In the world of off-road performance, there are few used brands that carry the same weight as HUMMER. A used HUMMER is the perfect tool for overcoming any obstacle that might be encountered when driving hundreds of miles from civilization. The HUMMER lineup is filled out by vehicles which can ford rivers, hop nimbly from boulder to boulder and climb even the steepest escarpments. Not only are used HUMMER sport-utility vehicles some of the most impressive all-terrain chariots ever constructed, but the brand has also developed a strong reputation for providing a luxurious driving experience. A used HUMMER offers a used Cadillac-level of interior comfort, especially the full-size HUMMER H2 SUV. This has made HUMMER the truck of choice even for urban dwellers who will most likely never drive their HUMMER across anything more challenging than potholes or a construction site. In addition to its popular SUV designs, HUMMER also offers pickup versions of both the H2 and the smaller H3, which has enabled buyers of used cars to purchase a practical yet comfortable vehicle. Slightly less up-market than the H2, the H3 has developed a following amongst weekend off-roaders who appreciate both the SUV and pickup edition’s ability to tackle tough trails yet still offer civilized manners as a daily driver. Popular Used HUMMER Cars The HUMMER brand is tightly focused, with a limited lineup on offer; below, we’ll take a brief look at three of the most popular used HUMMER vehicles.
• Used HUMMER H1 – The granddaddy of all HUMMERs, the HUMMER H1 was a military-grade vehicle built for civilian use until 2006. Larger than life, this ultra-wide HUMMER is the ultimate used trail vehicle, with 16 inches of ground clearance and the amazing ability to conquer whatever terrain might lay before it. • Used HUMMER H2 SUV – Essentially a more refined version of the HUMMER H1, a used HUMMER H2 is a far easier to live with vehicle that offers 95 percent of the original HUMMER’s capabilities. Serious luxury packages make a used H2 an appealing choice for buyers interested in a less expensive premium SUV. • Used HUMMER H3 – A mid-size SUV that borrows the much larger H2’s looks, the H3 is far easier to park and much cheaper to buy. Still large enough to attract attention, a used HUMMER H3 is a good balance between power and practicality.
The Bottom Line On Used HUMMER Cars A used HUMMER is a specialty vehicle, intended to be enjoyed far off the beaten path. That being said, a used HUMMER H2 is an excellent gateway into the world of high class luxury SUVs even for those who may never take advantage of its full capabilities. A used HUMMER H1, on the other hand, is best suited to experienced trail drivers who are comfortable with the sacrifices that its ownership demands.
