Re: No more H2....what will we buy?
I plan on sinking money into my H2 to keep it going for a long time. I've thought about what I would do if it was lost or stolen. I've decided I'd spend a long time searching for a pristine on road/ low mileage used H2, that would probably mean traveling across the country to get one and have a thorough PPI. I've considered the H3 since they are more plentiful and I owned one once, but I love the extra room in the H2 and highway ride of the H2.

Re: No more H2....what will we buy?
I agree, I have already made the decision that I will be keeping this truck going for many, many, years. When it is old and tire, rather than dropping $20-30,000 on a new rig of some king I am going to put money into this one nd rebuild/replace and make it like new again. It think it is worth it. There really is just nothing else like it out there. It can not be replaced.

Re: No more H2....what will we buy?
I personally plan on building up my 2, selling it later and progressing through more 2's till I can find/afford a 08/09, if good fortune comes around I'll pick up some sort of H1 in the process. I don't do a whole lot of high mile driving so I could easily drive a low milage 09' H2 into 2020-2022, or even a little later without any major repairs. By the time we get to 2020 I'd be more worried about higher emission standards or really high fuel prices than finding a good condition hummer to drive or keeping mine going. Who really knows what the next 10 years will hold, maybe GM comes around and starts turning out an all electric based H2/3/4/whatever number and we all start driving that.

I'll be keeping mine for many years as well. At least until gas gets so crazy its just not feasable to drive any more. I like the looks of the Ford Raptor but yet its no Hummer. My 06 is paid for now with only 33K on her. I think i can get 10 more good years out of her before any major work. Well see what the future brings, for now shes staying right here.

Re: No more H2....what will we buy?
I'm keeping mine until one of us die...
BUT...if something were to happen (god forbid) and I couldn't find another H2...I think I'd have to give up the 'off-road SUV' thinking and go with a hopped up Avalanche or a Ford Raptor.
I will never lose my enthusiasm for off-road adventure but I don't think I could make the conversion to Jeep. While I have lots of respect for Wranglers as off-road vehicles, I just can't deal with the cramped interior and limited cargo space. I need BIG and bad.
I've thought about a actual HUMVEE...but just like the H1 they'd be much more expensive to maintain. At least with the H2 there's a lot of cross over parts with other 8 lug GMs...that keeps the 'cost of ownership' down.
Just my 2 cents.

Re: No more H2....what will we buy?
We will be keeping our 2008 for a while...... I would really love it if GM began making the Suburban/Yukon XL 3/4 ton with a Duramax or Ford would make the Excursion again with the powerstroke

Re: No more H2....what will we buy?
Since I wanted a unique vehicle, so getting an H2 was a very good decision.
Especially when the vehicle is no longer in production, so the H2 will never looked old.....because there are no new model......
The shape is very unique, when you are on the freeway, the H2 really stands out in comparison with the other vehicles.....
All of the Hummer lineup is truly a vehicle Like Nothing Else.......
