Default Re: SUT or SUV?

With SUV you get more int. hauling space for people and much more roof carrying area with SUV. If You need to carry a few tools they make some nice back area locking tool chest that will cover the complete rear area of SUV. I keep a few small trailers to haul stuff with if I needed it. I had the trailers anyway because with my 1/2 ton Silverado I still ended up using trailers and only kept one cross bed tool box behind cab. I wish I had put a bed level hard cover on and a couple of tool boxs over fender wells in rear. Will do this project also when i do a twin turbo on the Silverado to drag race with or convert a 95 to 99 miata to a small block motor preferably Ford 289HP or 302 so i can use a T-10 top loader tranny in it plus go with a much larger rear axle and beef up the front load carrying for the small V8 and that will be my drag racer. Silverado conversion will be done on a more heavily custom setup for car shows and towing duties if needed.

Well you can plan out how to arange your use setup to make the best choice for what you will use the H2 for. Visiting with other local owners there were many who end up trading the SUT in for SUV for more passenger room because they can solve the hauling problems many ways even if hitting a buddy to borrow his truck.

Think it over well as it is allot of outlay and then decide you are not happy and wish you had gone with the SUT instead of SUV or vice versa. There is so much good to be said about both. My plan is to have one of each because my SUV is now a show rig and I will at some point get an SUT (used) and put twin turbo's on it with one of the covers starting to come out for SUT even though they do not increase passenger room. I will lift it some get a 3/4 ton manual tranny and manual select transfer case out of simlar year Silverado and have all the torque and HP I want to tune into. I plan to make it the show SUV trailer pulling rig and daily driver. SUT will about 2 or 3 years out because i got to pay my Dodge dealer buddy for the new 2008 Challenger when he gets it in. He is supposed to be working a deal to get one first because I'm going to take it around state to show off and promote dealership thus justyfing my dealer cost on the rig which we do not know yet what that will be. It makes for more interesting tax deduction uses since all 3 of the rides would be used to promote business. Anyway my CPA has that figured out but, SUT has to wait because with close shows i can tow Challeneger with SUV since it has mucho HP and torgue with the supercharger.

Well just hoping to give you allot to think about by showing my changing needs for how I could use both H2 models and how you should think it through well and not pull trigger to quick and then realize man i did not think about using my H2 for this reason or that.

Good Luck and Welcome to Forum
