Hummer Cars Canada

Big on being big

Looking for a used family hauler that doesn't make a scene, is easy to park, and doesn't burn through fuel like a refinery fire? Feel free to check out another one of our used model write-ups. This one focuses on the Hummer H2--and it's definitely not a machine for every shopper.

Loved for capability and style, but not fuel mileage

Do you want a big, honkin' 4x4 that can crawl up rocks, down mountains and across swamps? Need to haul yourself and your buddies to the cottage in style with your favourite weekend power-toys in tow? Looking to make a bit of an automotive fashion statement in the process?

Hummer's actually done their homework in transforming the Chevy small truck platform for maximum off-road competence. For starters, the torsion-bar front suspension has been pushed forward and downward to reduce the front overhang and raises the frame up for more ground clearance. The tires have been pushed out to the four corners of the body to allow the H3 a tighter turning circle. Naturally, all H3s have all-wheel-drive with a locking center differential and an electrically controlled low range. I kept the H3 on pavement during the week I had the car, but I can imagine the smaller footprint would actually make the H3 easier to maneuver than the larger Hummers out in the woods.
