The H2 is a modified Suburban, nothing more. When AM General brokered a deal with GM to build the "hummer" line everything but the look was scrapped and retooled to be built from the already existing Suburban line parts. If you expect a H2 or H3 to act like a Chevy 4x4, it will do that. If you expect it to act like a HMMWV, your going off of looks and not actual running gear.

Here is a nice anti hummer vid for ya (hummer owners caution: you might get your feelings hurt by this video): http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Hummer-H2-vs-Jeep_6609.htm

Two years as an OPFOR scout in Hohenfels damn near living out of a HMMWV, two years of running the ranges at Fort Knox in a HMMWV, and a year of playing out in the woods of Fort Campbell in a HMMWV. They are monsters offroad but Jeep's can go more places easier and less abusive on the driver than a HMMWV can. So I don't see why a psuedo suburban would do better at off roading than it's military counterpart. Just my

Jeep's =

glad someone clarified that.


i believe the OP was looking for pics of H2s & H3s gettin recovered by a jeep.

The video link I gave does show hummers getting recovered by jeeps. Pretty funny stuff too. I believe several of the other peoples comments were on the subject so why are you sniping my comment?

Thank you SINCERELY for pointing that out!
The Yukon, scuse me, Hummer, is (usually) about over-compensating. It's a shame more people don't see that.

The white Hummer at the start of the video is an H1 though. How different is that from the HMMWV, other than not having a machine gun mounted?

I love the link you cited for the H2 - www...7_passenger_family_haulers/2003_hummer_h2_...

The H1 had alot fo the same design as a HMMWV so I'd say at first glance that guy sucks at wheeling. But here is a link to a comparison between the two for you to decide. I think they are civilianized cause of DOT standards but I cant say for certain what that does to its abilities offroad.
