According to Car and Driver on line

"The H2 won't go everywhere an H1 — with its offset hubs and central tire-inflation system — can go, but ample ground clearance and steep approach and departure angles mean the H2 will certainly penetrate farther into the wild than could a Suburban. And most important, the H2 will get there for a lot less money and in greater comfort than the military-vehicle-based H1 can."

Land Rover will now have NO competition on the new market, thanks to the YUPPER, I mean Hummer H2.

THIS THING SUCKS ASS!

No, William I'm not a cop but, it would work very nicely along with my night vision goggles. Just some thing cool to play with.

The H2 is a Tahoe. Same drivetrain and frame.

Anybody know if it'll have a diff-lock or some variation thereof? Any other mods that'll help it off road?

If not, so it really has nothing to do with a hummer except for body styling ques?

What kind of dollars are they asking for this clown car?

By MA on Friday, September 28, 2001 - 10:58 am: Edit

It doesn't have a diff lock. I don't think it has TC either. I believe that the pricing will start at $47,000. They will continue to sell the H1 for ~$100000.

The H2 will have a rear locker and traction control, and maybe an optional front one. The info that I posted earlier was on the prototype from ~2 years ago. It will also feature a HD version of GM's 5-link live axle in the rear. The front suspension is a modified version of Chevy's 2500HD pick-up. The tranny is a full-time 4wd Borg Warner unit. The thing ways almost 6400lbs and has a 6.0L V8 producing 325hp.
