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!
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.
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.
@MysteriousOklahoma , mine is a 06 and it's my everyday driver. Around my area there are a few, not many. But it gets me where I want. And it also made my son's mother, ex-wife#2, mad😁
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.

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.
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.
@@myrrhavm thanks for your reply. The H3 and H2 are no longer made either though! Yet they're not collector vehicles really. Still a great value now while it lasts.
@@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.
I love my FJ. It gets the job done here in the NSW High Country and it's an off road monster. Climbs hills, rock crawls and pushes through 2' of snow. FJ Cruiser - Like Nothing Else!
They have one of the worst off road capability ratings. And also one of the most problematic engines. Probably the worst wanna be looking offroad vehicle out there as well. Who puts chrome on an offroad car?? Thats right... it's not..
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.
Sweden. Split, the h3 is just awsome, the FJ works runs . Looks a little to cutie for me. The milage honestly is equal. Hummers adventure package gives advantages with diff locker. Great riggs both of them
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.
I love the FJs especially for their looks but when it came down to buying a 4X4 I opted for the Nissan Xterra. It can do anything the FJ can do but with four full sized doors and much better visibility it was just the more practical choice.
I have both cars! My H3 is the alpha edition v8. I can tell you h3 is better in off-roading capabilities it just needs lift kit and big offroad tires. Fj requires less maintenance ...
Now that they’ve been out a while and prices have dropped and used ones are plenty, the H3 gets you more bang for your buck...and room, and better gas mileage...looked at the FJ, nice truck, but too toyish looking with not as good of a layout in the interior...went with H3 and I’m more then happy...
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.
You really don't need either of these unless you have to climb rock clifts and pass thru raging streams to go to the store for a loaf of bread. I have an FJ but I really don't need that capability but it feels a little secure that i have it, just in case. That helps justify it. haha! Makes no sense really. I just have always wanted one.
Savage Life not a single problem (other than had to get the air conditioning fixed was a recall so it was free), cheap to take care of, Oil changes are under $50 because it's only a 5 cylinder. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Batman jeep there's 2 listing in my area one with 67k miles for $17k and one with 130k for $10k you think I should drop the extra 7k for lower miles ? Tempted
A 2009 2010 hummer with the locking front and rear differentials will smoke the FJ. And go watch a video of an FJ breaking tie rods. And not to mention you can get a small block V8 in the alpha as well. Get some real world experience offroad with both and you'll choose the hummer.
C'mon Narrator -- slow it down already with all those stats. And pausing and emphasizing makes for a good memorable experience, coz I didn't see a Fire causing you!
Europe is so elitist. Taxes on vehicles and fuel are so high that only rich people drive big cars, the ordinary people can barely afford a Golf. And have big problems when winter comes. Sick!
Es tut mir leid Deutschland aber, i’ve had both vehicles and I will say the H3 is far superior first of all you didn’t mention that you have the VA option and unlike the FJ cruiser, the H3 comes with front rear and center locks with the Fj cruiser only comes with locking differential in the rear and a center lock in wheel drive, plus the A3 can tow a lot more with the V8 options dangä unn Tschüß😊
"The Hummer is military and futuristic". OBJECTION!! The H2 and H3 are NOT military. Only the H1 is! The H2 and H3 are simply GM chassis (Tahao/Suburban) with different sheet metal. The H2 and H3 are manufactured by GM where the H1 was manufactured by AM General.
Actually there are some differences. The H2 and H3 do fallow the military tradition and are true off road vehicles yes the Chassis are the based off the Tahao but is reinforced to make it stronger. Also the H1 was originally made by AM General for like a year but then GM took over hence the Duramax Diesel in it
I don't know anyone who buys an H2/H3 who actually thinks they have any military underpinnings beyond styling cues. The context of the video clearly indicates this is a looks issue, not a fundamental build issue.
A few corrections to this post. The H1 is not military, it was made alongside the HMMWV as a civilian vershion. The H2 was built by Am General with parts from GM, not a Suburban or Tahoe, used a 2500 front end 1500 rear and custom fully boxed ladder type frame in the middle, not from another GM product. M998's and H1's were powered by GM too. The H3 was 100% made by GM. I'd take the H3 over the FJ but a 5 cylinder? They couldn't just make it a straight 6.
Real off-road enthusiasts do not care about resale and will only concern themselves with performance, so this video has little to do with the way the average person would make a decision. The FJ is enticing because of its more reasonable price, regardless of its lesser quality interior. Ultimately stock for stock, the Hummer wins, but no off-road enthusiast keeps these things stock.
FJ cruiser is by far the best offroad vehicle on the market. Bad news is it has been discontinued. Toyota ruled that class of vehicles and abandoned it. Stupid mistake.
Only vehicles allowed on Black bear pass in Colorado is the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota FJ cruiser. To many people have died trying to use any other vehicle.
the hummers a lott of people like them but i dont when i was in the miltary my capt and liut were in a pair of the and i was in a cutv or blazer if you will the two hums got burried in the mud i had to pull them out and then went through where they had been stuck
The Hummer is a bummer. The FJ Cruiser is the bruiser. I don't own either one. It's only meant to be a joke cause it rhymes. I will take my intergalactic Hexachromon 8x8 over these anyday. I just need to find my holographic keys first. Now where did I put those darn keys?
I've driven both and have worked on them both. Fj is much nicer to drive and in my opinion better looking. And when you get underneath them 10 out of 10 times the fj needs much less work as far as leaks and what not go. So from an outside source who doesn't own either of these cars I'd go with the FJ 100% not to mention you get the reliability of a toyota over gm garbage.
The biggest problem i had with the FJ was what they confirmed, the very, very plastic laden interior, it looked hideous and cheap and was scratched to shit because it isnt at all durable. The hummer has a gorgeous interior.
Strictly Off Road, I'd go with older body Wrangler, stick. A dream to drive off road. Has no limmits. Jeep needs to go back to the basic body, with a cast Iron engine, manual gear box and off road suspension

