HOW LOW CAN YOU GO???????
I got a H3 with the adventure package. I was just wondering with all the rain we've been having here in the Northeast. How much deep water can this beast drive through??? Are the doors water tight??.
thanks in advance all my H3 brothers and sisters

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO???????
I forget what the height is, but even that sounds underrated compared to what i saw in at a dealership. One of the dealers was showing me pictures helping pull out vehicles in the flood of New Orleans and it was more than half way up and never had a problem. Also, the car he was pulling was floating and the hummer stayed down

24' is what is stated in advertising, and in the manual. I've seen them go thru deeper water. Just remember to keep a wake in front of you, and do not stop.
You can't drive down a river, but you can cross a decent sized creek.
My doors have not leaked YET.

Not too much of a wake -- waves in 24 inches of water can make it 30inch of water...not good for the H3...

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO???????
Watch out for the rear diff vent. It is tucked up in the rear. Don't stop! I think that by moving, you keep an air pocket up there. This is no H1 with the vented drivetrain.
