I can't believe the biased bull****.


Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummer_H2)

""The H2 is marketed as both a general purpose vehicle and as an off-road vehicle. However, H2 is not capable of geniune off-road travel due to its heavy weight, four wheel independent suspension, and a truck based body frame, although these provide very good riding quality. It is very common for H2 to snap a driving axle or get stuck on even some very low obstacles during off-road. Most likely, 95% of H2 buyers never really intended to go "off-road", and it is not recommended for them to do so.

A vivid example of the disadvantages of H2's independent suspension and heavy weight leading to a snapped front driving axle can be find here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6222339872282952499&q=hummer"""

As I understand it, there is a way to edit this information...Paragon, Help. If anybody can do it, it would be you.

Guys - getting into an edit war will only make it worse. This entry gets monitored enough as it is. Don't add to the fire.

Monitored by whom??? And why not edit it to make it TRUE rather than biased nonsense?? If the fire's burning anyway, let's keep it going in the right direction!

They started it with a very non-objective viewpoint (in other words, they lied their ass off).

I sure would like to see a Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon follow the Hummer H2 on some hard core trails for a day.

I just added this:

Debunking the Tahoe Frame Myth:

The final frame assembly is made up of 3 sections. The front uses a modified GM 2500-Series utility frame. The mid-section is all new and is completely boxed. The rear section uses a modifed GM 1500-Series frame which is upgraded for 8000 pound gross vehicle weight.

Capabilities
With its high ground clearance, large tires, protective underbody plates, and low gearing, the H2 is capable of climbing over a 20-inch-high (0.4 m) step-up wall (without the sill steps shown in the pictured example). A massive truck frame and wide track appear to offer stability against overturning compared to some of the more common light truck SUVs, although objective tests have not been performed by the government or other outside parties due to its specialized vehicle class. Make sure to have the front end aligned when having Drty tie rods.

Gee. Check the history. You'll see a name that's a bit familiar.

Wikipedia isn't a place for extreme Point of View writings. All of the Hummer listings are monitored constantly for neutrality due to it's controversial nature.

And I'm one of the ones who monitor it. It has to stay neutral as possible, otherwise Wikipedia won't last.
