Just got a Hummer...tows great and the full time four wheel drive is super on the ramp. Crawls up a wet ramp with no problems. The wife thinks its just cool...me and the governator.

I would have expected a Hummer to be an excellent tow vehicle. H or H2 , either.

OK we want pics!
And is it a black one, or a white one, or have you painted your hull blue, and matched that? The Blue Hummer is supposedly faster!
Now you can go to Lake Powell, and just say.....I don't need no stinking launch ramps!!!

boulder grey with the aluminum wheels. Hit the traction control button and it just crawls up the ramp!..

now all you need is a Nissan 90 hp TLDI on the rear end of your MAC.
anything less looks "tacky" when pulled by an H!

Steve, how has the Hummer worked out for you? I am looking for a tow vehicle and wondering if a Hummer H3 would be a good choice.
Thanks
