I went through the list today and all were listed as Hummer H1 but the vehicle was only called "Hummer" until 2002 Then it was called "Hummer H1". There are enough changes threw out the years that make it easy enough to distinguish the model year so that they can be sorted out the right way. Of coarse if the movie came out before 2002 it would have to be just "Hummer" I went through all 4 pages and noted the year range and weather or not they are H1s. I made a comment on each page although I maybe should have said something on the forum first.

I saw, and I started to update them according to your comments
I quickly guessed that pre-2002 did not carry the H1 name.

But it was useless to post "this is not an H1, the H1 name didn't appear until 2002 before that the were simply called Hummers." on all - I could just remove H1 from all those with a year <2002

I suppose it's like with the original Range Rover, we used to enter "Classic" in the chassis field until someone pointed out it was only called this at the very end of its long production run.



To you maybe, but I don't know if the rest of us know what those changes were.

Tonkatracker, are you absolutely sure it was 2002 the H1 name was adopted? It's just that the H2 was launched in 2003 which must have been the reason the original Hummer became known as the H1. By the way I'm talking about actual years not "model years" (new model years begin in the autumn of the current year).

according to all the info I could find yes it was 2002 model year that the H1 name was adopted:

For instance this website http://www.h1owner.com/Changes/02changes.html when talking about changes to the 2002 H1 states:

"With the introduction of the H2 in 2002 (2003 model year), the original Hummer now carries H1 badges for the first time."

yes it was quite redundant the reasoning behind it was that I have in the past started commenting on a group of vehicles to be changed and the only ones that were changed we the ones that had an explanation

In such case if you apply the same change to all at the same time, the admin who renames vehicles will remember what you just said few minutes ago
Sometimes it is also that comments are missed.
I hope I did not miss any for the Hummer.

Wait a minute, it says here that the H1 was introduced for the 2003 model year, but in all of your comments you say 2002. Am I missing something here?

No it says the H2 was introduced for the 2003 model year

What would also be good is if we could work out the model names for the AM General HMMWVs, like M998 etc.

I've been looking into that as of late. I'm already familiar with some of the variants. But in reality, MANY different types exist, and some can only be told apart with the most miniscule details. But I have been looking into that
