HUMMER H2 SUT vs. Dodge Ram 3500 Review

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Dodge over the HUMMER H2 SUT.

Dimensions
The HUMMER H2 SUT's tank is approximately the same size as the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500's, though the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500's is a tad larger. The HUMMER H2 SUT rides lower than the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500, which is a good thing for its center of gravity and ease of access. The H2 SUT fits in smaller parking spaces than the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500. The Dodge Ram Pickup 3500's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the flip side, the HUMMER may give a more agile feel in daily traffic.

Cost
When it comes to MSRP, the Ram Pickup 3500 costs tremendously less than the HUMMER H2 SUT.

Handling
The HUMMER H2 SUT has considerably wider tires than the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500. Remember that wider tires could look and feel better, while narrower tires could provide better handling in deep snow. With its tighter turning radius, the HUMMER H2 SUT is very likely more maneuverable than the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Ram Pickup 3500's engine is a little smaller than the H2 SUT's, but not terribly so. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 isn't much more powerful than the HUMMER H2 SUT.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 offers a bit more head room than the H2 SUT, there really isn't much of a difference. The HUMMER H2 SUT is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 isn't quite as generous as the H2 SUT's. With respect to after-sale protection against corrosion, the H2 SUT has substantially better coverage than the Ram Pickup 3500.
