I realize some of you have "mall crawlers", and really don't take your H2's off-roading. I'm cool with that -- to each their own.

Is the H2 suitable for everyday use? I'd love to take it off-roading, have it haul my Jetskis, boats, kayaks, etc... but I'm worried about everyday use. People are telling me they're unsuitable for this task. I pretty much want to use it for, well... everything. Between going to the store, driving to school (for the next few years, this will be the most I do with it), off-roading, hauling, etc... is it honestly suitable? How many of you drive your hummers every day?

Furthermore, how reliable are they?

Thanks!

 

my wife and I each have an H2, that is all we drive!

 

What actually would be the difference between a Hummer H2 or a Yukon, Tahoe, Escalade. The Hummer is "based" off of a Tahoe platform, just as the H3 is Trailblazer. I just think of my H2 as a Tahoe on steroids. Of course, I wouldn't take a Tahoe where my Hummer goes. Our H2 was our daily driver til I got the Mustang. When the old Missouri weather gets crappy again, I'll be in the Hummer.

 

I drive mine everyday, to work and where ever else I have to go. I've almost had it for a year and a half, it's given me no problems, and I still love it. If you get snow, they are awesome in the winter too!

 

I appreciate the responses! I'm really leaning towards a Hummer. We'll see how this goes.

 

I would get it! They are great for everyday use. Fuel could be an issue. I have other vehicles and my H2 gets pampered! It sits alot but I drive it from time to time!

 

There is NO similarities between the Tahoe/H2 and the Canyon/H3. The only thing similar between the H3 and a Canyon is the same basic frame; but the H3 has a full ladder from with front/rear supports, whereas the canyon does NOT. Thats as far as similiarities go with the H3. I'm sure the H2 is similar.

 

The H2 frame actually share only similarities with a suburban 2500 frame in the rear with a front section from a 2500 hd pick up with its own unique centercection that is fully boxed, frame wise. Like 85-305 said. there is a reason that tahoes have 6 lug axles and the H2 has 8 lug. It bigger gvwr weight rating is a give away that they dont share the same frame.