more torque on higher RPMs, that's worse for offroading

Did this Hummer H3 as tested have locking differential, front, rear, of both ?
If the interior shots are the same one they drove, then no lockers on this one they tested.
we also have extended cab trucks, but not one in the hummers because a 4 door has more room than an extended cab
Sweden. Split, the h3 is just awsome, the FJ works runs . Looks a little to cutie for me. The milage honestly is equal.
Hummers adventure package gives advantages with diff locker. Great riggs both of them
i wish you could get more manual controls like for the lock diff in the fj less to go wrong without the electronic crap.
you can buy a unimog Or pinzgauer for about the same price and spin circles around both
What year hummer is that

I'd say the H3 does not need any mod other than the 35 inch tires... It does not need lift....
Yea and I own a lambo
Don abdo my dad has a hummer h3 and its way better to be honest the fj i dont like it
I have two Fjs here in australia and id never buy a piece of shit gm hummer.
I just bought a 2014 FJ and love it, but the H3 is also a great car.
H3 is one of the worst rated offroad capability vehicle.
Samuel Valdes where did you take that rate of off road vehicles?)
I'm keeping my 2006 Hummer H3 I bought new. Still going at 212000 miles. Love it and it's far more beautiful.
I’ve wanted a hummer since I was three so when I got an H3 I fell in love. I’m biased but I can see both are great vehicles.
Now that they’ve been out a while and prices have dropped and used ones are plenty, the H3 gets you more bang for your buck...and room, and better gas mileage...looked at the FJ, nice truck, but too toyish looking with not as good of a layout in the interior...went with H3 and I’m more then happy...
Time has declared the FJ Cruiser the better vehicle.
H3 is only messed by the chrome grill , but that's just visual
My H3 is a beast. So far I've out done Jeep Wranglers. Bring the FJ!

Hummer h3 alpha v8 💔with two lock differential👍👍👍is the best
I test drove both of them on-road, and the FJ cruiser was much more rough than the H3.....I was surprised what this guy was saying.
didnt really notice any hardcore conditions
حقيقه اشجعكم على اخذ سيارة رباعي ..
متوحشه .. اف جي كروزر .. سديم
You really don't need either of these unless you have to climb rock clifts and pass thru raging streams to go to the store for a loaf of bread. I have an FJ but I really don't need that capability but it feels a little secure that i have it, just in case. That helps justify it. haha! Makes no sense really. I just have always wanted one.
1.off road performance→ similar
2.exclusivity and appearance →HAMMER
3.value for cost →FJ
The H3 does come with a V8 in the Alpha trim
It's true, Loved my '06 H3 for a family trail rider but i'll bet the rear wiper and 6 various sensors in the Yota will fail much less often.
I love my FJC!!!!
The hummer cost so much less then the fj now. I have a h3 and a wrangler rubicon and the hummer keeps up just fine.
Batman jeep any problems with the H3 I'm looking to buy one with low miles but people complain about reliability a lot

Batman jeep yeah dude everything in my area especially the used car market is crazy overpriced idk how they make money
I own an FJ vision in the rear and side sucks.The back doors suck as well.I purchased a Xtera and like it better.
A 2009 2010 hummer with the locking front and rear differentials will smoke the FJ. And go watch a video of an FJ breaking tie rods. And not to mention you can get a small block V8 in the alpha as well. Get some real world experience offroad with both and you'll choose the hummer.

