Flat tow and H-3? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Can any model of H-3 (manual or auto) be flat towed behind a coach without removing drivelines?

Apologies for non tech question but I want a tow vehicle thats not a jeep and like the H-3.

Thanks Andy

I'd imagine it's like any other hummer, just put the transfer case and transmission in neutral and you're good to go.

I can't speak for the H3, but I know that works for towing the H1/HMMWV

Using the transfercase neutral setting you can flat tow and HUMMER. The H3 is great because you can use the tow hook mount point to attach you tow bar brackets.

Great thanks for the info. Its looking like a used 06 or 07 hummer will fit the bill. I know they are heavier than a Jeep JK but the road manners of the hummer and its utility make up for that. Currently I tow a heavily modified Land Rover behind it but want something a little newer and less leaky lol
