I still find it amazing that in the age of information and with the proliferation of technology people are still unable to do a bit of research on their own.

I don't wish to be rude, but perhaps you should check out your local Dodge dealership & ask them if the Dodge Ram is a mid-size or full size. Then ask them if the Heavy Duty 3500 Dually Dodge Ram is a mid-size or full size.

Again with the "little" p/u comment? However the H2's MSRP starts at $54,850. I've never purchased a house, but from my HGTV watching I think that's usually less than your typical house.

"He just plowed through everybody else," said Morse, who was uninjured. "He ignored me, hit the extended-cab (truck) and turned and headed down the sidewalk."
The Hummer spun around after striking the second vehicle and then sped west down the eastbound side of DeBarr, she said.
"I couldn't believe it," Morse said.
It seemed even more shocking to Jenette Jemison, a 21-year-old student driving east in her sister's late-model Mazda sedan.
Heading up the hill outside Alaska Regional Hospital, Jemison found the square-nosed, wide-body Hummer -- the civilian version of the military's Humvee -- coming straight for her.
"He was on the sidewalk, and I'm thinking, 'What the hell!' " Jemison said. " 'He's going to turn away.' But he doesn't. He just keeps coming."
Jemison said traffic was heavy and drivers around her were blowing their horns and trying to get out of the way. She squeezed left but not far enough. The Hummer came off the sidewalk and smashed into the Mazda, spinning it into the left lane, where it was hit by a van.
A few car lengths later, the Hummer smashed head-on into a Dodge Ram pickup. "That ended it," Davis said.

I'd say that after hitting 1 van, 1 1/2 ton P/U, a midsize car, and then a HD Dually P/U and the driver survived with only minor injuries the H2 is fairly tough. I never found out what caused the scene, but the police suspected it was due to a medical condition suffered from the driver of the Hummer.
This picture is older than the internet, but for some strange reason peoples blind hatred of the Hummer H2 gets in the way of the facts. You don't have to like them, just don't go around spreading false information.
