Indy 500 Preview with NBC's Leigh Diffey

In this episode of Big Jims Garage, Jim takes you inside his week-long test drive of the GMC Hummer EV 3X—the over-the-top electric pickup that proves GM still knows how to make a jaw-dropper. From Watts To Freedom mode to CrabWalk and luxury off-road performance, this is the future of American innovation in a 9,000-pound monster.

Then, we shift gears to the resurgence of Detroit muscle. Is the Shelby GT500 coming back to Ford? Could Dodge resurrect the Hemi V8 in the age of EVs? Jim digs into the facts, the rumors, and what it all means for performance car lovers who aren’t ready to let go of that V8 growl.

Whether you’re team EV, team V8, or somewhere in between—this episode hits the gas on both fronts.
