Thinking of buying an H2, opinions needed!

[robd1]

Hi guys, I?m new to the forum and seeking advice and/or any comments to help me make the decision to buy a H2 SUT or not. In the last 3 years, I?ve been very happy with both of my vehicle purchases but here I am thinking about trading again so I guess I?m still not satisfied. I?m tired of taking a financial beating every time I trade out of a vehicle so I want something that I will hopefully be happy with for years to come.

A few years ago I bought an Infinti G35 coupe which I loved. It was a blast to drive but it turned out not so practical for me since I need a truck bed occasionally. Forsaking my lust for sports cars, I traded it for a loaded ?05 Ford F150 Lariat extended cab. It has less than 4k miles on it now and I have no complaints about it. I actually love the truck, yet for some reason, I am thinking about a Hummer now.

I know I will take another huge beating for trading out of my truck so soon and I need to end the madness. If there are any H2 owners out there that can encourage/discourage my decision, any input is appreciated.

Rob

two weeks ago i traded in an 04 fully loaded avalanche for an 06 H2 LUX and have to admit the H2 is a much nicer truck than the avalanche. I had an 03 and 04 avalanche. Like the ad says "like nothing else"

Why do you want an H2?

All I can add is that I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago. It was a hard decission. But I too wanted a car that I could rely on standing up to a beating for years to come. I decided to go for it and can say I am completely satisfied. I have owned several jeeps: 2 cherokees, a wagoneer, and a liberty, as well as a bmw. The hummer is definately the best car I have ever owned. It drives almost as nice as the bmw did. I guess you could say it is the truck style bmw. I am so happy I bought the car and look forward to having it for many years. Good luck with your shopping

Depends on how large A "truck bed" you require occasionaly, the SUT bed is rather small, i.ve seen bigger beer coolers, but it does have A midgate to open up the back seat area to increase the size. Fuel mileage can be an issue, but the way I see it if you love what you drive who cares about spending A few extra dollars on fuel. The best part is your ready to go enjoy trail rides and the backcountry right out of the box with no modifications and still drive it to work monday morning. The most important part no Blue Oval on the grille. I'm not an owner but I work on Hummers on A daily basis and I would say 95% or better of the owners I talk to love their truck. I can recommend an H-2 to anyone and still sleep at night.

Hey Rob,

Have you taken an H2 for a test drive yet? That's probably all you need in order to decide.

Two weeks ago my wife and I took a 2006 H2 LUX for a test drive and we couldn't resist coming home with it. Best snap decision I ever made. My wife likes it every bit as much as I do. She initially thought that she'd prefer a new Escalade, but that thought quickly evaporated after the H2 test drive.

New vehicles are always cool no matter what you get, but none that I've ever had have impressed me as much as our new H2.

Good luck with your decision!
