Re: Help plz
The H2 is bigger, inside and out. It has better off roading dimensions (at a glance), however, the RRS fords 7inches deeper in water. All in all the two are very comparible.

I dunno, I hate to say it, but I like the RRS.
But yeah, go test out the H2, it will be something you are more used to.

Re: Help plz
Personally....I feel the Rover is more of an urban looking SUV where as the Hummer has a more rugged and tough look. Thats just an opinion of mine and also my wifes.
We checked out the rovers at the car show this year and ended up buying another H2 since we like them so much.
I agree...a hummer gets more looks than most other vehicles on the road....mine gets looks from kids to the elderly and all ages in between. As the hummer slogan says...."Like Nothing Else"

Re: Help plz
Different strokes for different folks. I guess with an H2 you either love it or you hate it. Take one for a drive and you should know the answer.

My Dad busted my stones for getting my first H2....then he took it for a ride and in about a month he bought his 06 SUT. He said its by far the nicest vehicle he's owned.
Like you said...you either like'em or you don't. There is no in between.

Re: Help plz
My old man was the same way. He expected them to be rough riding etc. After the first time he road in it, he changed his mind dramatically. You do have an advantage. You know the range rover inside and out. So you can easily compare it to the H2 with a test drive.

I totally agree. I drove a Range Rover about 7 years ago. Liked it alot, but the hummer is way better. It's a UNIQUE ride.

Re: Help plz
Had a range and mine did have some issues with the drivetrain, but that was an 01 model, I am in no way bashing the range, they do make a nice truck. I think that the 2 are totally different. Just buy both, drive the range to work and use the h2 on the weekends.

Re: Help plz
personally, after seeing them up close in the auto show, i will agree say that the H2, IMO, is better suited for me.
The interior is more refined in the RR, that is for sure, however, your a potentially purchasing a vehicle for its off-road prowness and fun factor... you will not get that for that RR. It has features that sell the idea of fun off-road, but i just cannot see one of the newer RR keeping up with a stock h2. I agree its more of a grocery getter and to keep the wife happy with the comfort.
But, again, imo, if you are looking for fun, and a surprisingly comfortable, confident ride, get the H2. The h3, with all due respect, doesn't compare.

Re: Help plz
Buy the H2 and tell your wife to go buy something that she wants. Thus, you will both be satisfied.

Oh it compares, and beats the H2 in many regards. Of course, it doesn't compare in the ego boost some of you get being 3 inches wider on each side...  I understand, some of you need that...
Better water fording, better turning radius, and with 35's, equal or better approach, departure, and breakover angles, and you're not carrying all that useless fat around.

I've had both... The H3 is for, no offense intended, shorter smaller framed people. Off road, I actually think the H3 is at least as good (once you lose the Mall Terrain Tires). 3 tons+ (H2) seems to have it's downside at times. On the pavement, there's no comparison - The H2 is the way to go.
I think they are both worthy of being called Hummers!

I think this fording was just a bit over the advertised fording numbers for either the H2 or H3 probably around 35 inches. the only h3 that attempted it didnt make it down into the deep part before getting hung on his belly (the ruts were made by h1's on 37's. I did have the 37's on....

I then had to recover another H2 with 37" toyo MT's but I probably rutted it out pretty good.

Please nobody say anything negative about the H3. This f**king turd may have a fat a$$ induced embolism. I'm telling you, he's ready to pop! He can't take the pressure of another argument.

That's RazM for you. He'll never accept the H3 to be anything less than #1. If he can't convince you, he'll start throwing out the classy insults and start crying like a virgin that fell on a crayon and busted her hymen.
And if you get him angry enough, he'll send me an e-mail complaining how people should shut up with their opinions and listen to his. And whine about how the Canadian dollar is killing jobs and creating mass lay offs in his province and he might not be able to afford the lease on his H3 car because of it.
What he doesn't get is if the H3 was all he claims it is, us being smarter than him, wouldn't have any difficulty downgrading to the H3. But since that is not the case, (But don't tell him that!) most H2 owners won't be.
So do we have things straightened out now? It's OK to insult the H2. It is not OK to say the H2 is better than the H3 (Even though this is an obvious truth.) or I'll be getting more e-mail stating how polite he is to everyone and all he gets in return is rudness from the H2 crowd.

If you prefer a more "refined" vehicle then perhaps the RRS is a better choice. However i think you will find the ride and drive of the H2 to be quite pleasant.

Re: Help plz
I have owned many vehicles in my life to include a Lexus470. I have also test driven a RRS and have driven the H1 MANY times when I was a military man. Both the Lexus 470 and H1 were very capable off-road. I have not had a chance to take the RRS off-road (which I didnt think the dealership would like), but it just didn't give me the feeling that I was looking for! It's obviously a very nice vehicle that is a little more refined than my new 08' H2, but I prefer the more "testosterone" look/feel of the Hummer. That said, the RRS was a blast to drive.....but, again I felt that is was more of a grocery getter (which is ok for some people). And, doesn't the RR line of vehicles have a poor reliability rating? Anyway, I love my H2 and wouldnt trade it for the world!
