You would be surprised at the capabilities of an H2, it started out as basically a heavy duty suburban but the similarities pretty much end there. The drive train is from a Denali/Escalade beefed up with a low range. To put 35" BFG's on a suburban will require at least a 6" suspension lift yet they are standard on the H2. 4 Wheel Traction control is standard and allows 3 of the 4 wheels to be in the air yet the vehicle still can get traction.

Some of its capability:

Scale a 16in. vertical wall
Ford 20in. of water
Ascend a 60% incline
Traverse a 40% side slope

As for Jeeps, they are also fantastic for off roading, the size makes them nimble and maneuverable. However lock bumpers with an H2 and...... we will bring your jeep back to you some time later Look out Jeep if the H3 comes out there goes all your sales!
