I have an opportunity to buy an H2...
Think I might take it!
![]() Friend just picked up a '14 King Ranch to replace his '04 H2. Said he will sell it to me for what the dealer offered on trade - $12k. It's been very well maintained, and is black over grey... ![]() What do you guys think? I'll get some pictures of it either tonight or tomorrow.

Too deliberately ugly, not enough real capability.

Wow, that sounds like a lifted Duramax. Hey, wait a second...

Icky.
I'm not anti-SUV either. I'd rather have a Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL/Escalade rather than the gussied up (or is it down?) H2. The only Hummer I'd be caught driving would be an H1. Go real or go home. ![]() They just look like they're trying too hard. The short overhangs make them marginally more off-roadable than a Tahoe/Yukon. Save up for a little while and go for the G with a lift kit instead!

The H2 on the other hand... That's a freggin couch on wheels! ![]() FWIW - I would pick up a G in a heartbeat and lift it! With that said, I do have tons of experience with them, and they are a POS, in the same way the H2 is a POS... Lot's of little issues. None that really impact the drive-ability, but issues that are annoying.

Get ready for a lot of middle fingers to be flashed your way....
![]() Friend of mine bought one a few years ago and that "road message" was a big surprise to him ! May I suggest a Harley, where most other HD riders will wave at you.

Well put, pretty much sums up my feelings.
That said, I would much prefer the H3 if I had to choose.

Why would you want to replace a good truck with a bad one?
3/4 ton diesel to 1/2 ton SUV? Not to mention its the worst SUV the General has made in a long time.

I rode in an H2 once, it was like riding in a Suburban with more elbow room.
If you do get it just promise you will de-badge (or possibly re-badge to tahoe? Cause some double takes) And of course, get rid of those terrible stock wheels for something less fancy.
