HUMMER H2 SUT
This variant of H2 offers added functionality and versatility. The passenger and cargo areas of the SUT can be configured for a variety of needs. When the vehicle needs to carry passengers in the rear seat as a conventional SUV would, the bulkhead (called the Mid-gate) at the rear of the passenger compartment remains upright, still providing a rear bed with more than 30 cubic feet (850L) of cargo space. However, when more cargo space is desired, the rear window can be powered into the Mid-gate, and the Mid-gate and rear seat can be folded forward to allow access into the now-expanded 122-cm by 244-cm (4-foot by 6-foot) pickup bed. An express-down feature drops all vertical side windows and rear glass. An expansive sunroof gives passengers an open-air feel.

Muscat, Oman – With their rugged good looks and incredible off-road capabilities, the HUMMER H2 and H2 SUT have brought a whole new level of capability and flexibility to the Oman SUV market.

 H2's power is derived from the standard Vortec 6.0L V8 that generates 325 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 365 lb.-ft. of torque (495 Nm) at 4000 rpm. The engine is mated to a heavy-duty Hydra-Matic 4L65 four-speed rear-wheel drive electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission. H2 also features a standard, powertrain-integrated Borg-Warner two-speed electrically controlled full-time 4WD system. It's capable of further reducing H2's gear ratios for highly controlled obstacle climbing.

 Other changes for all 2007 H2 models include an optional rear-vision camera system and a new rear-seat DVD system with dual headrest-mounted viewing screens.  The rear-vision system features a 3.5-inch full-colour display housed in the rearview mirror, which receives its picture from a universal rear mounted camera. When the vehicle is put into Reverse, the video display automatically deploys from the side of the mirror, providing the driver an image of the area behind the vehicle both day and night. The display is in the driver’s natural line of sight, and the slide-out display won’t compromise a driver’s traditional field of view or create distracting glare. The screen then retracts back into the mirror when the vehicle is shifted out of Reverse.

Every H2 starts with a fully welded ladder-type frame that features a modular, three-piece design incorporating a number of hydro-formed components. The result is outstanding strength, stiffness and dimensional accuracy. Ensuring on-road ride comfort and control, as well as off-road capability, is H2's standard independent front torsion bar and five-link coil spring rear suspension. The solid rear axle ensures durable sure-footedness, particularly in tight, off-road situations. A self-levelling rear air spring suspension system is available for severe off-road and towing requirements.

The H2 and H2 SUT have short overhangs for radical approach and departure angles and exceptional ground clearance for minimal impact on trails. The 17-inch wheels, heavy-duty independent front suspension and five-link rear suspension provide superior handling, carrying and towing capability.

 A Bosch four-channel anti-lock braking/traction control system (ABS/TCS) provides optimum control on slippery surfaces. In addition, the ABS can detect and adjust its braking capabilities to rough off-road surfaces like gravel and potholes. The TCS also includes the ability to gain traction through a single wheel, if necessary, and more wheel slip in a second traction control mode for sand and desert racing conditions.

 Daring and attention-getting is how the H2’s exterior design is often described. The H2 and H2 SUT are instantly recognizable as belonging to a highly exclusive brand at the top of its class in off-road performance. The look and feel conveys the sense of power, authority and complete control that buyers seek.

 H2’s square-shaped body and upright windshield and windows combine to create significant interior room. The vertical glass opens up a broader front and wider side view. In a nod to the functional aspect of design, exposed components, like hood lift handles, hood latches and fasteners; give H2’s appearance an individually component-assembled quality. Exposed components and mechanical elements are functional and convey ruggedness.

 H2's rugged exterior gives way to a luxurious interior. It begins with standard leather seats with eight-way power adjustment for the front seat cushions and backs. Also standard is a memory feature for the driver’s seat that allows two drivers to select and set their preferred positions. For maximum flexibility, the second-row seats can be individually folded. With the SUV, a single-passenger seat is available for the third row, giving the SUV six-passenger capacity.

 Like its brother, the H2 SUV, the SUT carries passengers and cargo with comfort and ease. With four passengers on board, the bulkhead at the rear of the SUT’s passenger compartment remains upright, still providing ample cargo-carrying capacity. When cargo requires more space, a 4-foot by 6-foot (122-cm by 244-cm) pickup bed can be created by powering the rear window into the Midgate, then folding forward the Midgate and rear seat.

 Practicality aside, there’s a side to the H2 SUT that’s just plain fun. At the push of a single button, the driver can lower all four side windows and the rear window. Using a separate switch, the standard sunroof can also be opened, giving SUT a truly open-air feeling.

 Of course, the H2 SUT is an H2 at heart, and the H2 is every bit the SUV that first captured the market’s fancy in 2002. It’s also a HUMMER first and foremost. That means it's capable of travelling through streams 20 inches (508 mm) deep, climbing 16-inch (406-mm) steps and rocks, paddling through deep sand and outdistancing competitors in high-speed desert runs.

 The beauty of a HUMMER is the ability to go pretty much anywhere. And on road it’s not a problem if the driver is unsure of how to get there, thanks to the available Navigation Radio. With the push of a button, the navigation operation will instantly map routes with 2-D and 3-D full-colour map views on a 5.8-inch (147-mm) display screen, making navigation on highways and streets effortless.

 H2 safety, comfort and convenience features include standard frontal air bags; four-way adjustable headrests, arm rests and seat-mounted lap-shoulder belts for front passengers; lap and C pillar-mounted shoulder belts for second-row outboard passengers and a seat-mounted lap-shoulder belt for the centre passenger; and a seat-mounted lap-shoulder belt and adjustable headrest for the optional third-row seat.
