Traded my H2 in the other day.
Kind of a bittersweet event.
I really liked driving the truck but it was the biggest POS that I have ever owned quality wise.
The 4wd system was great! It was like a tractor. Just put it in gear and it would out pull a John Deere.
After the government motors thing and the bath I took on it's value, I will never own another GM product.
5 years old and still under the (extended) warranty. Couldn't let it sit for more than 5 days without the battery going dead.
I thought it would be the perfect vehicle for Mexico until we ended up spending our vacations driving back up to Houston to get the thing serviced or worked on all the time.
Had to replace the shocks and steering stabilizer at 10K miles because every time I hit a bump in the steering would start oscillating. Can you say dangerous?
Had 20k miles on it.
RIP Hummer.

Sorry about your reliability experience but we've had 3 H2's and all three were the most reliable vehicles we've owned. Okay, maybe my Accord was absolutely trouble free but co,pared to our BMW's, Benz, and especially the Landrover these H2's are extremely reliable. Our current H2 is a 2004 with 70K miles and I've had it for 5 years.

BTW - The reason I've owned a total of 3 H2's and 1 H3 is every time I get rid of one the wife and kids miss it so much I have to get another one. After losing my shorts on the frost three i decided to keep this one till one of us dies.

Sorry to hear about your troubles and your loss...
...but it would be nice if you post back once in a while on this thread to let us know how the Raptor works out for you.

Will do. Already planning some mods for when I get home. I have the winch and cradle from the H2 that I am going to install. Also, complete the installation of the VeliciRaptor kit and re-tune.
After that? Who knows?

I dont understand why they didnt offer the raptor this year with the 3.5L twin turbo motor ("eco boost") offered in the rest of the 150 Line. Anyone who has driven the truck LOVES that motor...nothing against the big block though -).

I like the truck but really need a SUV type vehicle. One with big tires and a great 4wd system stock. Luxury and ruggedness is what I need, and unfortunately that doesnt exist in any vehicle now.

Its out of my price range but a sportchasis P4XL will proboly be in my driveway at some point, although this is too big to fit in the enclosed trailer behind my motorhome....The H2 JUST BARELY FITS!!! Perfect!

Cant win...the H2 left a big void in the marketplace that has yet to be filled!

Check out the Hennessey website. They will build you one to order.

I would bet that some of that technology will trickle down to the 5.0 and the 6.2 at some time down the road. Imagine a truck with a 6.2, twin turbo motor. That would be a killer beast.
