Like to put it against an X5 on real off road trails.
Congrats on the purchase! Enjoy it.

I actually like the H3T. If it were priced right, Im sure it actually would have sold real well.

The H3T was the only hummer I would consider owning. It would be great for all my home depot runs.

I got it for $33,900. I wouldn't have paid any more for it. It definately wasn't worth the $40,900 sticker price.

My wife really loves it, so that's what I really care about.

Good fuel economy? Compared to what? An aircraft carrier?

I think you got ripped off. Bet you would struggle to get 25,000 if you sold it tomorrow.

Yeah, those big ones that the Military mechanics hate, and can't fit in the paces that even the H2 can fit. Yeah, that's the one to get.

Enthusiasts on boards like this bitch and moan about people buying way too big SUVs, and when someone chooses the smallest of the manufacturer's lineup, they are derided for not getting someothing big enough. Love the hypocracy.


Buy what you like. Let others buy what they like, and quit being stereotypical BMW dicks about it.

What do you think about playing with an LR2?

Bet it would spank this "SUV" without much hassle.

you proved my point. theres a reason the military uses a hummer from the 80s til this day.
man i love some people on this forum

my point is: why dont people who buy H2s and H3s, buy suburbans or tahoes? they are cheaper too. the new suburbans look pretty nice and function almost the same way. all you're really paying for [when you buy an H2 or H3] is the word "hummer"

any car/SAV/SUV whatever you wanna call it, used in 100+ fahrenheit weather driven in rugged terrain is going to be a nightmare for any mechanic. talk about bitching and moaning.

H3 because it is on a different platform which is a lot more capable at off roading(GMT-355 Colorado platform) then the GMT-800 HD platform( H2).

makes sense but i will always prefer the H1 for off-roading out of the 3

my favorite off-roaders are H1s, fj cruisers, lr3s, and defenders. mb G320s werent too shabby either although i wish i can drive one myself

Okay, I'll play this stupid game...

So exactly how much longer will the Earth's environment stay habitable (in your mind) if my truck adds 3,494 units of CO2 more per year to the atmosphere than your small, unnecessarily over powered car? 1 billionth of a microsecond perhaps?

You draw the line that my Hummer is too big, too heavy, to what? I draw the line that your car is too small and overweight for its size, and the engine too powerful for the need to propel it at a reasonable pace.

Please go try to annoy someone else who gives a crap.

You asked the question I provided the answer.

If you arent part of the solution you are part of the problem no matter how significant.

The fact that you dont give a crap is the problem sir.
