Re: Go-Kart steering
I think you're the first to have issues with the "tough" steering.
wouldn't it be cheaper to tell your wife to quit  and drive the truck? 
Unless the truck has steering issues or she has a medical condition (than I apologize) she's got some issues. The H3 steering is not hard to turn at all IMO. Even when you air the tires down for off roading. If its that tough to steer, than how does she open the door to get in?  |

No sh*t. I think they might be bird people and have little teeny bird wing arms.  |

Re: Go-Kart steering
Get a steering wheel spinner( suicide knob) JC whitney has a nice one cheap that folds in when not in use,I have one on my 442 .Its good for slide/side spins and donuts.  it has a open clamp so it should fit the H3's fat wheel.

Re: Go-Kart steering
I don't get it. My H3 steers and turns much easier than my old 4runner. And I barely noticed the steering difference between the base and adventure pkg during my test drives.
If it's really that hard to steer, have the dealer check out the power steering before you change out the rack and pinion.
But I'm thinking the real problem is she just doesn't like the H3 (seat height, climbing in, visibility or something) but either won't admit it or doesn't have the heart to tell you. Telling you it's too hard to steer lets her off the hook and doesn't hurt your feelings.

She's used to a 1987 Sedan de Ville with about 40 turns L-L. She likes to be seen in it(H3), probably scared of the low outward visibility. Thanks 442, I'll get one. She'll probably surprise me and eat it up.

Atleast he didn't ask about the "loud" exhaust.

Talking about loud exhaust, I have a small hole in my muffler which don't bother me any... unless, I guess, if you're gingerly with the pedal... in which case, the broken metal flap vibrated real loud "RRRRRRAAAAA"... which my wife thought meant the engine was about to blow-up, when she decided to drive the H2 to the kids' soccer... |

Btw, Roadnotca, the extra thick H3 steering wheel could very well be your wife's problem (causes more hand fatigue). |

Yep, that and never having been taught how to drive, like seat adjustment, S-wheel adjustment. She's the driver you want to stay away from. |

Re: Go-Kart steering
Two days ago I had my other car serviced and they gave me a 2006 Chevy Silverado pickup rental. Super light steering with sloppy ride and handling. But at least you get the steering so light you could use 2 fingers.
