The monster vehicle that used to be available only to
the United States Army is now obtainable for civilians
through General Motor's Hummer division.
Hummers
became the rave of the whole country after the highly
popular Desert Storm in Iraq where its military
counterpart, the HumVee, was featured endlessly. This
popularity triggered worldwide demand and thus, the
Hummer edition was created. Nowadays, military and
civilians alike can avail themselves of these superb
vehicles.
Hummers are available in three types of model: the H1,
H2 and H3. H1 Hummers are generally the largest of the
three.
H3 models are
those designed very much like other
sports
utility
vehicles
to suit a civilian consumer's need for aesthetics. The
H2 balances rider's comfort and rough driving to the
hilt. There are many more other sub models available
under each type but none stands out more than the H2 SUT
model.
The H2 SUT model incorporates a pickup and four-door
SUV type,
thus earning the name SUT. This innovative way of
maximizing the benefits of a sports utility vehicle and
a pickup truck gained much popularity from Hummer
enthusiasts.
General
Motors have
equipped this model with various features that would
surely increase the demand for such a vehicle in the
years to come.
This baby is powered by a Vortec 6000 V8 engine with
325hp and 4-speed automatic transmission. A variable
throttle control with 2 different progressions allows
for a precise control over rugged and off-road terrain.
The H2 SUT also features a power glass window at the
back of the cabin which can be folded down along with
the second row seats to allow for a larger cargo area.
This virtually means that you can load almost anything
on the pickup truck. This model also offers a 4 channel
anti lock braking system that helps the driver bring the
vehicle to a controlled stop. Its flawless design allows
the driver to sit comfortably behind the steering wheel
without worrying about the SUT from nosing downward
while braking hard.
To top it all off, the interiors of this type of model
surely puts any vehicle to shame. Full leather interior
with electrically adjustable seats make for a
comfortable and enjoyable ride over any type of terrain.
Bose speakers with separate audio sources for the second
row passengers add to the beauty of this model. The H2
SUT is truly the king of all Hummers on the road today
but General Motors has announced that a Pickup truck
model may soon be on the market so keep an eye for what
may be the best Hummer yet.
