All H3s have plenty of ground clearance, as well as tight approach and departure angles for maximum rock-crawling capability.Įxtreme off-duty talent should have taught the cabin a lesson or two, but the tight, confining H3 feels less roomy than other mid-size trucks and SUVs. The H3 excels at off-roading, thanks to an electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system with off-road-tuned traction control, underbody shielding, an optional rear locking differential, and the buyer's choice of two tire packages, Goodyear 32-inch all-terrain tires or Bridgestone 33-inch off-road tires. On-road feel is vague and disconnected, and the big tires dull any sensations from the tires through corners, though it rides fairly softly and fairly well.
2010 HUMMER H3 FOR SALE DRIVER
If you're an average driver who will never set a tire on anything so dirty as dirt, this (or any) HUMMER is not for you. Fuel economy with either drivetrain is terrible, at 14/18 mpg for the five-cylinder and 13/16 mpg for V-8s, but the V-8 will tow 6,000 pounds. The manly option is the Alpha edition its 300-hp, 5.3-liter V-8 and four-speed automatic have more on-road authority. Worse, it's hooked to a four-speed automatic that feels outdated enough to consider the five-speed manual. The nearly 5,000-pound H3 struggles with a base 3.7-liter inline five-cylinder engine that has only 239 horsepower. HUMMER gives the H3 anemic performance in base versions. It doesn't scream "HUMMER" in any way except for the badges. The instrument panel styling is remarkably generic, with rounded edges that contrast with the exterior. Inside there's less of the rugged individualism to go around. There's just nothing else out there that looks like a HUMMER, and in its carefully constructed butch-patriotic frame, it looks swell.
2010 HUMMER H3 FOR SALE WINDOWS
The windows are slits, the fenders have blocky protrusions that will make Transformers turn to steroids in jealousy, and the big seven-bar grille remains a huge reminder to Jeep that it shares some history with the estranged GM brand. They have less in common with the Schwarzenegger-style H1 military vehicle than they do with GM's own Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon trucklets, but they ape the look so well, you might confuse them for the larger H2. Even if you're politically inclined to love them, the H3 pickup and SUV just aren't good enough at their everyday missions to recommend them over more useful utility vehicles like the Nissan Frontier and Xterra, our favorites in this class.Īt their best standing still, the HUMMER H3 and H3T are the picture of unadulterated swagger. The partisanship blurs the big issue with the small HUMMERs. Of course, that's a badge of honor to its die-hard fans, who'll gladly give up their HUMMERs-and you can pry them from their cold, dead hands. It's a brand so reviled by tree huggers, its dealerships have been firebombed. The 2010 HUMMER H3 offers impressive off-road capabilities and a tough-truck look.
