Re: How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?
 
When I first saw the H3, on the road, I wanted it real bad! I spent six months researching it out and deciding what I wanted to incorporate in the truck order.
I'm glad I waited, because my truck was part of the end of '06 production, and being built in March 2006, I believe that my truck got all the corrected issues that were part of the initial production bugs.

That being said, I would buy the Alpha, tomarrow to get the bigger motor, but, after driving the H3 Adventure for a year now; I don't have any complaints about the I5. Sure it doesn't have the faster drop down gear for passing at highway speeds, but I drive it like a truck, so I didn't expect to have it.

Cost is some concern too because, I don't want to take a bath on the '06.

I think waiting for the production to start and watch its progress through the first year is a wiser choice for me.

Besides...
I can keep my '06 and have the original released model with the 3.5 liter motor, original door panels, and no child locks in the rear doors. It's more of a Utilitarian truck whick is exactly what I wanted. Not some soccer mom's Lux leased SUV.

Soccer mom's.

The stock cloth seats are ok but mine are showing pretty bad wear on the driver's side bolster. The seats are a pain on long trips. It's a main reason we take our Denali instead of the H3.

I for one will be glad for the lux interior. Adjustable heated seats are just what the doctor ordered for those long days in the saddle.

Hell, works for me!

I'm a leather fan though. I really like the wheat seats in the H2. I think the piping in the H3 seats is cheesy and too retro looking and a great way to make the seats tear up easier.

Yeah but it has twice the torque. It climbs good in low. Now with the new 6 spd and 6.2 it will climb like a friggin mountain goat! If the H3 Alpha came with the 4:1 that would be sick!

The H3 Alpha WILL be coming with the 4:1 tcase (although the axles get 4.10s) Yeah,it's gonna be a good'un.

I never understood why they didn't give the H2 crowd a 4:1 tcase, with the 6.2 THAT would be sick!!!!
