2024 GMC Hummer EV

Hummers are known for off-roading, but they do have their limits.

TikToker, Allen Skillicorn, who was driving was first-generation Porsche Cayenne, posted his find to social media to try and solve the mystery.

While it’s still unclear how it got there, why, and who it belongs to, it seems to have suffered a major suspension failure.

“Tie rod must be broken. I can see the CV joint is torn because there is a lot of grease in there,” Skillicorn explains.

It’s unclear how that happened, but the 11.0-mile point-to-point trails near Fort McDowell, Arizona, where the truck appears to have broken down, are labeled ‘moderately challenging‘.

An unexpected obstruction or simply attacking a bump in the road could be to blame.

In a seven-year mystery that is no closer to answers, this hiker discovered a mystery car buried in snow on a Californian mountain with a cryptic note on its dashboard.

Elsewhere, explorers discovered hundreds of cars abandoned in this mountain cave, it’s believed the cars may have been stolen and every vehicle in the cave is a VW from the 1950s.

Meanwhile, this Mercedes Benz G-Wagon seen effortlessly climbing a mountain like it’s a mogul.
