What a bunch of jealous, uninformed idiots. The H3 is about the same price as a Ford Explorer and less money than a Toyota Land Cruiser. You can pick up a 2 year old HUMMER H3 for a great price and have a totally capable, out of the box 4x4 that won't beat you to death on the road like an old Bronco! There's a place at the table for all 4x4's not just the old beaters.

obviously the driver and spotter are excellent. If the car is stock that's pretty good.

Hummers actually are Jeeps. No not the trademarked name Jeep. back in the military days of the 1940's Jeeps were any vehicle that was great off road. They were made by 3 companies. Ford/Marmon Herrington, Bantam, and Willys.

Thanks Daryl and all the Hummer team.

I really enjoy it when I go hiking or biking in the back-country to see FUCKING tire marks all over virgin presitne land. Maybe in the future you could park one of those american made piecesOshit in my living room so I can look at it 24/7.

@RealJeep Yes, well you'll find that a lot of people who call themselves "Car Enthusiasts" don't know the actual meaning of the title. They think it means that they like this and that. When it really is, you respect every vehicle in the aspect of what it was, what it is, and how it has changed. No matter what it is. For example, i love Gallardo's and Metro's both completely different. But i love the performance and complexity of Lamborghini and the Simplicity of the Metro.

I just bought a beautiful 2008 H3, black leather, all that good shit, its not the top notch one, but still has plenty of power and drives very good, very smooth. 46000 miles, I got it at the dealership for $19,990. For all these people who say "Hummers are only for rich kids and wanna-be's", go fuck yourself. I got it less than what the jeep dealership wanted for a jeep wrangler, I don't know how well it goes off-road, but I know for a fact its smoother on the highway. Better looking too

An H3 used isn't 50K. You can get a 2 year old H3 with 20,000 for about 25k. The 2 that you would want is the Adventure or Luxury with Adventure option. The H3 has a top notch traction control system that works very well. However, for extreme situations, the adventure package has lockers with one button on the dash. The adventure package also comes stock with 33" tires, and can take 35" tires without modification. All other H3's come with 31".

[TucksAndSkis]
