HUMMER H2 SUT vs. Dodge Ram 2500 Review

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 over the H2 SUT. There's no clear winner between the HUMMER and the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 regarding hauling capacity. The Ram Pickup 2500 outpulls the HUMMER H2 SUT by a sizeable margin.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the HUMMER H2 SUT and the Dodge are veritable speedsters.

Dimensions
The H2 SUT is a little heavier than the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500. The HUMMER's tank is about the same size as the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500's, though the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500's is somewhat bigger. The H2 SUT rides lower than the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500, which is a good thing for its center of gravity and ease of access. The H2 SUT and the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 compete for the same parking spaces. The HUMMER H2 SUT's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more agile feel in daily traffic than the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500.

Cost
The Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 is tremendously less expensive than the HUMMER H2 SUT when it comes to MSRP.

Handling
The HUMMER has considerably wider tires than the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500. Note that wider tires could improve handling, while narrower tires might provide better handling in deep snow. With its tighter turning circle, the HUMMER H2 SUT is doubtless more maneuverable than the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, remember that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 and the HUMMER H2 SUT have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the HUMMER H2 SUT. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 isn't much more powerful than the HUMMER. The HUMMER has no lessons to learn when it comes to pickup from the Ram Pickup 2500.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 offers a bit more head room than the HUMMER H2 SUT, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The HUMMER is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Ram Pickup 2500.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 isn't quite as generous as the HUMMER H2 SUT's. Regarding warranty against corrosion, the HUMMER H2 SUT has substantially better coverage than the Ram Pickup 2500.
