Hummer HX - Tougher Than the Rest
Written by steven on February 27, 2008 – 1:22 pm -If you laugh at Jeeps, mock Landrovers and have been unimpressed with the latest Hummer SUVs, you may be in for a treat. The Hummer HX is the most sporty, ruggedly bad-ass Hummer ever. Unfortunately its still a concept, but we’re pretty sure its going into production. The Hummer HX Concept has full-time 4WD, 35-inch tires (gulp, we’d need a ladder to get into it), advanced front suspension, and sippin’ on E85 FlexFuel with a 3.6L SIDI V-6.
Like less expensive rival Jeep, which we do not disrespect at all when it comes to off-trail SUVs, the Hummer HX has removable roof panels, doors, fender flares and a modular rear roof assembly that can be removed so that you’re left with a true SUV convertible.
Our only concern is the FJ-like height seat to roof - judging only by the pics, it seems quite short, yet the 35-inch tires are quite tall. We’re guessing a short guy is best, but he’d look like a dork climbing into this thing, yet a tall guy might slip easily into the seat but be annoyed with the low, sporty ceiling height. Does that make it a dud for you or is this Hummer HX an ill whip?
