"Especially since it is my wifes and the most off road she will do is cut through the grass at the mall." Frankie Honey....cutting through the grass at the mall??? You didn't know that I sometimes read posts at Ferrari Chat did you?? Another quote from you...."She loves big vehicles and could drive a bus through a small tunnel blindfolded. I have her back my Ferrari in the garage for me as she can do it so much better than I can." At least you admit that I can maneuver vehicles better than you. If you take that into consideration with the fact that I brake better than you around Road Atlanta, who is the better driver?? For the record, I believe it is you that we will find cutting through the grass at the mall while I am in Indiana at the Hummer Offroad Experience! I love my H2! Thank you dear! Have a good day the the office! Your Loving Wife, MParker | ||

I think most of your comments are correct for those who want an offroad vehicle. But, according to Hummer, approximately 60% of the H2 buyers are women who use them as one would use a minivan, ie..a kid hauler. That is what my wife intends to do. The big advantage to her over a minivan is the safety of the H2 and its ability to pull a horse trailer. She likes its "in your face" looks too. I get the great tax credit as well. | ||

Hummer (all varieties): Way too big for serious offroad use...you wouldn't get a mile into back country in Colorado before you got wedged. Maybe OK for Moab or desert. Great for cruising! BTW, I have seen some stock Wranglers climb some serious •••• in Moab. Short, high,narrow wheelbase is the way to go in most offroad situations, and power = weight, eh? | ||

The H1 is a good vehicle for the military. You can put all kinds of guns and missiles on it and drive through the sand. As a hard core off road vehicle it comes up lacking. As Tyler mentioned it's size can be a problem, the H1 is very wide and simply can't fit down some trails. They also seem to get stuck rather easily, my brother has rescued a couple of them.

Looked at the G55. I'm into the off road capability of the vehicle. The G is the german army hummer. It is the best off road vehicle available. Range Rovers don't look that good stuck in the mud. In fact, I've never seen one in the mud. Read the reviews boys! If you want to go off roading, get a G. The G55 has too much extra stuff hung onto it and only 50 extra HP. I opted for the G500 kompressor (aftermarket option) at 490 HP. You are correct about the hummer and the 40 degree angle. To bad the G is rated at 52 degrees. The G55 is even better ( sits 2" lower). The G is the only 4X4 equiped with front, center, and rear locking differentials and it will out climb anything. With the 5 speed autobox and the kompressor, it will out accelerate any modern Ferrari to about 80 MPH. Thats more than enough to beat any new Ferrari in the stoplight grand prix. So why did you buy your Ferrari? | ||

Yo Frank watch yourself when you pull into the garage. On my mom's there is also only about an 1/8 of an inch clearance and she has the air suspension and compressor. If the suspension was raised by accident which it was once the roofrack will nail the garage. This broke 2 of the little roof lights and bent the rack. It is fixed though watch yourself. Also you would be surprised how often the air pump comes in handy. It works great on tires, rafts, and you would be amazed how often it really saves you. For $50k it isn't bad considering the G500 costs about $80k and it isn't that great, and yes I have driven one. I wasn't a fan of the styling they haven't really changed them in over 20 years. The interior quality is better but for $30k more it should be. Also the G500 just reminded me to much of driving a jeep from the view out the drivers seat. But this is just MHO.

JOhn, you are right and wrong at the same time. Yes all its looks features are fake. Most comes from the original Hummer H1 styling that they tried to take over and yes that will lead to some humps here and there that are non-essiential. On the air inflation system you are wrong though. They come with an optional air inflation system combined with an aircompressor and air compressor outlet in the trunk. Quite practical if you are on the track with your Challenge car and the trailer and do not have to schlepp the aircompressor with you because you have it built in to your towing vehicle. I also like the 12v outlet in the back for the cooler as well as 3 12v outlets in the front for cell phones, Laptops etc. At the end of the day it is a Yukon on steroids. The fuel economy I get from the onboard system. | ||

John, why would one buy a G or H2 for drag racing ? In any event, it is the car my wife wanted and she loves it. That is all that matters to me. By the way, as to off road capability, the H2 is the ONLY street vehicle on the market that will laterally traverse a 40 degree incline without rolling. From what I've read and seen so far, the H2 will perform offroad better than I will never need. Especially since it is my wifes and the most off road she will do is cut through the grass at the mall. | ||
| John Whelan (Fodee)
Junior Member Username: Fodee Post Number: 64 Registered: 10-2001 |
Everything on the H2 is fake. It has to be the biggest poser mobile in history. Every styling clue on the thing from the air intakes to the bumpers is fake. The factory wheels are designed to "look" like it is equipped with central inflation but it's not. Off road capability is zero ( can't lock all of the diffs). It's overloaded as it sits. It is just a body kit on a Chevy pick-up. It reminds me of a Lambo replica on a Fiero. My favorite story is the time that I raced this 18 YO guy up a hill in my MB G500 and we were dead even. When we got to the next light, he rolled down the window to ask me why my I wasn't faster for all of the money that I spent. I said nothing. As we pulled away from the light he noticed that I was towing a rather large ski boat. | ||

Tom, according to the window sticker the H2 is a "wagon" not an SUV. Bob, I have never knocked the quality of an H2. I had never even sit in one until Saturday. But, as I posted below, I was dead set against it until I took a 24 hour test drive now being offered by Hummer dealers. Bill, we got the sunroof option which gives the cabin a more airey feeling. We also have the spare tire mounted on the outside so we have plenty of luggage and cargo room inside not counting all the room on the roof rack. I was shocked how smooth it drove and rode and how nice is was inside. Now I still wouldn't want it as my daily driver, but my wife likes it and it is hers anyway. She loves big vehicles and could drive a bus through a small tunnel blindfolded. I have her back my Ferrari in the garage for me as she can do it so much better than I can. Another plus is it will pull our horse trailer whereas my wife's old Honda Odyssey would not. | ||

I spent some time in an H2 a year or so ago. Once you get over the feeling that you are driving in a cave (due to the low roofline) it was okay, but the carrying capacity was severely restricted due to the placement of the spare tire. Unless you get an external tire rack you won't be able to carry groceries anywhere but in the backseat. A large, overly heavy truck with little or no cargo space? Not for me. | ||

How many out there own both a Ferrari and a Hummer ? My wife bought a 2004 Hummer H2 yesterday and loves it. I was against it at first , but after driving it a few miles I like it too. It really is nice inside and doesn't drive like it looks. It reminds me a lot of driving a GMC Yukon, except much better build quality. I am having a video system installed later this week for the kids. |
