I guess it depends who you ask on whether you came here to bash the H2 or not. Your opening statement was suspicious. Kind of like the, "Isn't the H2 a Tahoe?" statement. If you are sincere and you stay long enough. You'll know we're a nice bunch. Sick but nice.

Hi Christa...

As another "grocery getter" and carpool mom... here's my take...

The only advice I can give you is to beware of the radio reception on the '03 H2's! I have been round and round with my GM dealer (no HUMMER dealer in my neck of the woods!) about the poor reception, to no avail. To give HUMMER the benefit of the doubt, I DO have an appointment with a dealer next week... we'll see!

However, from my post and research here, I find that my problem is obviously a somewhat common one... and evidently the reason for changing to a "whip" style (DRTYFN, don't go off on that one! -- NOTE the sarcasm icon...) antenna on the '04 models.

Otherwise, I love my H2, and would find it hard to go back to a smaller SUV... Although, my husband would love to see me drive something that is a bit more fuel efficient -- oh well!

Good luck in your research... hope to see a pic of your H2 soon!

OK... just saw "NEW H2" in this topic! Sounds like you are already on the right track!

Although I cannot help with the other questions, I can answer these!

I have the rear tire mount, and like the added room inside. As to the 3rd row seat -- mine is collecting dust in the garage! The only thing I can recommend if you go with the outside tire mount is to keep a pair of gloves handy in the truck... they are helpful in removing that &*^@ pin! (my only complaint... )

I feel fortunate to get 10.5 MPG in town, and about 12 when I have been on the HWY almost exclusively.

Hi Christa!

I've driven my H2 for almost 2 years now and I love it. I drove an F350 super cab long bed and let me tell you, this rig is a lot smaller than one of those beasts! The towing capacity of the H2 is not what you are used to either, so a 2 place horse trailer, max.
The spare tire is huge and it takes up all the interior room in the back. The spare tire holder mounted on the swing in back is one option, but I didn't want to have to grab it every time I opened the door. They get super dirty with rain and road grime out here in the NW.
I know a gal that just went up to Fife, WA to buy hers. She had all good things to say about them. The dealership in Portland/Vancouver is changing hands so I can't give a good report on it.
Definitely get one and drive it for a day or two! I think you'll be hooked.

devilsfan,LoLo & Fubar00,
Thanks for the info. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. The things you've stated are all kinda what I expected. I don't mind hiking a ways in a parking lot. I do that now. I Hate door dings so that really isn't an issue for me. My truck now is also pretty large to fit around tight spots and the turning radius is horrible which is why I prefer to drive my car most of the time though I have heard (from salesman) that the H2 turn capabilities are pretty decent. I havent been off road in a long time, but I think it would be fun to try. My husband had a CJ5 for alot of years and we did do alot of mud running etc. (that was way before kids when getting up early was 10:00 on weekends. I'd pay good money to sleep that late! )
This would be my daily driver most of the time though I would need it to haul a loaded horse trailer or the boat on occasion, and being able to store things in the back is kinda important to me too. Do any of you have any thoughts on the 3rd row seat and exterior mounted spare vs it being inside? I feel now it would be better to have the spare mounted outside, but is it a hassle to get to the cargo area with it mounted back there? Have any of you towed with it? Also would having a center drop down DVD for the kids interfere with visibility too much? What kind of gas mileage do you actually get in this beast anyways? Sorry about all the questions. my husband gets home on saturday and I want to have my guns loaded with viable reasons why this wouldn't be an impractical choice for me! He is also concerned that their value doesn't hold up well. I hate taking the hit after you drive it off the lot, but maybe we can compromise and just find a used 05 with low miles. My husband wants me to get the Sequoia . It's a nice vehicle inside and I know that Toyota makes a good truck that will last forever, but I just don't feel that rush of excitement when I look at it! Something the H2 does for me everytime!
Fubar, i'm not sure I want to meet them! They were pretty funny, both of them, but dennis, jeez! Shove my head up my ass and fight for air , what did I do to deserve that? That is pretty funny though, Even though it was directed at me, It made me laugh! We'll see.
Anyways thanks alot for all your insight. I'm going to get one of these H2's even if I have to resort to bribery, but a few good reasons will help too!
Also, I think your idea of bringing one home for a day or so is a great idea. Something I think I will do.

Thanks !
Christa </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Don't buy the H2 if you are looking for great gas mileage. I think most folks here are getting somewhere between 9-15mpg depending on how they drive and what there doing. Supercharging will help.

Towing, there are several posts here on that subject, take a few minutes and do a search. I am certain you will find the answers to your questions.

3rd row seating. Not practical, most folks have sold there seat, traded it for something or wrapped it in plastic and stuck it in the garage.
Yes it is a pain to have to swing open a tire carrier every time you wish to put something in the back. You could go the route of a Gobi Rack and mount the tire to the roof.

Rear Drop down dvd? Not sure they make a center consol type but they have monitors that fit in the head rest of the drivers seat and passengers seat so the rear passengers can watch dvd's. But yes if you find a drop down unit for the top center console yes it will block what limited visibility you have assuming the tire is mounted on a tire carrier or left in its stock local. If you have more then two kids the H2 probably isn't going to be very practical unless you can get three child seats to fit on the rear fold downs and leave the limited cargo area open by taking the 3rd row seat out.

Resale value; again do a little research you see that some folks are selling there rigs for just about as much as they paid for them. Any vehicle looses its value once you drive off the lot and if this is a major concern consider a lease rather than an outright purchase. Personally I don't see the sense in renting a truck but to each there own some folks like to have the newest, best, biggest whatever so I guess it works for some.

You can certainly find a quality low mileage used H2 just do some looking around and don't buy the first one you come across.

It's perfectly acceptable for ladies to pee in cups as long as said cup is rose tinted, scented with jasmine or lavender, has a nice silk jacquard fabric affixed to the cup (so as not to offend the eyes of the delicate with the unsightly liquid contained therein if cup is clear plastic), their is soft, relaxing music (preferably light classical or sounds of nature) playing in the background to ease the stress and embarassement of actually peeing in a cup, and oh, of course, we NEVER talk about it!!

You say "prick" like it's a bad thing! I guess it all hangs on whether your on the receiving end of it or not! I'm a ways south of Seattle.

You'll notice the icon. That denotes sarcasm.

How far south?Which dealer are you going to buy from? McCann? You should make the drive to PDX. The dealership just changed hands and they're going to be primed for some hot sales.

Bring it on Dennis , I can take it! I worked at a gas station in the 10th grade. I was the happy little cashier and those guys in the shop would go home at night trying to think of new ways to torture or disgust me! It never worked, I can take it and give it with the best of them!!
Git R Done!
