From what I’ve ehard, the Hummer H2 and H3 models are built on Suburban frames and/or use Suburban running gear.

They may look noie, but they aren’t as good as the original military Hummers.

The H2 is based on the Tahoe frame (shorter than a Suburban), while the H3 uses the smaller TrailBlazer frame.

I leased a H2 for five years, 05 model. I have no complaints, turned in back in last June. Simply the best vehicle I’ve ever had, or ridden in. The only reason I didn’t buy it at the end of the lease was mpg.

H3 on a Suburban frame? I don’t see how thats remotely possible, having had my H3 parked next to one of my best friends Suburban. The difference in length and width seems to preclude it. But thats just ‘eyeballing’ it.

As for ‘not as good’ as the military hummers...they weren’t designed to do remotely near the same ‘job’ as the military specs called for, so I don’t see that as a drawback at all.
