here's one crapping out a hummer now.


here is some more eye candy.
Top gear?

That was a seriously funny video! I couldn't stop laughing
And that is exactly why H2's or H3's don't go offroad.

I know a guy with an H3 and he wheels the shizznit out of it. He's even a Trail Guide on our group runs....and not on the "bunny" trails either. He has one of those Jeep Recovery decals too...because (sadly) it's occasionally true

The H3 seems a little more agile. I can see it running the trails a little better than the H2.

H1s are nice. but the ride quality is just horrid and they have no real power. especially the 6.2 diesel. it has such a hard time maintaining highway speeds. but i have actually driven one through 4 feet of snow without a single problem.

the HUMVEE's top speed is just 60mph. but it will literally do that through anything.

I grabbed a ride in a US army HMMV in Bosnia way back when... seemed happy to go anywhere, but our land rovers did better just because they fitted the local's wheel ruts better and the place was heavily mined....

I heard that the HMMV is so wide for the opposite reason - so it can fit in tank tracks and avoid mines that way.

thing is it wasn't an HMMV the OP saw... sure the HMMV is definitely bad ***, The H1 is pretty cool too... It is the General Motors spin off of the HMMV and the H1 that suck. The H3 is only better then the H2 on the trail because the H3 isn't a hummer like body on a suburban chassis. It is a hummer like body on a trail blazer chassis. It is a smaller and lighter vehicle.
