It is also way too wide for the mountain roads, which is why they never really caught on in the Rocky Mountain states. They are mostly an urban California thing. They were designed for off road adventures in Iraq and Russia, not to go fishing.

Actually Hummer1’s were designed for Europe.

The local Shoshone/Bannock tribe got a big settlement over some environmental clean up issues on the reservation land. Instead of cleaning up the problem, the government just paid them off. The car dealers sold lots of new cars...including lots of Hummers...right after the payout.

In all my years of off roading in the mountains of California, I have only seen one Hummer off road, and I told him that he would not be able to proceed much further up the trail as his vehicle was too wide (unlike my Jeep) to negotiate the narrow trail ahead.
