Used Hummer in PA
Few vehicles are as instantly recognizable as a Hummer SUV.
Unapologetically boxy and impossibly wide, these rugged vehicles
entered the civilian world after being a mainstay as a military
vehicle for years. The original Hummer, called the H1, was sold for
a few years as the brand's flagship vehicle. Production ended after
2006, but Hummer has been expanding its vehicle lineup to include
vehicles that still possess the Hummer bravado but with more
civilized road manners. For those looking for a used Hummer, fuel
economy is obviously not a factor.
However, not all Hummer’s are
equal when it comes to miles to the gallon. Hummer introduced its
smallest model, the H3, with a five-cylinder engine in 2006, and the
timing couldn't have been better. In response to consumers looking
for more power, the H3 Alpha, a special edition propelled by a
300-hp, 5.3-liter V-8 was rolled out in 2008. The used Hummer H1
model, which was axed after 2004, is more of the typical military
style vehicle, there is really no other production model like it.
The H1 is capable of stunning tasks in the wilderness, but this
really isn't a machine for ordinary motoring -- even though some
owners who flaunt their brawny H1s may never leave the pavement. As
an alternative to an SUV Hummer, a used SUT, or Sport Utility Truck
is available as the H2 model. The H2 SUT has an open pickup-truck
bed with a folding midgate that extends the 2.9-foot-long cargo
floor into the cabin, to a 6-foot maximum. There is also an Hummer
H2 SUV available, that is slightly larger than the H#, yet much more
refined than the H1.
Finding Jersey City Used Hummers
Hummer is a brand of off-road vehicles sold by General Motors. The
original Hummer H1 was based on the military High Mobility
Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV, or Humvee). However, the Hummer
H2 and the Hummer H3 were based on other, smaller civilian-market
vehicles. Hummers were originally built by AM General Corporation,
which was formerly AMC Jeep's General Products division, in its
Mishawaka, Indiana assembly plant. They were created under a
contract for the United States armed forces. In 1992, AM General
began selling a civilian version of the M998 High Mobility
Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Hum-Vee) vehicle to the
public under the brand name Hummer. While the future of Hummer is
known, it will continue to remain one of the most recognizable and
largest vehicles on the road. And as far as the military Humvees go,
they will always be know as the militaries means of transportation.
Team Hummer Racing was created in 1993 and showcases the Hummer's
abilities. Led by off-road racer Rod Hall, Team Hummer competes in
the Stock classes of both BitD and SCORE, which feature
production-based vehicles with stock frames, stock suspension
designs, and production-based engines. Specialized racing shock
absorbers, tires, and other minor modifications are allowed, along
with the required supporting components and mandatory safety
equipment. Team Hummer has tallied one of the most impressive
records in production-class racing, earning 11 class wins at the
Baja 1000. GM has been active in licensing the Hummer. Various
companies have licensed the Hummer trademarks for use on colognes,
flashlights, bicycles, shoes, coats, hats, laptops, clothing, CD
players and other items. Since all Hummer vehicles have heavy-duty
capabilities, they have been employed by owners for aid in large
disaster situations. Hummer Owners Prepared for Emergencies (HOPE)
was created by the efforts of The Hummer Club, INC. and the American
Red Cross. Together, the two organizations train Hummer owners with
CPR and First Aid skills, and basic off-highway skills so that they
may assist victims during a disaster situation. GM paid the Red
Cross $4 million to participate in the organization. Visit the
