If it weren't for the optional backup camera, reversing the vehicle would have been more difficult than it already was, as well as potentially dangerous; if a small child were standing behind the H2 it would have been hard to see him at all. I agree it is not as peppy under a heavy load as my duramax truck was, but it actually pulled just as well from a handling perspective. It receives a new drivetrain that is more powerful and, according to Hummer, more efficient. The H2 is very comfortable. By the way, you can get H2's all day long in the 20's.
This is the environment that the redesigned 2008 Hummer H2 faces today. This is the environment that the redesigned 2008 Hummer H2 faces today. I know that hummers tow cap. In an attempt to reduce the H2's environmental impact, for 2009, Hummer adds E85 flex fuel capability to its 6. I think that is part of why they rate it so low for towing.

Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The steering is rather precise for a large vehicle, and the generous power assist means your arms won't have to work too hard. The H2's signature off-road capabilities are courtesy of its monstrous 315-series tires and aggressive approach and departure angles. Please no hummer bad mouthing.
Before you start comparison shopping, be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price, which shows the typical transaction price the H3 fetches in your neck of the woods. The V10 is very unrealiable. It is not a Tahoe. The air bags are a lot more durable than most people think. With the second row folded, the 40-cubic-foot cargo area more than doubles to 86. An excursion with the V10 is a real pile of crap. Installed in the 6400-lb H2, the engine gives roughly the same weight-to-power ratio as a Toyota Camry four-cylinder.
While the brakes have a somewhat soft feel, reviewers describe stopping power as adequate and well-controlled. Well, what I will be towing most often is a small camper trailer which is under the tow rating of the H2. I drive it on 600 mile business trips a couple of times a year all at one seating.

The H3X gains a body color grille, a chrome brush guard, 18-inch chrome wheels, heated leather power seats, a Monsoon sound system, and chrome exterior trim.
Acceleration with the automatic isn't bad from a standstill, and the 3. With this design come certain driving characteristics, like noticeable dive when braking. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. All other trims easily absorb small bumps at lower speeds, but those bumps will be far more palpable if encountered during highway cruising. The gear selector looks like the throttle out of a commercial airliner, but it's made of aluminum and features details like real Allen screws, which give it an industrial look. We have gotten 7 in; but some of those were girls I love all you haters.
But in short--no you can't improve the towing capacity of the deuce short of going diesel, and then you won't know what you're rated to. It is seriously bad azz. Unfortunately, low-speed downshifts can produce a harsh jolt, and passing and merging can seem to yield a lot of noise for the action. At least E rated tires is what you would want.
