With the winter months fast approaching, it’s time to start pulling out the heavy coats and warm clothing. Snow will soon be falling on the regular, which means a return of those cold mornings shoveling snow to get the car out – unless, of course, you drive a Hummer, as seen in the following short video.
Clocking in at a little over a minute in length, this video (hat tip to Hummer Nation) opens with a city street lined with cars and packed with knee-deep snow. The plow hasn’t cleared anything yet, which means those commuter cars aren’t going anywhere.
Suddenly, a yellow Hummer H2 comes charging up the street, pushing a huge berm of snow in front of it.
“This guy has actually come up almost two blocks,” says the bewildered onlooker shooting the video.
Even though the snow has piled up to the grille of the yellow Hummer, the driver keeps pushing forward, working the engine and tires to shove the white stuff aside.
“Can’t decide if this guy is trying to have fun or do a good deed?” the woman shooting the video wonders.
After backing up and getting some extra momentum, the Hummer hits the snow berm with gusto and plows right through it. One amazed onlooker exclaims “oh my god! Look at that!” as the Hummer charges through.
“I bet he paid $100 in gas!” jokes the woman shooting the video.
Regardless of how much it cost to tank up, the capability of the H2 is clear here. On snowy days when most other vehicles are stuck, the driver in this Hummer simply makes a path and charges through it. Impressive stuff.
Of course, seeing this display of torque and traction makes us think about the all-new 2022 GMC Hummer EV, which swaps the internal combustion powerplant in favor of electric muscle and up to 1,000 horsepower. When the new Hummer finally arrives later next year, we definitely expect to see it conquer equally, if not more challenging conditions.

Just darn lucky they didn’t spin sideways and take out a few cars parked.
That’s nothing my 2001 ram with the off-road package 4.10 gears posi rear end and 360 v8 would eat that Hummer in the snow it’s lifted 3 inches over stock just a beast
Bill…you have obviously never driven an H2…it has 366 cubic inches, air suspension that will raise itself 2″ & it has a stump puller mode that pulls like an ox…I never got stuck in mine 😉
rated the worst off road vehicle of all time. H1 is another story
And by whom?? I’ve driven BOTH. Drove the ORIGINAL Military HMMWV and it is a beast. Owned an H2 and loved it too. Don’t knock it’s capabilities until you have actually driven one.
Ura,jeah.Thoug to Hand!!!🤠😎👍✌️💪😄
Maybe not just lucky, but know haw to drive he
9-year-old video…
There’s always that guy!…A dodge guy! My dodge this, my dodge that! Just drive your dodge man. My H2… Awesome vehicle! If you’re looking for an SUV that gets 55 m.p.g. dont buy 1. If you’re looking for safety and style and great performance H2 rocks it. If you can afford one, you shouldn’t be worried about gas mileage unless you’re making minimum wage. Go buy your tyota!
Hell I have an 2008 H3 HUMMER from the factory I ordered the luxury package. With a 4″ lift kit all the way around. I was in snow so deep last year I couldn’t open my doors. And would Ingauge the 4 wheel low. I walked down the streets like I was in 2″ of snow. No problem, and yes driving skills have a lot to do with it. But my vehicle is unstoppable..very happy with it.
Always at least one idiot with a stupid comment..This time there are more..”one time a Hummer is actually useful” , “probabky used a $100 in gas” , “my dodge….”..
Owning both a Dodge and H2 SUT i will choose the H2 any day of the week over the Dodge in adverse conditions!!!!!! Got to love the peanut gallery having guaranteed never owned an H2 or H1 in their lives making comments that obviously know nothing about the vehicle…….. H2 stock come equipped with diff lockers are all time 4 wheel drive to many creature comforts to list…… my 2005 has more options than my 2018 Larime edition…
Ain’t nothing like a Hummer H2
Lol anyone else hear the supercharger on that??
My old ’66 International Scout with a 90hp 152CI four banger would have easily walked through that.
Without having to back up to get better forward motion.
Used to take her out and plow through 4 foot drifts without slowing down.
My buddy snd I used to hook my toboggan on the bumper and go blasting down the roads in the middle of the night during blizzards.
This was in Erie, PA so we are well aware of what snowstorms are like.
Did the same thing a few years ago in my 2001 CR-V. Real time AWD got the kids to school and wife to work when other vehicles all got stuck.
Did that in Pittsburgh 1992 with my ’90 Isuzu 120hp, 35 inch Wranglers, 4wd,. & 5spd. Snow was so deep it went up the hood over the roof into the bed.
AS A H2 OWNER I CAN SAY THAT IT’S A BEAST SNOW DIRT WHATEVER H2 WILL EAT ANYTHING NP
Tahoe does the same thing
Wide wheel base + agressive tires = traction. Raptors have similar stances. Both excellent on snow.
my hummer h3 can do that and more, never backing up, drop tire pressure, throw rear locker in put in 4 low im walking over that little bit of snow..
During heavy snows that shuts down travel in my rural area, my phone rings constantly for me to rescue folks with my H2. It truly is a beast and loves mud and snow.
Everyone harasses me about my H2, just drove from Cocoa beach Fl to NEW MEXICO, heading to Colorado, owned my H2 five years, when my daughter and our Pit..Ollie are driving we all feel safe, can’t wait 4 snow and hills, never had un 4×4 any lessons 2 help on our journey?
Did the same thing in my 2005 Mazda 3. Snow tires are great. lol
2001 Jeep Wrangler with a straight 6 never gets stuck in snow or mud also a 95 wrangler that was stock went through the blizzard of 96 like a hot knife through butter
Typical fib
My 2013 chevy silverado goes anywhere needed also plowing thru 3 ft of snow is easy im the local tow truck i bring my offroad recovery gear and my 2 winches and im there to get you out of any messy situation.
I’ve done the same thing with my crew cab, long bed, f250 diesel pickup truck. It’s not hard to push through deep snow if you have limited slip, 4×4, snow tires, lift kit and 8,300lbs of weight to hold the tires to the ground. I went over a mile in conditions like that while pheasant hunting in Washington State a few years ago.
I’ve pushed two + feet of show with a 1969 Ltd station wagon years ago with passenger tires.
Never understood why everyone thinks a H2 get poor mileage, no worst than a Suburban w/35s.
