I admit that I was impressed. But I'd still rather spend $28k on a Rubicon than $53 on an H2. The Rubicon has dual lockers, a crawl ratio of 66.4:1 an approach angle of 45.1°a breakover angle of 25.8° and departure angle of 34.4° to the H2's single locker, 33.12:1 crawl ratio approach angle of 40.8° breakover angle of 25.8° and departure angle of 39.6°. For $25k more, you get a better departure angle.

First off, a rubicon will cost more than 28 new. An h2 will be closer to 57-58K. You dont need a better crawl ratio when you have the torque of the 6.0L. The traction control system puts the break on a spinning wheel and sends the toruqe to the axle with traction (90% of the time as good as a locker in front).

With 4 200lb people in a jeep rubicon, you have already exceeded the GVWR rating. Weak in my opinion. Much less can it tow more than a set of training wheels.

Both have their intended buyer, both are excellent off road vehicles:

HUMMER:
is much more comfortable and well equipped for road trips, sex on the fly, intimidating other drivers, burning more fuel, pissing off environmentalists, towing/hauling stuff, breaking tie rods, impressing kids, taking clients/women out in, etc.

JEEP is better for:
parking, fukking up you back when you hit a pothole, having tire size envy, gas mileage, spending a$$ loads on modifying it to fit 37" tires, having sh!tty vaccum operated lockers, knowing your interior sucks, anything I'm missing??
