    I love my H3. It gets the job done here in South Dakota and it's an off road monster. Climbs hills, rock crawls and pushes through 2' of snow. Hummer - Like Nothing Else!

    The H3 comes with 4.56 axles, will take 35's stock, and with an adventure package offers 4:1 t-case, the FJ has its cookies tucked better, has better transmission options, a better engine (more torque, unless compared to the H3 alpha), and a much better aftermarket for lifts/upgrades. Both look great from the outside but have poor visibility from the inside out. Both are available with rear lockers, but the H3 also got a front locker in its last 2 years of production for adventure package models. Aired down with the front sway disconnected they both ride smooth offroad unlike depicted in this video. The H3's stance and heavy anti-sway-bars gives it pretty good on-road handling for a leaf and torsion sprung vehicle but the FJ will ride nicer on road. They both get terrible gas mileage. They are both far nicer to live with than a jeep for everyday driving but jeeps can be built up to be far more capable off road.

    I own the 2007 Hummer H3 adventure... I spend a lot of time off the main roads. The Hummer gives me all I need and a little more when it comes to carrying supplies and gear in the back. I like the FJ, but I needed more than it could offer.

    I owned a 2008 FJ Cruiser for a very long time until it was totaled in an unfortunate accident a few months ago, now I own a 2008 H3 and while I personally prefer the aesthetics of my H3 I will always miss the feel of my old reliable FJ. I haven't had problems with the Hummer yet but I know that the FJ was built to last but I'm not too sure about the H3. RIP to the old FJ and thanks for being there for me for so long.

    I am a toyota rep and unfortunately if they put a wrangler vs fj it would be a more fitting comparison. If you've ever driven an fj cruiser the visability Is terrible, there is no room in the back seat, the ''rear doors'' are useless, but the ride is smooth both on and off road, the power of the hilux derived 4.0 vvti v6 is fantastic, the off road ability is simlar to a 2 door wrangler and the interior is practical. If you get a series 2 then the long range fuel tank is excellent for those of us In Australia with long distance driving. For our market it would be a tuff choice between a diesel wrangler and the fj which unfortunately is only available in petrol auto.

    Ok Motorvision,
    You admit the FJ is better and I agree.
    But you failed to mention that the fj will still be on and off the road for decades,
    while holding a very strong retail value.
    Long after the hummer returns to the term we can relate to, and that will be a stronger competitor than the truck.

    Who’s here in 2019? I love Japanese cars but the FJ has two major issues working against it for me: first is the used pricing today. The FJ is still considerably more expensive to purchase while the H3 is a total steal right now. Second is that the FJ has awkward rear doors, the four regular doors are essential for maneuvering baby in and out the back 👶🏼! Though I understand why Toyota designed the doors that way for that retro 2-door defender styling.

    • @myrrhavm
      @myrrhavm 4 роки тому +1

      Because TOYOTA stopped making them so the nuts have made them collector vehicles now. Most here in California have super high miles because they’re daily freeway fliers never seeing dirt. The real off roaders don’t like them for reasons you stated. Hard to work with when out and about. I watch too many off-road videos. I was watching this video because of an H3 for sale by me fully loaded in excellent shape and again a daily freeway flier just to look good going down the road. Never been off-road and stored in garage for the last 12 years with only 140,000 miles.

      @@BIMMERZEITT . Another seemingly hot off road vehicle is the Lexus GX 470. Sell relatively cheap for what they are and their differential setup. Many ignore them because they don't look tuff. I have no need for a 4x4 except for maybe twice a year when we do a road trip and I find myself trying to get my vehicle where it doesn't belong. Or more like where it can't go without being four wheel drive. I'm no nut, just know capabilty of me and vehicle. Seems anything 4x4 today is hot. I'm just looking for something capable of getting in and out. I like the Jeep Commander to which is also pretty inexpensive and comes very well equiped and capable.

    When you think about it, it's funny that you have to drive around looking for an excuse to climb a hill or go drive through a mud hole. Some even buy add-on's to climb even more rough terrain that you have to look for or travel to but most will never do. If it's a sport i get it but when have you (I) really needed one of these? I've had Toyota RAV's and they're very practical with good gas mileage. Kind of dogs however in the power dept and no personality like the FJ.but very good capable comfortable vehicles with geat gas mileage. You can carry a lot in them too and like the FJ, they have good resale They make sense . This FJ doesn't make sense but i love it.

    I prefer my Hummer H3X Alpha over Toyota anytime weather, and any terrain.
