Things You Need to Know About Getting the Right HUMMER

Are you thinking about buying a GM HUMMER® to help you tackle those tough Canadian winters with finesse? If so, then you're not alone. The HUMMER® is one of the most unique vehicles offered by GM. Not only does it come in a variety of models to make getting around anything easier than ever, but it is also priced competitively amongst vehicles in its class (but let's be serious: no matter how you spin it, the HUMMER® is in a class of its own).

Here's what you should know about the HUMMER® before you take a closer look.

What's That You Say? The HUMMER® is a GM Vehicle?

That's right. Many people are surprised to learn that the HUMMER® is actually manufactured by GM. GM is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, owning at least eight different vehicle brands, including Chevrolet, Buick®, Pontiac, GMC, Saturn, Hummer®, Saab, and Cadillac. The HUMMER® isn't just in a class of its own; it's part of a family of quality-made cars.

Four Models to Choose From

The GM HUMMER® comes in four different models for the 2009 market. They include: GM HUMMER® H3T, GM HUMMER® H2 SUT, GM HUMMER® H2 SUV and the GM HUMMER® H3. The prices for these models vary a great deal. For example, the GM HUMMER® H2 SUV ranges from a whopping $63,000 to about $71,000, but the GM HUMMER® H3 comes in at only about $34,000 and goes up to $39,000.

Plus, as you can probably tell by the name, the GM HUMMER® SUV and the GM HUMMER® SUT are classic sport utility vehicles. The GM HUMMER® H2 SUT and GM HUMMER® H3T combine spacious passenger space with flatbed towing capacity as well.

Huge Towing Capacity and Horsepower

As you might have guessed, you're not going to get the world's best fuel economy (about 14 mpg to 18 mpg) with a GM HUMMER®. However, you will get unbeatable towing capacity and horsepower, making the GM HUMMER® the vehicle for you if you're looking for power, torque, and tow-worthiness. The H2 SUV can haul up to 8,200 pounds with its 415 horsepower capacity. The smaller GM HUMMER® H3 can haul 4,500 pounds with up to 300 horses.

Ample Seating

The GM HUMMER® is built to seat you and all your friends. The GM HUMMER®H2 SUV seats 7 comfortably, but even the H2 SUT seats five - plus the flatbed cargo space!
