    #7 – Hummer H3

    HUMMER H3— In the last few years, Hummer has decided to shrink their vehicle and came out with two new Hummers. The latest and smallest one, the H3 made the list.

    It was as if the guys at Hummer said, oops, I guess the H2 isn’t as off-road worthy as we thought, and then said, ok, here is the H3.

    The H3 Adventure package is for off-roading with its bigger tires, skid plates, and low gear range. The one draw back and complaint is that the vehicle is a little too heavy for the motor, thus decreasing the amount of power reserved for moving it. But aside from the complaints, it has still proved itself a capable contender.
