How good are Hummers off road?

Are Hummers any good off road?

[D4D]

Too wide for VIC tracks unless you like pin stripes.

I hear they're go ok on the Chapel St Track over the tram lines

H2 as D4 says, way too wide for normal 4wd use as they are really an army platform. 

H3 (the small one sold here a while ago) are as capable as Prado and Pajero with better approach and departure angles.

Like all IFS vehicles traction control makes them far more capable than they used to be.  I imagine they would compete well against the FJ cruiser now.

Is this true that they completely stop in the middle of a creek?

Hummers are designed and made wide so they follow the tracks of US Army tanks like the M1 Abrams in warzones. Rational being if they follow tank tracks / ruts, they reduce the risk of hitting landmines.

Not quiet as good as Nissan's, but heaps better then TOYotas.....hahahah

But witha 50cal mini gun  on the roof  nobody cares where you go

Yes, sadly.

Look at any photo of a creek from the US, and there's at least one Hummer stopped in the dead centre of it. No one knows why.

[singo-26]

Definately not as good as your Mums landcruiser are they Ethan?

Folks this is a 10 year old kid that goes to school with my young bloke, go easy on him. 

[baldheadedgit]

oh nice one.!!!.. now ya tell me,,,lol foot in mouth again.

[Campfire]

Hummers are too wide and impractical, it would be an absolute mongrel with inner city underground parking.

Give me a decent tried and tested Toyota or Nissan anyway.

I would probably need a second mortgage just to cover the fuel bill.

PMSL. Probably says as much about the owners/drivers as the vehicle.

Don't tell anyone, but so would I. Despite getting such a bad rap, any of the Hummer models are actually brilliant offroad.

I'd take mine as a H3T please:
