The H1 was designed for military use, so it had to be built to something like a 5/4 ton rating. Yes, they are heavy, cumbersome, slow amongst other things, but they do well off road. And they only have 11 inches of ground clearance under the lower control arm, a rather important piece that you would miss if it were crushed by a rock. In stock trim, it will perform most other SUVs in off road situations (keyword STOCK). The H2 is merely evolution. There was a high demend for a more civilized Hummer, also with a more affordable price tag. GM filled the gap with the H2. The H2 is plenty capable off road, probably just as much as the H1, not to mention the fact that it has more wheel travel thanks to the solid axle rear.
