Hummer H2: Gas Mileage, Upgrades, Accessories And Hummer H2 Limos

By:

Published: November 30, 2006

The Hummer H2 is the first of two Hummers to be inspired by the looks and capabilities of the military's HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) and the popularity of the Hummer H1, the civilian production line model of the military version. Manufactured by General Motors, the H2 is available in two trim packages, the H2 SUV and H2 SUT. The Hummer H2 is the big brother of the H3, the smallest of the Hummer line of SUVs and SUTs.

Lacking the commanding, authentic looks of the HMMWV and the H1, the Hummer H2 has a different platform than its big brothers, trading some of its trademark capabilities for the same truck platform as its domesticated competition, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. The H2 still has semi-amphibious attributes, as well as excellent handling when it comes to overcoming steep grades, either ascending or descending, as well as powerful towing capabilities. Another characteristic it shares with its H1 and H3 kin is terribly low gas mileage and absurdly high emissions.

The Hummer H2 still possesses many of the physical characteristics of AMG's original HMMWV including iconic features like Hummer's wide stance and orthogonal shape as well as its large body.

Much like the H1, the H2 is popular with its drivers because it’s easy to modify and customize. Upgrades and accessories are in abundance when it comes to giving a Hummer H2 a unique appeal. Modders and customizers can make improvements to nearly every facet of the Hummer H2. Popular modifications like chopping and stretching H2's for limo service is common. Beyond accenting the Hummer H2 with chrome rims, grills, bumpers and window tint, some take it even further.

Individual owners can also take advantage of a multitude of shops that specialize in customization.  Shops frequently design and fabricate bodywork and apply custom paints. Performance enhancements such as special sports editions, superchargers, improvements to handling and breaking, as well as better exhaust are also options. Shops can also fit a wide array of custom wheels and rims, in addition to lowering and lifting the suspension of the H2.

Other customizations including upgraded interiors such as better quality leather or burlwood finishes are also popular with H2 owners. The H2 also provides for innovative improvements to the car stereo including multimedia centers, digital stereo systems and digital connectivity for internet and video game systems.

With the price of buying and owning a Hummer H2, especially with a customized H2, the best investment an H2 owner can make is in a high-end personal security and vehicle tracking system.
