fastest production car in the world is now US made.

Humvees and go basicly anywhere. the ones we got in the military are BEASTS! they are heavy, but they can go anywhere, even up a wall. (slight incline nessisary)

Sorry to have to be the one to burst your bubble here but I've been into 4 plus trail running and rock crawling for 30 years now. The original Hummer is a capable vehicle for it's size but is deficiant in a lot of areas...it's almost worthless on tight trails because of it's width and in spite of its look...does poorly in soft sand and snow. (If you doubt the accuricy of this statement check out the motor pool reports on the units deployed to the faulkland islands...thier first official war zone... 95% of the hummers had to be towed off of the same beach that fully loaded duce and half trucks negotiated with relitive ease. As far as climbing ability goes...the hummer is rated for an 85% grade while mil spec Landrovers for instance are rated for a 100% grade. In other words....no they can't climb a wall even with a ramp and a running start.

Now if your talking about the H2...thats nothing more than a POS GM SUV with an ugly body on it...and the H3 is even more rediculious...
Care to prove me wrong? shell out the bucks and meet me on the sleghammer run at the end Oct...

I was in the military, they dealt with the sand problem. It now has a device to lower air pressure to get traction on soft ground. It works great in sand now, with the air pressure control device.

That was the autoinflation device that was an option on a lot of the early civy models. They also got a shield on the forward part of wheel gear reduction assembly. As I said...capable vehicle for its size...what was designed originally as a very manorvable 1/4 ton light utility vehicle turned into a medium duty truck with the worst light diesel engine available in it..(GM 6.2...then 6.5) They are still built with the weak 6.5 even though GM scrapped the engine for thier own truck line in favor of the new isuzu unit.
