Should you own a Hummer if you don't go offroad?
 

What benefit is there to having a Hummer if you do not go offroading or over rugged terrain?

so i can run your Hummer hater ass right the fuck over!

BEETCH.

Could be good as a moving billboard. They do attract alot of attention.

But only for urban/ suburban driving or commuting? NO, THANKS!

really just cargo space ... passenger space ... if your not going off road then throw a nice pair of rims on it and drop it an inch or 2 ... nice ride ...not worth the money in my opinion but nice ... i would get a Denali before the h2

I'm not a Hummer hater, but they just don't make sense for driving on the highway or in any urban area.

Uh... maybe because the owner likes Hummers?

Why would you tell someone what they can or can't buy? That makes no sense.

"No BMW for you! You aren't cool enough!"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Have you ever driven one? They are complete luxury as far as I'm concerned. Regardless if you go off road or not, they're nice to drive. :2 cents:

Personally, I'm 6'7" and can't fit well into smaller cars. I also tow, but I didn't want to get a Tahoe or Suburban.

I tow a 38ft boat weekly, I am 6'6" although I dont drive a hummer, but an F350 Dually that gets 10 mpg :1orglaugh

ya i drove one right over his Hummer hating ass!

BEEEEEETCH.

none.....
send it to me.....I'll make good use if it! :winkwink:

Hummer doesn't carry a status symbol anywhere near Mercedes or any other luxury company (luxury to americans atleast). Why not get a G class if you want something kind of big but flashy?

The F350 is a sweet towing rig.

Nothing I have driven compares, 12.5k on the bumper or 17k on the fifth wheel, and my boat is a fucking hogggggggggg. I wouldn't own anything less now. :)

Hummers say bad ass or "active". Luxury cars say nice job, cares about image, etc.

Hmm...how wide is that 38' boat?

It's illegal :winkwink: just dont tell anyone

H1 Hummer says badass, H2 says I couldn't afford an H1 or I really dont need to be driving this.

In fact, I'd say H2 says cares more about image than a BMW or MB

That is one massive boat.

I don't think there's any car hated as much as the H2. I don't get it. I like them.

H2, is a joke. I would be embarrased to take that offroad.

I had an H1, took it off road a few times.

So I assume using your logic, one could say the same about Japanese luxury car owners? I guess you couldn't afford a German car, eh?

It's becaue they aren't neccessary. Their niche is way larger than it should be.

I have nothing against the vehicle itself, but I don't think people should drive it in suburban areas. There is not one good arguement you can make to jusify driving it in suburban areas.

It gets bad MPG, it's expensive, other cars that have it's cargo space are way cheaper.

Hummer started off as an all terrain vehicle. It wasn't meant for driving the kids around. Van's and SUV's were made for that.

How Much are Hummers in the US ?

Don't forget the Baby Hummer - H3

Nah, your crossing brand barriers. I'm talking about models.

One can argue that the top of the line RL is nicer than a simiar MB or BMW. One can't argue that the TL is more luxurious than the RL.

They aren't necessary? Neither are $200 designer jeans. So what.

The only "good" argument needed is: people want them!

You work hard. You make the money. You buy products you WANT.

Are $150k cars necessary? No. So why do people buy them? Because they want them.

By the way, low end BMW's and Mercedes suck. Only wankers that can't afford the high end models buy them in hopes of looking "cool".

i'd never buy one. i have a hard enough time driving the boyfriends truck lol

Just say NO to big rims.

Everyone online likes to dog hummers but in real life they all want rides.. Go figure.. I bought my h2 for the lux and space.. The h2 is both bigger inside and nicer than the h1.. So unless you work on a farm or are just into offroading ginormous trails forget the h1. I love my h2. I dont offroad it at all. Plus it pisses off the tree huggers and thats fun.

This was mine 1 week after i got it. I have no new pics dont know why:

I guess my problem with them is that you can by more luxurious cars for less money that are better made, more efficient, and will do exacly the same thing you will do in your Hummer.

People are paying for something that they won't use to it's full potential. Why not get a Luxury SUV? Not like you need the towing power of the H2 or it's offroading abilities if you just drive to work and pick your kids up from school.

How much of that space do you use ?

I have the same one (2005).

I use it all.. Honestly if they come out with a longer version I'd buy it.

that is the only reason I would get a hummer

but for now, i am happy with my 50mpg little baby

Thats a 2004 in the pic, theres differences.

I deliver shit all the time to my local customers and the H2 is so much cooler than a cargo van. :2 cents:

Sorry, you are mistaken, I bought it in November of 2004, it's definitely a 2005. It has the upgraded black interior, which wasn't even an option in 2004.

And thats exactly what I don't have a problem with. If you need something it offers, thats fine.

My problem is with the people who buy it for the sake of owning a Hummer. You gotta agree that tons of Hummer owners buy them to look cool, not because they need a Hummer.

I have no problem with people who use/buy lavish thing as long as they make good use of them.

Ok maybe just as far as I know there should be lights on the bumper corners and the tire rack is missing too among other things.

I don't know about any lights on the bumper corners. I don't think the lux model comes with a tire rack, perhaps it's an option. My spare is in the back next to the 3rd row seat of course.

Lol... An H2 offroad?

You're joking, right?

I wouldnt take a 60k+ vehicle off road to destroy. thats what the old Toyota 4x4's are for

Heres the back of mine vs a 2004 I have this from another thread b4
Mine ('05 Lux) on left 2004 on right:

Interesting, maybe I haven't paid close attention, but I don't recall ever seeing that light arrangement on a H2 before. Your bumper looks different also, but that may be due to the external tire rack option.

I'm going to assume your talking about the H2.

Listen, the H2 is not off-road capable. It sits on a Tahoe chassis for Christ's sake. Sure you 'll be able to drive down a gravel road in the back woods of South Carolina. Other than that your asking for trouble. You will never ever see an off-road enthusiast who runs trails with an H2. I have seen a couple Hummers running trails though it's few and far between. Hummers can go off-roading and are certainly built for it. Though you will rarely see one on the trails as their base price is 130,000.

So.. The point is, no one should own an H2 even if they do off-road. If your going to go off roading there is only one vehicle. JEEP.

I take mine offroading, over logs and through small rivers. Its scratched up quite a bit, especially underneath with all the big rocks that I've kicked up under it. Skid plates protect the important parts though, I'm not really concerned.

Ya the H2 sucks and Jeeps rule. :1orglaugh
VID..It's 6 minutes long watch at your own risk.

Basically status !
