Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

That's awesome!! I've never seen sand/dirt like that before.

It doesn't surprise me that it went through it so well with as deep of mud that my H3 has made it through.

Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

Well an H3 got stuck in a demonstration at the launch of the South African models a few months ago!

Nitpicks aside, the guy seemed to think it's a good 4x4.

I would not call it stuck, as he was able to put in reverse and try again. At least he was correct about the big chrome wheels and lopro tires, at least around here that is the fad!

Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

i love seeing the H3 do the things that Jeep people say that Hummers can't do. it always pisses me off when people that have never taken Hummers off road talk trash about them being nothing more than tarted up Tahoes. idiots!!

Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

For some reason I could never get interested in the H1 or H2 but a diesel H3 has me interested. Damned if I know why though . Maybe because it could be a good alternative to the Toyota Prado? Looking forward to driving one - if they ever get to NZ.

Yeah that irritates me too. But, have you seen the movie Cars? At the end during the credits they have a H1 that doesn't want to get dirty. I found it hallarious.

Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

Another reason I'd love an H3 Adventure leveled with 35"s and undercarriage protection.

Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

Simply Amazing!!! That's probably the deepest sand I've ever seen an off-roading vehicle drive through and the H3 handled it like a piece of cake. I'm telling you, Hummer is the ultimate off-roading vehicle. The Hummer H3 and especially the H3 Alpha are my favorite Hummer on the market. Hopefully sometime in the future I'm going to buy one.

Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

I love the H3, I just always wished it had more power. Now the 5.3 should be sufficient.

Re: Hummer tries to get the H3 stuck!

Wish it had gotten the 4.8 instead of the 5.3 so there could be a manual option.
