hear! I had a Bronco Raptor, and I really enjoyed it. I only sold it because I also have a Ram TRX and a Land Rover Defender. Being my third cool SUV, I just didn't drive it enough.

I put 100k miles on a TRX. It was a great truck!!

You have good taste in vehicles!

Hey all, currently in a Bronco Raptor and considering leasing a Hummer, either the truck or the SUV. I consider myself a truck guy - have had a few Raptor F150's - and I miss the space. That is the single biggest issue with the Braptor that I have - interior space and cargo space. I'm 6'3", so I need to sit pretty far back - and have 3 boys, ages 2 - 7 (one in a car seat and one is in a booster). Right now, the Raptor is maxed out in space, and it feels so cramped to me. Also, the storage space in the back can barely fit my golf clubs. Looking for some real-world experiences and how the space feels in the 2 Hummer models, especially if anyone has car seats in the back. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum! The Hummer’s back seats don’t quite match the space of the F-150, but they’re definitely roomier than the Bronco. There’s more legroom, and the seats are wide enough to comfortably fit three adults without an issue.

As for cargo space, the Hummer does lose some floor room because of the battery setup. However, it makes up for it a bit in width, so overall it’s probably close to what you’d get in the Bronco.

This is great info. Thank you for the reply! I need to go test drive one soon and check it out in person

Another few things I’ve noticed between the two vehicles (I have a ’21 FE Bronco) is that the Hummer is extremely quiet, just like others have mentioned. It feels much more solid and planted on the road, and you can definitely sense the extra weight. Every now and then I'll hear a creak or the suspension, but that's about it. Turn the radio up and you hear nothing.

Visibility is also noticeably better, especially with the digital rearview mirror. The only drawback I’ve run into is seeing above through the front windshield at times, like when you’re stopped at a traffic light. If you pull up too close, you practically have to lean down to see it.

Let us know if you do get some time to test drive one! I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts as well.

That’s good to know. My wife can’t stand the road noise in the Bronco once you get on the highway lol.

We just did a 350 mile round trip in the Bronco, and I found myself wishing we had taken the Hummer instead. It was a last-minute trip and the Hummer wasn’t fully charged, which is the main reason we left it behind. You definitely have to plan a little more with trips.

I’ve had the Bronco for about 4 years and only put 12,000 miles on it total, but I’m already close to 7,000 miles on the Hummer in less than a year. That says a lot about how much we enjoy driving it! Even my wife, who originally thought it was “too big,” absolutely loves driving it now.
