2006 Hummer H3 Road Test

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.
