2005 Hummer H2

The 2005 Hummer H2 remains one of the most recognizable icons of American automotive boldness. Combining a heavy-duty chassis with unmistakable military-inspired styling, the H2 was designed for those who want to dominate both the pavement and the trail. For the 2005 model year, the H2 received a significant power boost and interior refinements that solidified its status as the ultimate luxury SUV.

Performance & Upgraded Powertrain

The standout feature for the 2005 model is the upgraded 6.0L Vortec 6000 V8 engine. Now pushing 325 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, this engine provides the muscle needed to move this nearly 7,000-lb machine with authority.

• Heavy-Duty Transmission: The engine is mated to the 4L65-E 4-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission, built to handle the rigors of towing and high-torque off-road situations.

• Full-Time 4WD: The H2 features a sophisticated Borg-Warner two-speed transfer case with five operating modes, including a locked high and low range for extreme terrain.

• Self-Leveling Suspension: Many 2005 models come equipped with the optional rear air suspension, which automatically adjusts for heavy loads and provides a smoother ride over uneven surfaces.

Unrivaled Off-Road Capability

True to its lineage, the H2 was engineered to go where most SUVs wouldn't dare. It boasts a massive 10 inches of ground clearance.

• Underbody Protection: Thick skid plates protect the oil pan, transmission, and transfer case from rocks and debris.

• Traction Control: The 2005 H2 utilizes a specialized Bosch ABS/TCS system that can apply braking to individual wheels to transfer torque to the tires with the most grip.

• Wading Depth: The H2 is factory-rated to ford up to 20 inches of water, making it a true all-weather, all-terrain beast.

Premium Luxury Interior

While the exterior is rugged, the interior is pure luxury. The 2005 model year saw improvements in materials and ergonomics, making the cabin a comfortable command center.

• Leather & Comfort: Standard dual 8-way power-adjustable heated leather seats with memory settings.

• Bose® Audio: A premium 9-speaker Bose sound system provides concert-quality audio, even over the hum of the massive all-terrain tires.

• Dual-Zone Climate: Independent temperature controls for the driver and passenger ensure comfort in any climate.

• Standard OnStar: For 2005, the H2 included the Gen 6 OnStar system with improved hands-free capabilities and emergency services.
