H3 vs. LR3 V6

[JeffW]

Steve,

Greatly appreciate your feedback (along with everyone else's).

I think I would install one of those visor mounted rear-view cameras for either the H3 or the LR3, to solve the rear visibility problem. Glad to hear visibility elsewhere is minimally impacted.

The LR3 is actually 5700 lbs. - 1000 lbs. heavier than the H3, but the mileage and 0-60 times are the same. LR3 actually clocks in a little faster at 10.5 s. Very surprising. I think it might be due to the greater torque and the 6-spd gearing.

I also get a discount through Ford (X-plan), which makes it all the more difficult.
