If you have not yet seen the Hummer golf cart models that are available online, do yourself a favor and go look. Even if you know you cannot afford one, go look anyway. These vehicles are simply awesome and when it comes to imitating their big brothers, they truly do pull it off. In fact, of the several luxury golf cart models that available, the Hummer golf cart is perhaps the most accurate when it comes to replicating the original.
When you do your online search, you will find a lot of different model set ups or configurations. The name Hummer golf cart is actually a bit misleading because these vehicles have been customized for a number of uses besides being used on the golf course. This is not to imply that a lot of golfers have not bought these vehicles because they have, but other uses are also popular.
For example, one of the uses that seem to be popular with the Hummer golf cart is transportation within closed communities. You all know what these communities are like. They allow residents to use smaller gas or battery powered vehicles to get around the community. The old idea that these are mostly senior citizens is wrong. People of all ages are using these smaller vehicles are their main means of conveyance in closed communities. For some of these people, the Hummer golf cart is the vehicle of choice.
You can also find the Hummer golf cart being used in hotel and resort settings where guests are carried from one place to another by the staff. One would have to say that using this particular make of vehicle would certainly catch the attention of any guest who gets into one.
A couple of reasons hotels and resorts use this particular make, over and above it unique look, is its high quality standards. These are truly luxury golf carts, and there is little one can say to disprove that fact. But they are also versatile and rugged. They can carry up to six passengers in some configurations, and they can also haul a lot of cargo which is all but mandatory for vehicles that are used in this capacity. Read the rest of this entry »
Highlights of HUMMER H3
Posted by in Car Collection, Hummer on July 4, 2011
Since 1992, a civilian model of the Army’s High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) – also known as the HUMVEE – was created, and the HUMMER M998 was born. After a decade of production, the HUMMER H2 was introduced in 2001 as the next stage of evolution of the first HUMMER or H1. And in the second quarter of 2005, the HUMMER evolved again, as the H3.
You may wonder what the differences are between HUMMER H3 and its first two incarnations. For starters, the H3 is has a Vortec 3.5L inline cylinder engine that can give 220 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 225 lb.-ft. of torque at 2800 rpm. The HUMMER H3 gets approximately 20 MPG and comes with either a manual or an automatic transmission — the first time buyers have had a choice.
The HUMMER H3 also has 4-wheel drive with a fully locking rear differential. Underbody shielding, traction control, and GM’s StabiliTrak vehicle-stability enhancement system make it even more reliable and safe. The new HUMMER H3 can make it through 16 inches of water that’s flowing at 20 mph, or 24 inches of water running 5 mph. GM also claims the HUMMER H3 will climb 16-inch steps and rocks, and offers two kinds of tires – a Bridgestone 33-inch tire or a Goodyear 32-inch, all-terrain tire.
Then there are the optional interior features – heated leather seats, front bucket seats and 60/40 split rear seats, an electric sliding sunroof, DVD-based navigation radio, four audio systems compatible with GM’s OnStar system and the XM satellite radio, power windows and door locks with lockout protection, an electric rear window defogger, outside power-adjustable manual folding rearview mirrors, a self-dimming rearview mirror with compass and outside temperature indicator, and three 12-volt, covered auxiliary power outlets, two located in front and one in the cargo area.
HUMMER H3′s 4-wheel drive system is the Borg-Warner two-speed, electrically controlled, full-time 4-wheel drive system with a 2.64:1 ratio of low-range gear reduction; there’s also an alternate version with a 4.03:1 ratio for the ultimate control on obstacle-climbing. Both versions have many operating modes for all driving situations.
The HUMMER H3 has more off-road capabilities than the H1 and H2, with a 37-foot turning cycle, 9.1-inch ground clearance, a 25-degree maximum breakover angle when 33-inch tires are used, a maximum approach angle of 40 degrees and a maximum departure angle of 37 degrees.
When it comes to frame and suspension, the HUMMER H3 has a modular three-piece frame for enhanced strength. The front is an independent torsion bar suspension, same as the rear, which uses semi-elliptical leaf springs. Standard equipment includes skid plates for protection of the steering links, and HUMMER offers optional chassis-bottled rocker panel protectors. Read the rest of this entry »
