Reply With Quotei had a H2 and loved it but i went on a few rides in the h1 they are not very comfortable for long rides and don't have much power, they have more power now but not any more room inside. i would not want one as a daily driver.
I know of a fella with 2. One for himself and one for his wife. Now he say's they need to be maintained more than a normal vehicle. Such as gear hub assemblys and such because they were not designed for daily driving duty. Which I find strange because it's military spec stuff.
But if you look at the schedule it is in there starting at 12k.

It is important that maintenance items outlined in the schedules be performed at suggested intervals. Regular maintenance will greatly improve vehicle reliability and longevity. These maintenance schedules reflect services required for normal operation. Normal operation includes city/highway driving on hard surface roads with minimal operation on unpaved road surfaces. Extensive off road driving, commercial use, sustained operation in high ambient temperatures, and trailer towing may require additional and more frequent services. Maintenance should be performed at your HUMMER service center; some maintenance may require specialized knowledge and equipment.
After vehicle mileage reaches 63,000 repeat the schedule, starting at 3,000 miles.

Robby Gordon was out in Glamis this weekend testing his new Hummer that he'll be racing in the Dakar Rally starting at the end of the month.
Don't get a diesel one! The old GM diesel is a slug. We dynoed one for a customer - Banks turbo kit, upgraded pump, etc - 86hp and 162ft-lbs to the wheels. :yuk:

OTOH, my boss LOVES his H2, even though it's a gas motor. He doesn't tow though.

The new ones have Duramaxes and Allisons. Nothing slug about that.
There was a company in So Cal years ago that was pulling the 6.2's and 6.5's out and putting ZZ502HO's in their place. They had a video of one coming around a corner on some track setup in a dirt field, full 4 wheel drift, mud shooting up off all 4 tires and a healthy exhaust rumble. Bad ass, that is, if you like that kind of stuff.
I know someone who knows someone who knows Roman that will tell you to stop being a yuppy.
Where is Jay?
I'm not sure the H1 is the kind of "image vehicle" you want for your company Wes. Just my opinion but I think you'd do a lot better with something else. I'm sure you've seen the Freightliners and Internationals (commercial trucks) that are outfitted with pickup boxes and creature comforts inside - those would be better. And I'm sure you've seen the stretched Fords (Super Duty 450 or 550 or 650 or whatever they are) - those could be cool too. Otherwise I'd suggest you get the LBZ diesel with Allison tranny and have it stretched and customized.
Any way you go you should have a better driving, riding (not offroad though) and looking vehicle for less (or even the same $165K).
Good luck!
Damn, Wes.... I figured you had "business" experience with them already
A little...
That is why I'm interested frankly. We couldn't stop them. And let me tell you, we tried.
But, there is a big difference between rolling through a terroist-infested ghetto in Mogadishu and a soccer-mom infested Fashion Valley Mall parking garage.
I know what the deal is on them, I just wanted to hear from someone who has owned one so I can get the real skinny. Are they as cool as they look?
Does anyone still stretch trucks out? I saw a dually a while ago that had three doors on each side but haven't found anyone on the net who advertises that kinda thing. I think the shizzle would be a crew cab with an extended cab spliced in behind the back doors. Lotsa leg room for the backseaters.

Where is Jay?But an h1 is a true off road vehichle that doest have to worry about snapping tie rods trying to go over a rockThey aint all that comfy but amde to abuse
.H2 is just a rebodied suburban or (yuppie status suburban)that really cant handle real oof road situations but funny to see people that think because it says hummer it is like an h1.LOL
