I had the priviledge of touring the H2 plant in Mishawaka in 2006. In those days if you were an H2 owner they really gave you the royal treatment. One of the engineers emphasized the wide stance and how heavy items were placed as low as possible in the frame, but not as to hinder ground clearance. They even took pains to mount the engine and transmission 2 inches lower than originally planned for a lower center of gravity. AM General did extensive testing to make sure the H2 was stable and the ultimate offroad vehicle according to my tour guide. It was a great tour I will never forget and showed me how much engineering went into the H2.
