Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!

[Arizona Hummerboy]

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.

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!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it. No, I haven?t done a test drive yet and mostly because I knew what would happen if I did, I?d buy it as long as it drove as well as well or better than my Ford Lariat. I did peek inside an H2 on a lot and I did not see the interior being any more luxurious that what I currently own at least initially. Then again if I were looking for luxury, I?d be looking to buy a luxury car instead of a truck/SUV. That or a SUV like the Lexus RX that my wife just bought yesterday. It?s a beautiful vehicle, but for me as my personal vehicle, no thanks.

I know the bed of the H2 SUT is small but it?s just right for me. I own a food service business and it?s perfect for throwing in a few boxes of this or that when my suppliers can?t fill an order and I have to buy local. I already have a small trailer for anything larger.

Thanks again for all of your input and I?m ready to give it a test drive. Now all I have to do is figure out a way to explain to the wife why I might be trading out of my current "new" vehicle for no real reason except that I like another one better. That's a conversation that I'm not looking foward to

Need another incentive...PM me and I can get you a discount via GM in the Driveway. It is the same price as a major supplier, and you still get any rebates that may apply.

I just bought an 05 H2 SUT wioth 4k miles on it. I have never owned anything else besides pick-ups in the past, besides my work vans. My current truck is an 04 Ram Hemi with the leather Laramie package, Edelbrock shocks, and to be honest the H2 rides so much nicer. I was surprised being such a large vehicle. The bed on the H@ is really not a bed for me, considering I race motocross and take my streetbike to the track every once in a while. I will just have to buy a small fold up trailer to throw into my garage, since i sold my bigger enclosed trailer.

Once you drive it you will fall in love, I flew from Tampa to Dallas to pick one up and never even test drove one...
