GM (General Motors) does not build many cars like the Hummer H2: a 5-door Sports utility vehicle / SUV / 5-door pickup truck with 6.0 , built from 2002 to 2009 in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Its designer of record is Clay Dean (2000). Production ran to 153,026 cars.
Where it came from
The Hummer H2 is a full-size off-road SUV that was marketed by Hummer and built in the AM General facility under contract from General Motors from 2002 until 2009. It is based on a modified GMT820 GM three-quarter-ton pickup truck in the front and a half-ton 1500 frame in the rear. A four-door pickup truck version with a midgate that opens the vehicle's interior to the external cargo bed was introduced for the 2005 model year as the H2 SUT (sport utility truck).
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 6.0 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 6400 lb - 6.0 . The gearbox is a 4-speed 4L60E automatic (2002–2004) / 4-speed 4L65E automatic (2005–2007) / 6-speed 6L80E automatic transmission / automatic (2008–2009). The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 122.8 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in GM (General Motors)'s history is not in doubt: it was built at Mishawaka, Indiana. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Citroën C3, the Volvo XC90, the Honda Accord. Nearby in the GM (General Motors) catalogue sit the 1955 Chevrolet and the 1957 Chevrolet.
