2002 Hummer H1
Tough as nails with a look all its own...
Since its introduction, the Hummer is one of few vehicles used by the military that is also available for private purchase. This American General Hummer H1 was designed literally to perform in the worst driving and climate conditions with a long drivable life span. The awesome part about this Hummer is its low miles. Now that the H1 is retired from production you'll find that this one is young in its life and is sure to retain its value for years to come. Driving around town, you'll definitely turn heads. Off-road, you'll have the envy of 4 wheel drivers everywhere.If you're looking for a truck that'll scale ledges up to 22 inches, climb 60-degree grades, traverse 40-degree slopes, and drive through 2 and a half feet of water... this is the Hummer you are looking for. All in a package that's reliable and durable for use by the U.S. Military.
Under the hood is a 6.5L 8-cylinder diesel motor. Like everything else about this Hummer, everything was designed for purpose. It has 195 horsepower, and for raw climbing power it has 430 ft-lbs torque. It has power for any street and the ability to crawl over anything in its way. 37" tires give it 16 inches of ground clearance. The Central Tire Inflation System lets you monitor the tire pressure and an on-board compressor lets you make on the fly adjustments. Mud, Sand, and Snow are no object for this Hummer H1. Looking underneath is my favorite part of a Hummer. The differentials and driveshafts are tucked up into the chassis for better ground clearance and in avoiding impact. It has great ground clearance and the underside almost looks like a sled for clearing objects. The Hummer isn't your typical luxury vehicle. If you looking for comfortable, practical car for your daily commute, this isn't it. If you're looking for a modern engineering marvel capable of any terrain, the Hummer is in a class of its own.This H1 is a modern engineering marvel capable of any terrain.
Inside there's a theme of unapologetic focus on function. The H1 Hummer's cabin is wide open, but the seats are a bit tight considering it's size. It's more than enough for four people to fit comfortably. The engine, and transmission sit higher in the cabin for better ground clearance. It's loaded with bolts, metal, plastic, and no effort was made to hide or tuck it away. It screams durability. Even though most amenities for typical luxury cars have been cut out, I did find the Monsoon speakers to be more than suitable. A 6 disc CD player plus lots of amps and a great sound, make for some great trail riding. Other than that, power windows, remote locks, and cloth seats are about the only "comfort" features of this truck.Since receiving this Hummer we professionally detailed it from the inside out. It's in great condition with little signs of wear or neglect. We performed a 57-point inspection and found no major mechanical issues. This Hummer has low miles with a long life ahead of it.
