It might be one of the most innovative vehicles to come to market ever.

Moving racks, a gear tunnel that can be used for seats, flashlights in the doors, a gear cable for the bed that locks with the doors, a carabiner key fob, and the list goes on.

Daddy Doug nerds out over the features in the video below and although longer it is worth the watch if you can put up with it.

It’s incredibly well thought out. Their engineers have had some spare time while they worked through financing rounds so they really went all out finding use of every inch of that thing.

It'd be nice if they'd, ya know, actually build one for sale.

The Hummer has some really cool shite, but I don’t own any Affliction gear so I can’t get one.

Isn't the price point significantly higher?