FJ All Day!
How's that resale on the H3? LOL. (FJ owner here)
Alpha h3 v8 with diff lock etc is way to go if buying h3
I have these both cars but I like hummer h3 more than thr cruiser
When it comes to these two, I'd take the FJ Cruiser. But on the other hand, I'd take an H2 over the FJ any day.
The mph gauge on the hummer remind me of my 86 toyota pickup truck.
i like this 2 car it so amazing
Es tut mir leid Deutschland aber, i’ve had both vehicles and I will say the H3 is far superior first of all you didn’t mention that you have the VA option and unlike the FJ cruiser, the H3 comes with front rear and center locks with the Fj cruiser only comes with locking differential in the rear and a center lock in wheel drive, plus the A3 can tow a lot more with the V8 options dangä unn Tschüß😊
The fj uses more gas?
Fj cruiser all day
I have to agree with you, FJ Cruisers are (and will always be) the best.
I'd rather be driving the H3, but I'm also in the Army so I'm biased towards Hummers.
Which vehicle would you like to be seen in??? Hummer wins every time !!
Too bad most are in the junkyard 🤣
"The Hummer is military and futuristic". OBJECTION!!
The H2 and H3 are NOT military. Only the H1 is!

A few corrections to this post. The H1 is not military, it was made alongside the HMMWV as a civilian vershion. The H2 was built by Am General with parts from GM, not a Suburban or Tahoe, used a 2500 front end 1500 rear and custom fully boxed ladder type frame in the middle, not from another GM product. M998's and H1's were powered by GM too. The H3 was 100% made by GM. I'd take the H3 over the FJ but a 5 cylinder? They couldn't just make it a straight 6.
Definitely h3 is a solid ride
So many buyers want to buy my 1973 Toyota fj
Lang cruiser
7 years ago they probably never dreamed you could buy two H3’s for the price of one FJ today😅
I'll bet I can climb these steep dirt roads in my humble 8 year old Chrysler Town and Country minivan.
Most GM cars have a horrible resale value. The Toyota will actually hold its value and it would even gain more value.
Real off-road enthusiasts do not care about resale and will only concern themselves with performance, so this video has little to do with the way the average person would make a decision. The FJ is enticing because of its more reasonable price, regardless of its lesser quality interior. Ultimately stock for stock, the Hummer wins, but no off-road enthusiast keeps these things stock.
NAw
no that cruiser is not a match for the Hummer, cause it even can't decide it is "F" or it is "J" :D
FJ rock the house :)
Had a baby Hummer for 15 years. Never been in the shop for a single repair! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, TOYOTA.
FJ cruiser is by far the best offroad vehicle on the market. Bad news is it has been discontinued. Toyota ruled that class of vehicles and abandoned it. Stupid mistake.
I thought it was the 4Runner or LandCruiser...Not an off road guy but just thought the 2 I mentioned were better than the FJ from what I've read.
+penvon FJ is basically a retro styled 4Runner.
Only vehicles allowed on Black bear pass in Colorado is the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota FJ cruiser. To many people have died trying to use any other vehicle.
Yea extremely stupid, now they make all these ugly cars
kevin122759 they got rid of it because they already had the 4runner
Hummer stopped production in 2010. The ones out their are gold and made in USA.
Not true, They both get the same fuel mileage. The hummer may be 1 mpg lower at best.
hummer h3
the hummers a lott of people like them but i dont when i was in the miltary my capt and liut were in a pair of the and i was in a cutv or blazer if you will the two hums got burried in the mud i had to pull them out and then went through where they had been stuck
The Hummer is a bummer. The FJ Cruiser is the bruiser. I don't own either one. It's only meant to be a joke cause it rhymes. I will take my intergalactic Hexachromon 8x8 over these anyday. I just need to find my holographic keys first. Now where did I put those darn keys?
the h3 has the chrome package
I prefer my Hummer H3X Alpha over Toyota anytime weather, and any terrain.
if i wanted a Hummer i'd call your girlfriend hahahahaha
I'll keep my h3 no problems yet and she an 08 runs good in the mud and deep ass snow fj looks cool but not for me
It has the same 5 cylinder of the colorado. Id rather go with fj, in matter fact im getting one soon. He he
I've driven both and have worked on them both. Fj is much nicer to drive and in my opinion better looking. And when you get underneath them 10 out of 10 times the fj needs much less work as far as leaks and what not go. So from an outside source who doesn't own either of these cars I'd go with the FJ 100% not to mention you get the reliability of a toyota over gm garbage.
H3 Baby.
"Typically American...lots of leg room in the back!" Lol this made me laugh
I love hummer h3. I think Its better than fj. I have hummer h3 its very fantastic and it is a off road monster
dude really????? Land Rover Outlander ....../
are u crazy...!!????!!
guess that explains it all
Nothing can beat FJ Cruiser.
Nothing Can Compare To The Good Well Known American Off Roading Muscle HUMMER !!! ;)
The biggest problem i had with the FJ was what they confirmed, the very, very plastic laden interior, it looked hideous and cheap and was scratched to shit because it isnt at all durable. The hummer has a gorgeous interior.
I love my fj.
Strictly Off Road, I'd go with older body Wrangler, stick. A dream to drive off road. Has no limmits.
Jeep needs to go back to the basic body, with a cast Iron engine, manual gear box and off road suspension
how am i stupid? look it up dude, a H3 is on a trailblazer frame and the H2 is on a tahoe frame with the hummer body on them. it is what it is.
why dont they compare the H1 with the FJ
