Hummer H2

[hulk161]

Hello guys,

Thinking bout buying this for family truck. Has 72k. Would love feedback.

Looks good to me. Doesn't it sit on the same chassis as our trucks? Along with the basically same drive train?

 

[hulk161]

Yes it does. Its basically a yukon with downgrade hummer h1 look. Love the look.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Me too. I've never heard anything negative about them, other then gas mileage sux.

Always wanted one. Love the obs myself

 

[hulk161]

I love the obs as well. I met a girl after college that her dad had 3 obs. I feel in love with her off that alone

for as big as they look, they are not that roomy.
as long as you are happy with it, you'll be fine


dont do any hardcore off-roading...i have seen lots of them break front end components. trying to wheel
if you do, upgrade everything you can

It's all looks. Interior is rather small for something that size. Of course I'd rock it but keeping it fueled is another issue

I was upgraded into one at a rental car company once and really did not like the Hummer. Big, ponderous feeling, bad mileage. The biggest thing i didn't like was the visibility out - small windows. Can't see the corners of the truck and backing and parking was a pain.

Make sure you give it a good test drive ...

Thats funny you said this. Test drove it today. The ride is hard, the windows are small for such a big truck as well as it seems like it had a deadspot looking through side mirrors.

Tie rods break. There are upgrade options, just like our trucks.

IIRC. these run a hybrid front suspension that borrows some parts from 2500 series suvs. There is definitely significant diferences and looking into a forum that focuses on these trucks would be beneficial.

Ever see the Bam Morgera show where they took his H2 and jumped it over a dirt jump? Destroyed the front end

Post that like !


I would love an H2 also. But for the price tag and the cheep build quality it's not worth it. Yes it's built on the 2500 chassis but it seems like it's all put together with half ton stuff. I have been looking for a neglected one that needs work. A LQ9 and a 6L80 would be instore for it and a 3500 suspension up grade. I did most of the research but no luck nailing down a hummer.
Luckily I have a few friends that own one and I drive them from time to time. Can fix the drive line but the interior will still need lots of help. The plastic is very brital and breaks easy.

The one your looking at looks amazing. If you purchase it post up some pics.

I think is drives ruff due to the tires. They look like Bridgestones and they don't ride too good. It also looks like a bigger rim and lower profile tire. That could contribute to the ruff ride. The ones I have driven were all stock and drove softly. Who ever owned this one took care of it. Looks clean as hell. I am sure it's detailed to the **** but is clean. And low km

i drove an H2 about 10 years ago and i had the same sentiments as aces-n-eights. id rather have a tahoe/yukon any day of the week. the interior felt so small and cramped compared to my tahoes airy and open feeling.

 

[quest51210]

What was the asking price?

 

[hulk161]

There insane. They want 28900. For that mileage there nuts.

I looked at another one tuesday. Lower miles, like 43000. They wanted 31450 out the door.

There nuts for a truck 10 to 11 year old

 

[quest51210]

Buy an Escalade and call it a day lol

 

[hulk161]

I know man

 

[Martinjmpr]

I'd rather have a 2500 Suburban or XL but that's just me, I guess.
