Ummm no offense, but maybe you need to look at the engine specs. The H2 _V8_ produces 325 HP for the 05 model yr. That is not a small amount and is not weak. The H1 is a deisel engine and operates differently. HP is not comparable. A semi truck that has 310 HP is not weak and is usually a v6 and is deisel, yet can pull 40,000+ pounds in a trailer. The H1 has 205 HP on a deisel engine. The H1 is not built for drag racing, but for pulling and/or climbing.
I never said anything about HIGH output motors now did I? No! You mistake new person to forums for someone with little to no knowledge? What I said was something better then the Colorado pickup. There are plenty of v6 motors making well more then the 250HP I suggested. There are far more v8 motors that produce well over 280HP as I had suggested. Why is that hard to reason? The Hummer is supposed to be about toughness, name recognition, etc. yet it has an I-5 engine? The two don't match. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>No offense taken but I make no mistake in reference to your posts. So one HP rating is not comparable to another HP rating? I'll leave that alone because it is stupid enough as it is. HP is not the rating most off-roaders or "semi" owners are as concerned with. It's torque. And, please, at least do some research before you spout ignorance. A "semi truck" does not usually have a V6.

I am not opining on the H3's engine one way or the other. I am simply pointing out that the Hummer line is not one known for "power" and has a very low power-to-weight ratio. It's not that hard of a concept to understand.
