I've owned this truck for a few years and it has been absolutely awesome. Runs and drives great! I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross-country. Brand new Terra Grapplers 37/14.50/17; loaded with options: Remote start, Navigation, backup camera, video system, tinted windows, power everything, Bose sound system, heated seats (front and rear), moonroof, roof rails, side steps, brush guard, tow package, upgraded brakes with cross-drilled rotors, headers, custom exhaust, custom wheels. MUST SELL ASAP!!! If you're not familiar with the upgrades on the 2008 model year H2s, here's an interesting article describing the new features: 2008 HUMMER Strength The biggest and most welcome news for 2008, especially to anyone that's driven the pokey, 325-hp 2003-2007 H2 is the installation of GM's prodigious 6.2-liter V-8, which has proven itself capable of adding a heaping spoonful of entertainment to the similarly decadent Cadillac Escalade and GMC Sierra Denali. In the H2 it is tuned to deliver 393 horsepower, 10 fewer than in the others due to exhaust packaging constraints. That's still an impressive 68 more than the 2007 model's 6.0-liter V-8. Similarly, torque rises from 365 to 415 at 4400 rpm. The big engine makes a big difference. First, we recorded 0-to-60 mph in 7.1 ticks, an improvement of 3.6 seconds over the ’03 H2. The quarter-mile arrives in 15.7 seconds at 88 mph, a trip during which you’ll be serenaded by the bellowing V-8, which sounds fantastic even over the torrents of wind noise generated by the H2’s flat, upright windshield. Second, it sounds great. Making the most of that power at any velocity is a six-speed automatic with tap-up/tap-down manual shift controls, the latter located oddly enough within the left bank of steering-wheel buttons. The meatier powertrain also helps the HUMMER when it comes to towing trailers up to 8000 pounds, an increase of 1500 pounds over last year's model. The crazy part: HUMMER claims that fuel economy has actually improved by 10 percent, though the actual number remains a mystery (vehicles of this weight class don't have to declare EPA fuel economy numbers). Credit the additional transmission ratios for allowing lower revs at most road speeds. That said, even with its legendary off-road dexterity, the H2 likely won't be able to claw its way out of the low-to-mid teens in terms of real-world fuel economy. Even Better Off-Road Capability HUMMERS have always been astounding off-road, and that doesn't change for 2008. An upgraded cast-iron transfer case was fitted to handle the extra torque. The transmission's gear spread allows more flexibility in rock-crawling both in the form of a higher top speed in low range, as well as a lower crawl ratio in first. And first gear is exactly where we kept the H2 once we started hitting the juicy obstacles in the off-road journey along the Rock Garden Trail near Aztec, New Mexico. There, we crawled up and down 60-percent-plus grades with uncanny finesse, its formidable width notwithstanding. Out there, where there are few trees to squeeze between but many craggy rocks to avoid, the H2's rectilinear body was sometimes our friend, helping us gauge exactly where each corner was. With no bumpers wrapping around the wheels, the H2 has spectacular approach and departure angles, allowing us to basically nose straight up to a sheer wall of rock and then let the front wheels pull us up and over the top. We only wished for an open-top version so we could enjoy even better views once we got there. Minimally Changed Exterior, Massively Improved Interior If you can spot the HUMMER's exterior styling changes upon first glance, you're more observant than most of us. If not, here's a rundown: silver front bumpers, new wheels (still 17 inches in diameter with another take on Hummer's fat-hub, seven-spoke design), and enlarged slots in the grille to accommodate the engine's greater need for air. That's it. Inside, however, is a different story. The previous H2's interior was nothing to be proud of, some might even say it was as bad as a Pontiac Aztek's and not hugely better than what you'd find in a '96 Cavalier. The plasticky mess was an absolute embarrassment for a vehicle that wanted so badly to be as tough as a Sherman tank, not to mention one that cost well over $50,000. For 2008, however, the General endowed the H2 with the same sort of interior refinement offered by GM's more recent truck offerings, including the aforementioned Escalade, the full-size pickups and the GMC Acadia/Saturn Outlook/Buick Enclave trio. Specifically, the dashboard has been completely restyled, with sexy ice-blue backlighting, flush-fitting, no-gap panel assembly, available touch-screen navigation, brushed-look silver trim, a chrome-ringed six-pot gauge cluster, and, like last year, a chunky shift handle. HUMMER even installed a center-mounted analog clock in what appears to be a strange homage to Maserati and Infiniti. When you have this much real estate, we suppose, you fill it up. Other notable improvements include new, comfier leather-piped seats that help the interior feel suitably upscale. The cupholders work better too. Safety for All Upon the unfortunate occasion that 6650 pounds and physics don't work in your favor, HUMMER has outfitted the '08 H2 for the first time with curtain airbags for all three rows (the third row is now able to hold two passengers, not just one), as well as a rollover sensing system, a refined traction control system, and stability control with rollover mitigation. Everyone—especially those in front of a HUMMER piloted by a Brentwood housewife, phone in one hand and latte in the other—should be happy about that.
