Thanks for replies. Sounds like there are no major "first year" issues. It always makes me nervous buying any model of car / truck that is a first year release......

Go on line and buy the extended warranty.. I have and it was cheaper!!

The others have touched on the minor problems associated with the early models. As far as towing...... I have been very happy with the few times I have towed with mine. I towed my Z06 on a very heavy duty equipment trailer, was told the trailer weighed around 3400-3500 lbs and my car weighs in at 3050-3100 depending on how much fuel is in it. Round trip was around 400 miles and it pulled effortlessly, still was able to pull around 9mpg doing 65. I have pulled my 2000lb 2 place jet ski trailer on over a 1000 mile round trip and averaged 12.3 mpg and you wouldnt even know you had anything hooked to the back. I can assure you that unless you are towing something very very heavy (recommend a Diesel Pick up for that) you will be pleased.

Doesn't sound too bad. I sold my 03 a few years back and only had to have the ignition replaced. Dealer blamed it on the TV's that have to run through the ignition (they installed them). Other than that it was great.

I just pick up an 05 lux with 31K miles for 27.5K. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Thanks for all the info guys/gals!

I had changed my mind for a while, but I just keep coming back to the Hummer!

Is there a place I can go and look at what "luxury" package includes? Or see all the options that are available??

I paid 25K for an 04 H2 with 27K miles on it a few months ago. This is my 2nd H2 (first was an 03) and I have had almost no problems, the biggest problem I had was broken windshields and of course they are a pain to park, fit in the garage or carwash but I can deal with that. An 03 should sell for around 18-22K depending on mileage. Common problems include ignition switch, power steering pump, mirrors, but those problems should have already surfaced on a truck that old. I just had to put a battery, hood cables, and an ignition switch in mine but I think that is acceptable for a truck that will be 6 years old.


The H2 is built under contract by AM General at a specially constructed plant in Mishawaka, Indiana, USA. Although it shares GM's GMT820 truck platform with the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, those vehicles differ in many ways and are constructed in three other GM plants.

Thanks ....

Is there two different motor sizes, or one motor for all years?

I'm looking at spending 20-25k...... year is no matter, unless I"m missing something.

I think the motor was basically the same until 2008 & 2009 when it got bigger, with more horse/torque, a fairly noticeable improvement...
