How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?

As far as I'm concerned, the Alpha better have other significant improvements besides V8. If they just offer V8 with bit higher price increase, I might go for the H2 next time.

That cast iron front diff that'll take an elocker is no small upgrade!

Why we don't have an H2:

It's huge. Our trails up here are tight. Yes an H2 can do it but I might as well line-x the entire truck.

The H2 has no 4:1 tcase. On the rocky trails, I really enjoy this feature...alot. It's probably a main reason I like the H3.

It's huge. In town, the H3's really a joy. After driving my Sierra longbed extracab, the H3 is a hoot in the city, reminiscent of our dearly departed Mini Cooper.

Mileage. It's a big difference.

Cost. H2s are very expensive.

But, with the new engine and tranny, we very well might own BOTH!

That inline 5 isn't going anywhere unless (and this is a huge unless) GM starts making overhead valve V8s to get competitive with the others.

Yeah but it has twice the torque. It climbs good in low. Now with the new 6 spd and 6.2 it will climb like a friggin mountain goat! If the H3 Alpha came with the 4:1 that would be sick!

The H3 Alpha WILL be coming with the 4:1 tcase (although the axles get 4.10s) Yeah,it's gonna be a good'un.

I never understood why they didn't give the H2 crowd a 4:1 tcase, with the 6.2 THAT would be sick!!!!

I will bet in the coming years they just might as I think GM wants to keep Hummer competitive.

Are we sure H2 drivers could handle a 4:1 t/case....
