Hauls it like nothing...

Hummer H2=Tahoe ???? Check your insurance ?? Might not cover you if there would be a problem. Wait for the Dually not worth someones life, I have on question why does your wife have the boat pulling machine??

The h2 frame is not the same as a tahoe. It is a frankenstein frame. The very front end is from a 2500 series and the very rear end of the frame is from the 1500. The middle part of the frame is big box like nothing else. If you know anything about trucks they are something to look at underneith if you get a chance.

used a H2 to pull a 34' SeaVee which weighs major...no problems

The easy answer is, to know what the vehicle is rated to tow and what the trailer and boat wiegh. also consider tongue wieght for each.
I have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee V-8 rated at 6500lbs and I pull a 5500 lbs 23' Powerquest Conquest. The boat looks too big for the jeep but the numbers line up and it drives and stops very good. When all else fails go by the manufactures recommendations that way when it all ends up in court, it's not you looking stupid. |
in the 1970's we used to pull 38 to 40ft v bottoms around miami all the time with K-5 blazers and full size bronco's. just don't drive it like you stole it.

Sold the H2, replaced it with a 650 |
I have a 2006 H2 Limited, and it did not like pulling my Donzi 26 ZX I sold, They are only rated to pull 7,500 Lbs, it is because of thier wheel base and hight, They are terrible vehicles for Towing in my opion, but other then towing it is the best SUV I have ever owned. I have 2 in the last 3 years and would not buy anything else for my Family
