Tip for safety focused shoppers - Not only did the H3s get an engine upgrade in 07, the 08-10 have front AND rear side curtain airbags STANDARD. That was VERY important to me as a parent, so I only looked at 08-10s to be sure that feature was there. They also have an additional stability control standard in 08-10, above and beyond what they already had in 06 & 07. Just a tip in case those safety features are important to you.

I am on my 2nd H3, I had a 06 and when GM cut the Hummer I bought a 09 H3. I have absolutely no complaints about the H3, rides great, handles great, very quiet inside and very comfortable. As far as snow goes it can't be beat, period!!! Mine only has 85K on it and I will not get rid of it because there is nothing else on the road I am interested in. Besides I raise Wolves and it is the perfect vehicle to carry them with me!!! Love my Hummer H3!!!
@gary30464 жыл бұрын
Although a pretty good video, the H3 was NOT built on a modified Colorado chassis. That's a common misconception, but there is nothing that the 2 share other than the 5 cylinder engine. As for off road capabilities; one of the main design criteria when GM was developing the H3 was that it could conquer the Rubicon Trail in stock form. It was also designed to accept up to 35" tires with no modifications necessary.

I have a 2010, Right Hand Drive, 5.3 v8, assembled here in South Africa at the Port Elizabeth GM Plant. It is awesome off-road with the front and rear lockers as well as the 4:10 transfer case. This, apart from SFA articulation, puts it into Rubicon territory in terms of off-road performance. On road, it is smooth and direct in terms of handling, like a large saloon car, which inspires confidence. The vehicle in the test appears to have had the front raised, which can be done by adjusting the torsion bars, delivering an additional 2 inches. However, this is known to make the vehicle a little more skittish on-road and at speed. It can also place more strain on the front drive components like the CV joints. Very nice review.

I just wanna say - do not believe the city numbers. The mpg is way lower than that. Highway mpg under good conditions is 17 and you can get it to 18 if you don’t move your foot from the pedal, press brakes, use premium gas, etc. Tuning it will only improve mpg by 1 or 2, maybe 3 if all conditions are working out for you. If all you do is city driving, or your highways are crowded, the gas prices are really gonna get to you.

For anyone watching this to help decide whether to buy a h3 or not please read this comment. I daily drove a h3 for 3 years and I’m here to tell you DO NOT BUY ONE! The steering was loose, and I had endless problems with the motor (over heating, excessive vibration, etc). Replaced radiator, thermostat, water pump, fan clutch, motor mounts, steering components, sensors, etc. it was never ending to say the least. It was a rough and loud ride and difficult to see out windows. Seats were uncomfortable after driving for long periods of time and cramped inside. Had bad gas milage and no power. It comes stock with 4 speed transmission so driving above 70mph sucks. It was a 76mph vehicle all day long. I sold it with 220k miles and had never been happier. Now you may think I beat on it and didn’t maintain it, but I was always very thorough on maintenance. The one positive thing I will say is that my H3 would go anywhere and through anything. Very impressive off-road performance, but the wide wheel base made it impossible to keep the truck clean. Any mud puddle or dirt you drove through instantly was applied across the side of your vehicle.
