The numbers Hummers posts about those angles are rather screwy, let me share with you what I've found:
The incline angle of 60% does not refer to the maximum angle the H2 can climb, it refers instead to the angle at which the H2 can continously climb, with a FULL load, without overheating. Yep...go figure! It's true. It's a maximum continous-load figure.
I've posted a pic of myself taking the H2 well over 100% grade...on a loose-dirt hill no less! The H2 is capable of well over 60% grade. Frankly, just about any vehicle in 4Lo can climb a very steep hill...it all comes down to traction. At some point the steepness is so great that even 4 rubbery tires on ashphalt would slip. Giben an offroad incline...our 4x4 system will take us higher then just about anything else.
As for side-slope, that number is screwy too. Suffice it to say that H2 may be a bit taller then the Foreskinrunner, but our additional width will serve to take us a few degress further...maybe even more then a few degrees.
Our steep approach/departure angle also allows us to come to very steep inclines and go right up them...something their elongated tails won't allow them to do.
No matter what you tell them, they'll see things to their better. Make sure to thank them for investing in American products too! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
