Hummer H2 - Facts Hummer H2 - History Hummer H3 - Facts Hummer H3 - History The Hummer H2 is an SUV and SUT that was marketed by General Motors under the Hummer brand. The Hummer H2 was first available with a 6.0L V8 engine, but in 2008 it changed to a 6.2L V8. The Hummer H2 is a large truck, while longer, heavier, and taller with room for six passengers. The rearmost part of the H2 SUV was modified to a pickup truck bed for the 2005 H2 SUT. The Hummer H3 was introduced in 2005 and is based on the GMT355 platform. The H3 was first powered by a 3.5L straight-5, but in 2007 it was replaced with a 3.7L. Also, available was a 5.3L V8 that was only with models equipped with automatic transmissions. The Hummer H3T was introduced as a 2009 model, and was a crew cab pickup truck with a 5' bed.hummer H2 Sut rear View The H2 can attack 60 percent grades with a 40 percent side slope and has a fording depth of 20 inches. Not bad for a luxury utility vehicle that goes head-to-head with such gentlemen adventurers as the Range Rover, the Lexus LX 470, and the Lincoln Navigator.
And with an open bed that accommodates messier chores, the H2 SUT is indeed a vehicle for all seasons and reasons.

The factory tire carrier on the Wrangler does not leave much room for a larger tire. A large 33 inch or 35 inch tire on the tailgate carrier will cause the tire to hit the bumper and the tailgate won’t close. Another issue around the factory tailgate carrier is weight. A large wheel and tire combination can be very heavy which causes excessive wear and tear on the tailgate hinges and the tailgate tire mount itself. After market tire carriers, whether tub mounted or bumper mounted, solve the issue of both physical size and weight restrictions of the factory spare tire mount.

For the 2008 model year, a restyled H2 remedies that with a high-quality interior befitting a model of its price. The seats are new, and the H2 SUV includes a full third row that seats two people, in place of the single seat offered on previous models. The H2 SUT (sport utility truck) still has an open pickup-truck bed with a folding midgate that extends the 2.9-foot-long cargo floor into the cabin, to a 6-foot maximum.
Powertrain changes are claimed to update the truck functionally, and minor cosmetic enhancements will set it apart from the 6-year-old first-generation H2. The main styling changes are to the front end, where the grille openings have grown and the Hummer logo has migrated downward from the grille segments to the bumper immediately below. The formerly black bottom third of the bumper is now finished to match the brushed-metal skid plate, which remains embossed with an H2 logo. The rear bumper received the same treatment below the spare-tire carrier, where the recovery hooks and hitch receiver emerge. The H2's boldness and offroad capabilities have always been recognized, but when Hummer positioned it as a luxury vehicle, its insides begged to differ. Following the Chevrolet Silverado's lead, the H2's interior is now vastly improved. In addition to its more sensible, refined shapes, the dashboard features glowing blue gauges and trim that's among the best faux-metal finishes on the market, first seen in the H3.
The new seats are said to address complaints about the earlier ones' comfort levels. Though the goal of the backrest-mounted shoulder-belt retractor was a noble, safety-related one — meant to keep it a set distance from the occupant no matter how the seat was adjusted — it has been a flop with buyers across all GM brands. The 2008 H2 locates the front seat retractors on the pillars, where people seem to prefer them, though the third-row seats' are still incorporated for ease of seat folding and removal. Among the notable interior features are a selection of new stereos — including a standard Bose system with XM Satellite Radio and optional surround sound — a new backseat DVD video option and OnStar. Remote start is also new, so you can warm up or cool down the H2 — and guzzle gas — without even leaving your home. The standard V-8 engine has grown to 6.2 liters, and its output has jumped from 325 to 393 horsepower. The torque rating is 415 pounds-feet, up from 365.
Lower gas mileage would be no surprise, but Hummer says engine efficiency and a new six-speed automatic in place of the long-standing four-speed result in improved mileage despite the performance increase. (Being a Class 3 truck, the H2 is not required to carry an EPA fuel economy rating, but the improvement is estimated to be 10 percent above the current model's numbers, which are around 11 to 12 mpg.) The upgraded drivetrain increases the H2's towing capacity from 6,500 to 8,000 pounds. Along with the additional gears comes a sequential-shifting control on the gear selector and a wider overall range of gear ratios, resulting in a lower crawl ratio for off-roading. The truck's capabilities are the same: It can still climb a 60 percent grade, traverse a 40 percent side slope and ford water up to 24 inches. The ground clearance is 9.9 inches, but the H2 can climb steps or boulders 16 inches high. The four-wheel-drive system is mostly unchanged, employing permanent 4WD with locking center and rear differentials.
