It is also way too wide for the mountain roads, which is why they never really caught on in the Rocky Mountain states. They are mostly an urban California thing. They were designed for off road adventures in Iraq and Russia, not to go fishing.In all my years of off roading in the mountains of California, I have only seen one Hummer off road, and I told him that he would not be able to proceed much further up the trail as his vehicle was too wide (unlike my Jeep) to negotiate the narrow trail ahead.

had the same experiences in MI, watched many a hummer (including h1s) turn around and go back while i kept going in my jeep.
gimme a jeep any day over an h1, for 1/4 the cost i can build a jeep that’ll do everything an h1 can do, and an awful lot they can’t.
