adventurer or luxury?

[backwoods]

how would ik what model three i have? help anyone?

 

[deserth3]

Luxury has leather electric seats and NAV radio.
Adventure has a rear locker. Easiest way to tell is if there's a locker button in the row of buttons just above the radio. That base has a long botton on the passenger side which disables traction control. On the adventure button row this botton will be the same width as the 4 hi and lowbuttons on the laft side.

You can have both Adventure and Luxury in the same truck too. And as Desert said, just look for the locker button on the right side of the 4x4 controls.

Post some interior pics and we can figure it out quick!

 

[DJinCO]

I always look for the photo of the 4x4 controls to see if the "for sale" HUMMER is an adventure. Many times the seller does not know, or thinks that "adventure" is standard.

I always look for the locker on 4x4 switch cluster when looking for an Adventure Package. There are plenty of H3's out there with oversized aftermarket tires and even adventures with stock base 265/75R16 Goodyear Wranger RT/S. Is there a 2nd button next to the StabiliTrak switch on the 4x4 switch cluster? Should have a picture of a rear diff with an X in the center. Like others have stated, you can have both an adventure and luxury package.

^^^ All of thee above! lol

:wink: As everyone else said, look for the locker button and you can also have leather seats in the luxury package.

Did I read that right? 06 Adventure always has the Monsoon?

 

[elripster]

Not sure if this was mentioned but the 09 and 10 model adventures had locking FRONT and rear differentials as well as the cast iron front differential housing.

Edit, it was in Mutaint's post.

I see it mentioned a couple times above that the Lux has chrome. At least in '08, that's not true.

 

[backwoods]

unfortunately mine is not at adventurer only has stability control on the right...i do have full leather and monsoon stereo only chrome she has is the grille... bummer....

 

[cgalpha08]

Dont be sad!! now you have something to build up. You can upgrade the transfer case to the one the adventure models come with. You could also then get a rear locker, possibly a front one. Make it more then an adventure!!

 

[06 H3]

Dont get bummed out! You have heated seats

My 06 is a lux non adv. I am slowly making it an adv package. I got the rear locker, next is T-case then a front locker

Sounds like the Lux model to me. Chrome doesn't mean all that much in determining which model, you can get a chrome package on the non-Lux version. My '07 Adventure had extra stuff like the Monsoon stereo, sunroof, and chrome package but was not the Lux (cloth seats). Then there are people like me that want to swap out or black out all the exterior chrome which is what I'm guessing happened with yours. Leather seats could be swapped in, but I always look for the locker switch(es) to see if it's Adventure package and leather seats to see if it's the Lux package. Everything else is either options or easily swapped.

Really though, the H3 is plenty capable even without the Adventure package. You'll still be able to go most places an H3 with locker(s) can go, even if some of the tougher obstacles are a bit more difficult. If you really push it you may need some help from your locked friends but 4lo with traction control is decent. I had years of fun wheeling open diff, no traction control jeeps. As mentioned, you can always add lockers and the 4:1 TC if you really want to, but there is absolutely no reason you can't wheel and have a great time in a base/Lux.

 

[backwoods]

where do you find the lockers?

 

[3Hummers]

Button on the right hand side at the top of the center control panel. Post a picture of the center of the dash stack above the radio and we will tell you.

 

[08H3]

Don't get bummed with having a base. I went through the same thing with front locker envy. Just got my '08 and then the '09's came out with the front locker. The H3 in any configuration is very capable.

 

[3Hummers]

Alex has pushed his unlocked base all over Moab and many of the tougher trails in SoCal and AZ. Even the base models are extremely capable trucks.

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

where do you find the lockers?

ARB and Eaton both make selectable lockers for the H3

 

[SGT-Wright]

I drove my 2009 base/lux through most of the Rubicon trail with not much problem. Of course I did not drive over the 3' boulders in one of the sluse box trails, but I still made the trail. Even passed a few stuck or broken Jeeps along the way...

 

[MUTAINT]

Did I read that right? 06 Adventure always has the Monsoon?

Sorry, the 06 did not have the Monsoon as a feature of the Adventure package. 07-10 did. Oops!:emb:

I see it mentioned a couple times above that the Lux has chrome. At least in '08, that's not true.

I looked thru the dealer info cards again and the H3x has the chrome package as standard. Oops! :emb:


It is an ever evolving list. I went by the 06-09 dealer info cards from Lynch HUMMER and the info I have gathered from forums dedicated to HUMMERs. I have modified my master list to reflect these changes!:thumbs:

 

[3Hummers]

Mutaint thanks for working on this. As has been discussed on numerous forums, there are multiple sources of information, all of them good and they sometimes conflict with each other. All we can do is keep trying to verify and correct as needed. The list is better today than it was yesterday so we made progress.

 

[cbetts]

:agree:

Thanks Mutaint! I wasn't sure so I had to ask. One day I may be looking for another Hummer and some ads just don't give enough info to determine what is in the truck. Your list will certainly come in handy for me in the future.
