Hummer – other models: the collective page for H2-SUT, H3 and H3 Alpha outside the named series, 3,441 to 6,500 cm³ engine capacity, five- to eight-cylinder, 2,094 to 2,868 kg kerb weight
This page gathers Hummer vehicles that the register does not assign to a named series – from the compact H3 and the higher-output H3 Alpha variant, through the H2-SUT with its open bed, to the M998, the military base version of the HMMWV. General Motors launched the civilian H2 in 2002 and the smaller H3, based on the Colorado/Canyon chassis, in 2005; both were built at the Shreveport, Louisiana plant until the brand was discontinued in 2010. The SUT suffix stands for Sport Utility Truck and denotes the pick-up variant of the H2 with an open load bed.

The register lists 10 versions with 3,441 to 6,500 cm³ engine capacity from five- to eight-cylinder engines, 2,094 to 2,868 kg kerb weight and 2,654 to 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight. Widths range from 1,940 to 2,180 mm, one measured length stands at 4,780 mm.
Hummer positioned itself as the civilian counterpart to the military Humvee and served a niche segment of markedly off-road, wide-bodied SUVs and pick-ups in the US market. The civilian models were mostly registered as imports in Europe and, for lack of a dedicated van category there, were sometimes placed in the commercial-vehicle category.
For a used example, the large-displacement V8 engines call for checking the condition of the cylinder-head gaskets and fuel consumption, while the off-road running gear calls for checking axle play and the condition of the transfer case and differential locks. Corrosion is rarely the main issue on these relatively young vehicles; accident history and service records matter more, as parts for the discontinued brand increasingly have to be sourced through specialist dealers in the US.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
