If ya want a hummer then dish out the bucks... dont shoot for 50 grand for a mock up that can get passed offroad by a Volvo. |
1 - I don't like the "wannabe" Hummers any more than you.
2 - I agree they are designed more with appearance in mind than actual performance, as evidenced by their hardly "off-road-minimalistic" interiors.
That being said, both the H2 and H3 do just fine off road. Great tires, great ground clearance, full underbody protection (skid plates, reinforcers, etc) and excellent approach and departure angles make for a very survivable vehicle. They are a bit clumsy though, and surprisingly not as nimble as an H1, despite being significantly smaller.
I however would buy a Tahoe or Suburban Z71 over an H2 or H3 if I had any offroad intentions and the need for that kind of vehicle.
