Yes.
Why is it that when it comes to
off-roading......
Very rarely you hear veteran H2 wheelers downgrading to an H3 when they clearly can. If I thought the H3 was better off-road rig, trading the H2 would be instantaneous. This feeling is shared by most of the H2 community.
But you see more and more H3 wheelers who are upgrading to the H2. Why? I think any educated person knows that answer. The H2 is just better.
I've driven all 3 like a few here have.
H1 is hardcore but uncomfortable and not suited for family and realistic everyday life.
H2 covers the most broadest spectrum for uses and convenience without sacrificing it's Hummer off-road ability. There is no "Embarrassment" factor when I drive it like when I drive the H3(I'm being honest. Don't wig out.) The first (AND LAST) time I drove the H3 as a courtesy car 90% of the comments were of the, "Hey! A poor man's Hummer! What happened? Did you lose your job Dennis?" An extreme reverse with the H1. People automatically thought I was going to be a prick when clearly I'm a very likable guy.
H3 is a successful attempt at building an economy car that looks similar to the H2 but geared to drive Hummer sales by reaching a larger class of people. Unlike the H1 and H2 though, it does not have a unique identity since it clearly looks like a tiny version of the H2. And unlike the H2 which retained key H1 dna, the H3 is a pure GM vehicle with just the Hummer decal. It wheels great. But not even close to the H2. For a reason.
