2009 Hummer H2 Sut Luxury

The H2 is the big one in Hummer's lineup, a full-size SUV that's more about presence and off-road bravado than everyday practicality. It drives like the heavy truck it is, with a high seating position and a ride that floats over bumps, though you'll feel every expansion joint in town. Inside, the cabin is wide and airy with plenty of room for five, and the rear seats fold flat to open up a generous cargo area. Expect fuel bills that match its size, and budget for premium fuel and regular maintenance on a vehicle that's not cheap to run. The Sut Luxury is the pickup version of the H2, for buyers who want the off-road presence with an open bed instead of an enclosed cargo area. Its 6.2L V8 makes 393 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, so it has the grunt to pull through deep mud or tow a trailer. The Sut's midgate lets you fold down the rear wall and extend the bed into the cabin, a trick that only this Hummer trim offers.
