Let's end this H2 vs. H3 Squabble. Here are the FACTS.

H2 is a dinosaur. The H3 is better in many ways. Mostly when the rocks and branches are scraping the roof and branches in the wilderness. Better yet at the MPG meter and when you behold the beauty of a design that has evolved to a higher pedigree of the ascent of Hummer!!!

Yes.

Why is it that when it comes to off-roading......

Very rarely you hear veteran H2 wheelers downgrading to an H3 when they clearly can. If I thought the H3 was better off-road rig, trading the H2 would be instantaneous. This feeling is shared by most of the H2 community.

But you see more and more H3 wheelers who are upgrading to the H2. Why? I think any educated person knows that answer. The H2 is just better.

I've driven all 3 like a few here have.

H1 is hardcore but uncomfortable and not suited for family and realistic everyday life.

H2 covers the most broadest spectrum for uses and convenience without sacrificing it's Hummer off-road ability. There is no "Embarrassment" factor when I drive it like when I drive the H3(I'm being honest. Don't wig out.) The first (AND LAST) time I drove the H3 as a courtesy car 90% of the comments were of the, "Hey! A poor man's Hummer! What happened? Did you lose your job Dennis?" An extreme reverse with the H1. People automatically thought I was going to be a prick when clearly I'm a very likable guy.

H3 is a successful attempt at building an economy car that looks similar to the H2 but geared to drive Hummer sales by reaching a larger class of people. Unlike the H1 and H2 though, it does not have a unique identity since it clearly looks like a tiny version of the H2. And unlike the H2 which retained key H1 dna, the H3 is a pure GM vehicle with just the Hummer decal. It wheels great. But not even close to the H2. For a reason.

I have a question and need a fact!

H2's are better offroad hands down but.....

If the H3 is "so much better" ()

Of the 99.9 % of H3 owners here that never thought of offroading before buying an H3 or more importantly finding this site.....

what was the rationale when you bought it?

[DennisAJC]

Let's keep the responses civilized people.

H2ers tend to be calm and courteous as you can see. There are no cheap words or insults being thrown or directed towards you H3ers. So please, some of you folks elevate yourselves to our (H2ers) maturity level and start responding with calm constructive replies. Non of these predictable child-like tantrums that will just add to the growing list of negativities towards the H3.

Thanks.

Once and for all, the H2 is capable. The H3 is capable. The H3 can get in to tighter spots. The H2 can't. The H3 is truer to the Hummer name because I said so. So there.

I have an 05 H2,
and was wondering if I put a BIG baby stroller wing and a weed eater muffler on it do you think I would go faster?
I read an article somewhere that just slapping a K&N filter sticker will give me an extra 20 ponies.

Now you wanna know why the above words are placed there? because to the right crowd (ricers) it's damn funny, now obviously there are not any ricers here but "we" just like ricers are allways going to "talk up" our respective wheels.

My $.02 whether it's wanted or not is this....
WHO GIVES 2 SH1TS!? you bought your 1 2 or 3 for your own reasons, and even though you think it's the baddest ride on the planet there is still a part of it that you wish you could change.
I didn't get the H1 because the interior looks like an old truck, I didn't get the H3 because it looks like a jeep, those are my reasons...everyone is going to have different ones.
Every day I get a load of crap about my hummer (too much gas-too much money-not practical-no places to take it off road-ect-ect-ect) but i tell em all the same thing, I got it because i wanted it, and I fukn feel good driving it.
Should sh1t ever go down i know in my gut that all i gotta do is push a button for 4 low and i will be able to crawl out of just about any situation.....not to mention that i'll be able to pull someone else out.

so sit back and ask yourself....why did i buy it
AND BE PROUD OF YOUR DECISION!
because truth be known...yeah the H1 may be the king of all beasts....
but does anyone here remember the old International pickups!? THEY were superior IMO to ANYTHING on the road today

ok..i'm done, you may now return to your regularly scheduled programming
