I did see one of the smaller H3's recently. Wrong. GM bought the Hummer name, and then contracted AM General to make the H2 across the street from the plant that makes the H1 and HMMWV. |

Probably all got shipped to Venezuela around 2007. Gas is super cheap there, and used cars are used as a hedge against inflation.

Notice the post by the guy who taught at the off road school in the H2 There really are not that many LR's locally compared to any other SUV and yet, the ones I see on the side of the road broken down seem to be, at least half the time, a LR. [usually a Discovery] Look at the depreciation on a LR, it's staggeringly high, that corresponds to their track record of poor reliability. That said, many owners are more then willing to overlook their faults so they can claim to own a LR. [until the warranty ceases ] |

I see one or two a day.

I used to teach off road driving for a school that had (for a while) H2's. They broke ALL the time. Steering, front CV's etc... ALL the time. The skid plate under the engine broke a lot too. Eventually, they gave up on the H2s, cleaned them up, took off the school decals and traded them in to dealers in NY and NJ. They have no idea those things had been through hell. I snapped a front axle driving gently over a phone pole diameter fallen tree. A fricken lifted Corolla could have done better. View Quote So people with little to no experience learning to drive off road broke a very heavy 4x4 on a test track where they're taught to go over various tough obstacles? Not surprised. You can't drive the H2 like a Wrangler. They weigh like twice as much. Weight is one of the issues. The best off roader? No way. Not by a long shot. But they are what they are. They do decent for a heavy truck. If you buy an H2 thinking its gonna be a beast on the trails, you bought wrong. I have one because I like the styling, it can tow decent (for my needs) and I can afford the gas. Steering components are the big weakness. Cheers! |

Rubi's are very capable from the factory but you are also paying for that capability, it damn well isn't free. I had a hell of a time modding a SUV that had limited aftermarket support.

There are a couple of H3's that show up at the gym. Driven by women. It's been a while since I saw an H2. View Quote The designer of the H3 needs to ne shot. You have to take off a skidplate, just to be able to take off the skidplate blocking access to the oil filter when you change the oil. How hard would it have been to make an access hole with a removable cover like they do on some Fords? The extra $45 would even be justifiable on the $50,000+ sticker price. |

You summed it up better than I ever could. A true trail monster - NO WAY. But with wife, three kids and a dag pulling a 5500# RV I could never consider a Jeep. And I LOVE Jeeps... Fact is my H2 goes off road infrequently. Where it really does belie its size. They can run better than most expect off road, but I am realistic in regards to its abilities... |
