I pull my wrangler to a dry lake about 50 miles each way, you can hardly tell it is back there. As for power it has plenty for me. I drive a 4x4 Expedition every day for work and it has more power, but I would still rather drive the Hummer.

The H3 has plenty adequate power for most drivers. The only time I feel power deprived is going up long grades on the interstate. In traffic, its response is similar to most sedans.
How come no one (i.e, reviewers) bitches about the Jeep Wrangler's lack of power yet the H3 is a vastly better all-around 4x4. Unlike a Jeep, you can drive an H3 in perfect comfort all day at 80, and around town it drives beautifully. Precise and tight. I wouldn't want to take any of the commonly mentioned competition on a 500 mile trip, but the H3 is fantastically comfortable (and quiet) on a long haul.

I agree with all that has been said about the H3 engine. Both good and bad. On a long up grade you will notice a drop off in power. That's about it though. Passing in 1st, 2nd, even 3rd gear is fast. Almost faster than expected. Good thing the brakes are awesome!
But once you take this truck out for a drive - well, none of the issues really matter. Because you will soon realize what its like being behind the wheel and in control of a Hummer!!
Nothing like it!!

The most I would be hauling is a motorcycle. I realize it is a truck but I have driven some SUV's that didn't have enough power to get out of their own way.... The closest Hummer dealer is 1 hour away. I need to just make a point to get up there one weekend and drive one.
Thanks for your input!

No Power problems here either. Sure more power would be nice although I am happy with what it has
