Hummer H2 = no offroading ability

[Jumpem]

There's a grocery chain up here in NY called Wegmans. Anyway, Mrs' Wegman just bought an H2 to drive to the local ski slopes in the winter. Her 911 just doesn't fare that well in the winter.

Sure the H1 and H2 aren't as good at rock crawling than the jeeps. But can a jeep carry 6 men in full battle gear, with a .50 calibre gun mounted on the roof, and withstand the shock of a landmine blowing up directly underneath it?

different strokes for different folks.

First the Hummer H2 is 1/2 the price of the original hummer.. and hence why I would assume the lack of off road capablity and other stuff... you can still get the original hummer.. but for 100K..

The military HMMWVs are great and all, but this isn't really a fair comparison at all. The H2s are a far cry from the HMMWVs. The ability to mount an MG on the roof and the ability to survive a landmine have nothing at all to do with it's off-road abilities. Put some armor on a jeep and it could do the exact same thing. (minus carrying 6)

Pretty pictures

IFS gives better onroad capability than a solid axle ( smoothness of the drive )
While a solid axle is stronger, has more clearance, and is easier to modify and repair than a solid axle.

To put it simply, if you are going to get serious about 4 wheeling, you will get a solid axle. If you want to play in the sand or mud sometime before you die, get an IFS. My solid axle Dodge will be there to pull your ass out

Ummm... the H2 is not made to mount a 50. It wont withstand a land mine. Virtually all the military-level utility has been taken out of it to cut the price. The h2 is the soccermom hummer. It is not in the same class as a H1.

"Phil and I just had another kid, so of course we needed a bigger SUV. Being a mom is hard with soccer, football and lacrosse practice, so we bought the new Miabatsu Monstrosity. It's so big; we lost little Joey in the back and couldn't find him for an hour. When I'm rushing to the mall or talking on my cell phone, I know me and my family are safe. The new Miabatsu Monstrosity has 4-wheel drive and in amphibious mode it can cross rivers. So far I've only hit a few puddles, but it's good to know it's there. With the time I save taking shortcuts through the strip mall parking lot I can focus on the important things like gazing longingly at the pool boy or buying more exercise equipment off the TV. So what if it gets 3 miles to the gallon, I'm a mom, not a conservationist. The new Miabatsu Monstrosity, mine is bigger!"

"I'm a marketing manager who lives in the suburbs and commutes to work on the highway. I live alone so of course a needed a vehicle that seats 12 and is equipped to drive across arctic tundra. It just makes me feel better. The new Miabatsu Monstrosity, mine is bigger!"

H2 != military grade Hummers. The H2 is a joke compared to a real "Hummer"
