Sounds like your talkin' about a H2

If you look at the numbers comparing a I6 Envoy to a V8 Envoy Denali, mpg is almost identical.

Not really, the H2 needs an upgrade too. It needs more power because it's heavier'n hell and has the aerodynamics of a billboard. I've read over and over about H2s being upgraded with superchargers and now Dmax engines. Now why would they do that?

They are putting 6.0s in H3s, but I'd bet my hiking boots that they rest of the drivetrain wouldn't survive ten minute with it on the trail.

I read an article in Diesel Power Magazine where a guy put a Cummins in a new Power Wagon. If he seriously offroads it, he's gonna kill axle parts because they simply aren't rated for it.

It's gotta be a package. The H3 is marketed as a serious offroading machine. When people do that, they bust 'em. You can be careful and help out the situation, but the Alpha needs to be built. One look above, and you can see the eagerness for it. I want it. I don't want a heep (won't be getting one either) Don't want to put a Powerwagon on the trails here (toooooo big) I love our H3, it just needs a little upgrade to be perfect.

When/if the H3 V8 Alpha Adventure comes out, there's going to be a LOT of used H3s available so you folks that think they're perfect will be ecstatic!

Ok just get out your checkbook. You guys who just gotta have more power can have it today, providing you are willing to put your money where your mouth is, and in some cases that would be QUITE a WAD of cash.
