Factors Affecting Towing Capacity
Model Year
The Hummer H2 was produced from 2003 to 2009. Newer models generally have updated components, but the fundamental towing capacity remains similar across model years with proper maintenance.
Engine Type
The 6.0L V8 produces 325 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, while the 6.2L V8 (available in later models) offers improved performance with approximately 393 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Transmission
The 4-speed automatic transmission is standard, while the 6-speed automatic provides better gear spacing for towing, especially in hilly terrain.
Axle Ratio
A higher axle ratio (like 4.56:1) provides more torque at the wheels for better towing capability but may reduce fuel efficiency when not towing.
