They have no off road advantage what so ever. It's simply a case of a big, tow capable rig VS a super nice AWD road master. I'd drive either of them, but the Range is not "easily" better than an H2.

range rovers are actually great offroad, you just have to get rid of the street tires. i don't think i have the balls to take such a vehicle offroad though.

I think that's my point. It comes with low ground clearance, refined British interior, a BMW engine, and street tires.

Checkout the video me & Jay posted one page back showing a few different SUV's maneuvering, Range & H2 included. Not even the same type of vehicle man.

I'm not knocking a Range, because I'd drive one to work and back, but this thread went from a guy's new H2 purchase, to Hummer's are teh ghey & are pitiful offroad, etc--- to a Range Rover is by far a better choice. I mean WTF?

[not directed at Brewster] If you hate Hummer's that bad, go hop in your CRV hybrid and drive up to a tree and buttfuck it.

Not knocking the Hummers at all, but that vid was set up to make all the other SUVs to fail. The Range is much better off road than that video makes it out to be.

From the factory not much can touch a Hummer, no doubt.

I agree, it looked to be a ground clearance game, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen ditzy bitches stick there Range Rover's in a field of wet grass. One time me and 3 of my friends wrapped a tow strap around us and literally pulled the truck out of what it was spinning on top of.

The video you posted was a biased video, you can't actually try to pass that off. In the part where the Range Rover had clearance issues it was at regular ride height and would have easily cleared had it been raised with the turn of a knob.

That's like me posting the following video and trying to pass it off as proof that Hummers suck off-road:

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/R...c-I_107705.htm

An H1 is far above a Range Rover off-road. But an H2 is not better than an RR. They are both good street trucks with off-road capabilities but it's not hard to get the RR or the H2 stuck. I actually off-road my RR sometimes alone and other times in a group and I've NEVER had issues getting stuck or clearing anything an H2 has been able to and vice versa.


The only thing I will give the Hummer over the Range Rover is reliability and that's only comparing 03-05. An 06+ Range is every bit as if not more reliable than a Hummer.

I'm not saying the Hummer sucks, and maybe I'm alone when I make this statement, I just think the Range Rover is more refined and offers a much better driving experience. To me its like the comparison of a 996 turbo vs. a C5 Z06 or an E46 M3 vs CTS-V (gen 1). All 4 of the cars listed are great cars but I'm more of a 996 turbo/E46 M3 guy.

^^ Good points, but let me introduce your Rover to what I like to call Georgia clay, it won't go three feet on those street tires.

Like I said, I'm not biased to either--I'd rock both of them, but the H2 is a stronger truck, better in ACTUAL off road situations, and more reliable. That alone is enough reason to justify me picking an H2 over the Range.

HOWEVER, the Range is probably THE nicest SUV on the market.

Both make the panties drop though, it's proven.

Thought I'd pull this out. No one in this thread has or is disagreeing with that statement.... the whole discussion was geared towards the haters dropping in and calling the H2 a joke off road. I for one, know that the Range is through and through a much nicer and refined vehicle. Everytime I hear my door panels creak, I'd rather be in a Range Rover.

No doubt, any RR owner serious about off-roading should pick spend $400 on a set of LR3 18" wheels and get a proper set of tires for their terrain. The street tires are tailored towards 90% of the owners who will never use the car off-road. Part of the reason I'm not overly thrilled about the 2010 S/C is that the Brembo brakes are too big to put the tire I want on there. I'd actually get the standard model instead of the S/C if I had money for the 2010.

Everytime I hear my door panels creak, I'd rather be in a Range Rover.

And everytime I'm on the side of the road in the Range Rover waiting for the tow truck and the only dealer within 200 miles is giving me a busy signal I wish I was in a Hummer they both have their off days.

On a side note I wish I was at the auction today instead of busy with work. Whoever got this deal was lucky. Love how miles scare away buyers on these trucks.

I have and there are plenty of vehicles that are equal or superior to the H2. Lets skip past the bullshit and get to why you really bought that truck playa. Blang Facta for real. Get yo swagga on playa.

The video you posted is BS and completely biased. Half of the tests that the H2 were superior in were simply due to the wheel/tire combo.

The G is a beast with proper tires. Where is the 4Runner? The FJ? Landcruiser? Those are only the Toyotas...

I personally have driven an H1 (older model, loved it except for how slow it was, but they are not built for speed anyway), H2 (one big MEH) and the H3 (felt amazingly cheap for the the price).

I have also driven the H2 SUT or whatever the heck is called.

For the record I am "bashing" the glorified Colorado (H3) not the H2.

Hummers

I've driven a HMMWV. Pretty cool but I would want one as a DD lol.

Wrong playa. It's to tow jet-ski's and a boat, and haul an ass load of bitches to the lake or ocean.

Mine is desert silver with 35" tires and all black accessories, with no big wheels or chrome accents planned. Not exactly blang'n.

I also pull stuck Range Rover's out of the mud every now and then, but I make the bitches hook up the tow strap, so I don't get my kicks dirty--gotta keep that swagga.

lol... Playa fo real... Swagga = Bling. Just a new word for the same old shit. You can tow that stuff with any SUV, but you wanted something bitches like. Bitches like money, so you looked in the mirror and said "what's got tha mos swagga?" H2 FOR REALS SON! I noticed it's kind of trendy with the wangsters to rock mudders and never hit the trails with them. You watch MMA and UFC don't you? Rock Air forces, tore up jeans and a $50 Tap Out shirt don't you? Like a bad cross between a douchebag and a thug.

It's cool. The car's people drive speak volumes for their personality no matter what you type. Just don't act like there aren't much better vehicles suited to what you need it for or for off road endeavors. You have spent so much time trying to convince everyone in this thread that you bought it for more than that it's gat the mos swagga.

I also have desert silver. Do you still have the chrome grill in front or did you have It painted black. I am getting rid of all chrome on mine and I wanted to see how it looked black. Post pica of your himmer

And to the wankster/air force ones/ufc? mma?/tapout reference. Way too much work and thought went into your post my friend.

I think I'm going to pull the race card out. I'm about the whitest kid you know.

Pic for reference?





I bought a Hummer H2 because I tow watercraft and 7 people who enjoy them, attend many gun meets, deer hunt on my land, frequently need luggage space, off road for fun, etc, etc, etc. & hopefully it's towing my new SC300 turbo build to TX2K10.

Not many vehicles do all of the things I get into with as much ease, comfort, and reliability. Of the select few that do, they don't touch an H2 off road STOCK FOR STOCK. The H2 rides on 35" tires, plenty of ground clearance, and a lot of options that are incredible for the outdoor lifestyle, that ALL the haters never really know about. Onboard air compressor [that is used for tire airups and various water sport needs, heated seating for all occupants, excellent stock recovery systems directly into the frame, and plenty of power tow. I have not done a single upgrade to my truck and it performs well for what I need. It get's shitty gas mileage, but so does a Chevy 2500HD [non Diesel]--a comparable vehicle.

Of all places, Supra Forums, is getting onto fellow members for getting the "bad boy" of the lineup or model. It's rediculous.
