    #10 – Hummer H1 Alpha

    HUMMER H1 — No list of Ultimate SUVs would be complete without the Hummer H1.

    Originally built for the military, this eventually came about for use by civilians. Although some say that if the government wasn’t backing them up they probably wouldn’t have succeeded, they still build a scary machine.

    The price on these vehicles is steep, so most people probably won’t be running to the dealership right now. Another drawback is that they are 7.5 feet wide, making them not really good for tight spaces.
