Re: Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!
two weeks ago i traded in an 04 fully loaded avalanche for an 06 H2 LUX and have to admit the H2 is a much nicer truck than the avalanche. I had an 03 and 04 avalanche. Like the ad says "like nothing else"

Why do you want an H2?

Re: Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!
All I can add is that I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago. It was a hard decission. But I too wanted a car that I could rely on standing up to a beating for years to come. I decided to go for it and can say I am completely satisfied. I have owned several jeeps: 2 cherokees, a wagoneer, and a liberty, as well as a bmw. The hummer is definately the best car I have ever owned. It drives almost as nice as the bmw did. I guess you could say it is the truck style bmw. I am so happy I bought the car and look forward to having it for many years. Good luck with your shopping

Re: Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!
Depends on how large A "truck bed" you require occasionaly, the SUT bed is rather small, i.ve seen bigger beer coolers, but it does have A midgate to open up the back seat area to increase the size. Fuel mileage can be an issue, but the way I see it if you love what you drive who cares about spending A few extra dollars on fuel. The best part is your ready to go enjoy trail rides and the backcountry right out of the box with no modifications and still drive it to work monday morning. The most important part no Blue Oval on the grille. I'm not an owner but I work on Hummers on A daily basis and I would say 95% or better of the owners I talk to love their truck. I can recommend an H-2 to anyone and still sleep at night.

Re: Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!
Hey Rob,
Have you taken an H2 for a test drive yet? That's probably all you need in order to decide.
Two weeks ago my wife and I took a 2006 H2 LUX for a test drive and we couldn't resist coming home with it. Best snap decision I ever made. My wife likes it every bit as much as I do. She initially thought that she'd prefer a new Escalade, but that thought quickly evaporated after the H2 test drive.
New vehicles are always cool no matter what you get, but none that I've ever had have impressed me as much as our new H2.
Good luck with your decision!

Re: Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!
Rob
I have a 03 Hummer H2 that I bought in August of 02. It has been the best vehicle I have every own.
If you are looking for a safe vechile for your family, I can tell you just how safe the Hummer is. My wife and I were hit by a Drunk Driver in December of 02, just a short time after buying the Hummer. we were stoped at a red light, and the Drunk Driver ran into the back of my Hummer going 60 + MPH. The Drunk Driver was pass out when she his us, she hit right into my SMA Tire Carrier. If it was not for us having the Hummer we would have been killed in the Accident.
The Dealership fixed my Hummer up for me, by looking at it and driving it you can not tell that the Hummer was every in a Accident. I Off Road in it a lot and I have never had any problems with it. The Hummer is built very tuff.
Here is a link to pictures from my Accident, look at my Hummer and then look at the Jeep that hit me, the pictures will show you just how safe the Hummer is.

Re: Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!
since you said you occasionally need a truck bed for hauling, are you sure the Hummer is the way to go? I traded in my avalanche but also have a GMC pickup in case I need to haul something so I didnt lose anything by getting the Hummer. You can always get a small trailer to haul "stuff" when the need arises. I say get the hummer!
