Re: H3 Towing Help
I'll chirp in with a non technical burst here?..both of my H3?s cry like a baby when I pull a 2 place snowmachine trailer with 2 Skidoo Renegade 800?s on it.
Going up hills is the issue (constant shifting even when holding it in ?3?), on flat ground it?s not an issue with this kind of weight; 500 each with fuel, 800 on the trailer, 500 in people, 100 in gear = ~2400lbs going from sea level to 400? over 80+ miles.
I?m not dogging GM here (for gods sake I have my own mini team Hummer in the driveway), but what I am saying for sure is that the weight I mention above puts unnecessary wear and tear on the tranny for sure in my situation.
When an Alpha shows up on the lot?..one could bet it will get tested with the above hooked to it??

Re: H3 Towing Help
H3 without trailers, up and downshifts like crazy when on two-lane mountain roads.
As for the Alpha, it will have the same transmission.

Re: H3 Towing Help
I've pulled a trailer wieghing about 2800 pounds from Charlotte NC to Orlando FL. Some of the hills was steep 6-7% grade the tranny downshifted into 3rd and hung right there. MY speed slowed down but all in all it pulled better than my old Z71.
