most likely moving from an h3 to H3 Alpha got some questions
for those of you have done this, what are the advantages (besides the obvious more speed) and the disadvantages? and how much worse is the gas mileage really?

The Alpha is the way to go! I've been getting 14mpg in town and 17 on the highway. The rear locker (2008) is also a big plus!

Re: most likely moving from an h3 to H3 Alpha got some questions
Gas mileage difference minimal, I get about 16 with the V8, got steady 17 with both the I5's I had.
I can imagine that would be different if I kept my foot in it.
Acceleration is nice when you need it, and if you are going to tow anything the V8 power is worth having. Other than that, probably not much more to say.

Re: most likely moving from an h3 to H3 Alpha got some questions
Question about the locker...is it standard in the Alpha... i dont think the one im looking at has the adventure package, so my question is does it have the locker anyway?
as for gas mileage i get about 15.5-16 with my I5 so hearing that ill get about 14-16 sounds great to me

Re: most likely moving from an h3 to H3 Alpha got some questions
I thought the rear locker only came with the adventure package? This is what I have.
The Alpha is great. I had an '06 3.5L and let me tell you, I was scared to get on the interstate as the acceleration was terrible. No more worries with the Alpha. Plus I like its scarcity, not sure of the exact numbers but the number of Alphas sold must be a fraction of the total 3.5/3.7L sales.
Congrats on the good idea!
