i need some persuasion!

Okay! I've been on this forum browsing around for a minute. But mostly looking at the H3 section. I'm gonna be home in a couple weeks and I'm dead set on getting a Hummer. Thing is, I've been looking at the H3's. I think they're a lot more nimble in the woods for getting around trees and boulders. Just an opinion. But I hate the fact that Hummer puts a I5 in anything. So I've been looking at the H3 Alpha. But now I'm thinking that if I'm gonna shell out that kinda cash, why not get an H2? So I'm asking for your opinions, why should I get an H2 instead of an H3 Alpha. I'll be heading up to Alaska this October, and I have every intention of doing a lot of offroad exploring, hunting, and fishing. Let me know what you all think!

question?

Does the back seat fold completly flat?

Do all of the H2's have the E-rear locker?

They come factory with 35's, right? Can you go bigger?

sorry,

What changes have been made to the H2 since they started making them in 03'?

I hate to interupt the conversation your having with yourself.... (3 posts, all you....lol)

But... I personally would stick with the H2. No disrespect to anyone that has an H3 but I see guys selling H3's and upgrading to an H2 waaaay more than I've seen the other way.

The H3's are technically better offroad than an H2, I just like the bulk and comfort of the H2. My wife and I test drove an H3 and there were two things I didn't like about it.

Too cramped, too gutless.

The cramped part is a personal opinion... I'm just used to an H2. The newer H3's (the Alpha's) come with a V8 so that may take care of the gutless part.

Test drive one of each and you'll make your own decision soon enough. With the way the economy is, you can pick up an H2 very reasonably.

Good luck, let us know which way you go.

PS. And if anyone hasn't thanked you lately for serving our country.

hi there have you thought about one of those suzuki vitaras ,,,there really nimble ,,who knows you might be able to swing through those trees.

I had an '06 H3 and moved up to the H2 because I liked the increased carrying capacity, it's abilities in the mud and snow, the quietness of the interior, the comfort, and the big V8 with its power. I'm 6 ft 5 and I found the H3 a little on the tight side during long drives and hit my head on the ceiling a few times offroading. The only drawback is that the H2 is a little wide on some of the trails around here, but the H2 does everything my 3 did offroad and little more to boot. They both cost about the same to insure and the 2 gets about 3 mpg less mileage than the H3. Drive both and make up your mind.

Unless you get the H3 Alpha, you're looking at front differential problems, and you don't want that in Alaska. The H2 looks infintely better and has a better Cool factor

Too cramped, too gutless. Agree. Can't even fit a bicycle inside to take the kids friend home.
