Trade in value of an H3

I wondered about the spare tire on the earlier models after i posted. GOOD POINT! The spare tire is standard being mounted outside since late 04 I believe. So the rear cargo area is more useable in the H2 without in there. With it mounted in there, that thing is a monster. I don't think you have anywhere near as much room as an H3 in the back with it mounted. The center council has more room in the H3 also as long as you don't have the DVD player mounted in there. The glove box in the H2 is larger inside though.

I guess there can be different deffs. of what useable space can say about a truck. We have an H2 and an H3. Love both trucks, but anytime we go off to Home Depot or the lumber yard we take the H2. The design of the H3rear seats not folding flat hinders stackable space in the H3 where the H2 has way more room when it comes to that. now on the flip side, the H3 seat backs stay upright and you can move the seat bottoms forward. This helps us on quite a few occasions also.

I'm wondering what the actual claimed carrying capapcity in sq ft is on both trucks. ???
