Thinking of purchasing a Hummer H3

Quote from: AZsixIt's kind of funny but I think I can count on one hand the times that I have seen any type of Hummer pulling any kind of trailer.

I agree.  When we're traveling, it's rare to see a Hummer that is even DIRTY, not to mention towing anything.

As already pointed out, the H3 is built using parts from other vehicles, and many of those other vehicles are much better suited as a daily driver / weekend warrior combo.

I think Hummers look cool, but I would never buy one.  That's just me though. :D

Of all the Hummers, the only one that (in my opinion) is worth while is the king of them all, the original H1. This is the cousin of the military's HUMVEE, and it is quite capable, although it's overall width would actually be a detriment when off roading in the woods. Departure/approach angles, ground clearence, etc. are all geared towards use off road.

One would be better off (money wise and capability wise) with the Tahoe instead of the H2, or the Trail Blazer instead of the H3.

The H3's gas mileage and engine specs:

Performance:
 
Base Number of Cylinders - 5
Base Engine Size - 3.5 liters
Base Engine Type - Inline 5
Horsepower - 220 hp
Torque - 225 ft-lbs
 
 
Fuel Data:
EPA Mileage Estimates - 20 Highway, 16 City  

That is much better mileage than my Sport Trac, and about the same as I got with a Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4.

Little late but...as the owner of an H3 I nor my wife have any complaints.

It pulls our 10.6 Jayco anywhere we ask it. Gas milage is better than the Durango with a hemi that I traded in. It fits in the garage just fine, and when the weather turns bad here in Indiana, it has yet to let us down.

I do not work for GM, nor do I have anything against any other vehicle out there on the road.

I married my wife because I loved her, I bought the truck because I liked it.

Nuff said.
