GM was pretty slick on designing the H2. The H2 is both wide enough and heavy enough to qualify as a class 3 truck. Its just wide enough to be required to have clearance and marker lights on the roof. This exempts it from luxury tax even though its priced over 50k.
The h2s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 8600lbs. is 100 lbs. over EPA requirement of having to count its gas milage as part of vehicle line and us having to pay Gas Guzzler Tax. Its curb weight is 6400 lbs, which is under the limit for tax credit, but thats a fair trade for not having to pay about $7700 in Guzzler Tax.
