Hummer H1 Snow
No matter whether H1 customers choose the 4-Door Wagon model or the 4-Door Open Top, they'll rest assured knowing their vehicle can tackle the most difficult terrain. That's because the HUMMER H1 is no SUV afterthought. It wasn't designed to be satisfied with tackling 22 inches of snow or curb-high obstacles. In fact, it wasn't "designed" as much as it was "engineered." More specifically, it was engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the U.S. armed forces who needed a vehicle with power, agility and durability like nothing in existence. Strip away some refinements and creature comforts, and the HUMMER H1 is still the "HUMVEE" so trusted and respected by the military.
Where does one start in describing H1's off-road capability? How about its 16-inch vertical ground clearance - almost double that of any other 4x4. Let's not overlook H1's dramatic approach and departure angles of 72 degrees and 37.5 degrees, respectively, or the 17-inch aluminum wheels shod with 37-inch tires. You may never encounter the actual need, but there's a degree of comfort in knowing this vehicle can ford a 30-inch deep body of water.
Four-wheel drive is standard and features TorqTrac 4 technology. It automatically reduces tire spin on severe terrain or slippery surfaces by applying the brake to the spinning wheel. This allows the differential to redistribute torque to those wheels with traction. As if that weren't enough, H1 owners may opt for the Off-Road Adventure Package. This package is the ultimate in off-road equipment, and includes a front and rear Eaton ELocker locking differential. Activated instantaneously at the push of a button, the front and rear differentials can be locked for optimum slow-speed capability in climbing over large rocks or up long, steep grades. The Off-road Adventure Package also includes a 12,000-pound winch kit, 17-inch, two-piece aluminum wheels with dual beadlocks, and Goodyear Wrangler MT/R tires. Goodyear GSA tires can be substituted for the MT/R tires, if the customer so desires.
