Re: H3T...does it have ?
It can't be any worse then our 3's. Mine is anything but a dog...
Of course if and when I get an H3T it will be an Alpha with Off road pkg.

Re: H3T...does it have ?
It's not worse, raced the wife and beat her in a race but she is now claiming she wasn't trying. I drove the H3T Alpha before ordering and it was impressive but not enough for me to justify the cost. I was more than happy with the I5 in the H3 so it wasn't too tough of a decision.

Re: H3T...does it have ?
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply motor was a dog. I meant it was a dog (maybe should have said sled) offroad. The wheelbase is a bit long, but not any worse than other long trucks

Re: H3T...does it have ?
Sorry Tomp, I don't buy it. Nobody in their right mind would put a PowerWagon over an H3T in real offroad situations.
Lets look at some basic stats here and compare, when it comes down to it, the angles of a vehicle are more important than anything else, because if you can't get your tires on the obstacle, you're NOT getting over it.
Wheelbase:
H3T: 134.3
PowerWagon: 140.5
Ground Clearance:
H3T: 10.2
PowerWagon: 8.3
Approach Angle:
H3T: Listed at 38.7, but real number is 45 Degrees (The HUMMER site lists wrong numbers on both the H3 and H3T, they don't measure from the front shackles being flipped upward and they give some "lawyer leeway")
PowerWagon: 35
Departure Angle:
H3T: listed at 30, but again in reality it's 36 Degrees
PowerWagon: 26.5
The Power Wagon can only run a max sized tire of 33, the H3T can run 35's stock. Putting 35's on the H3T will bump that approach angle to around 53 degrees, the minimum ground clearance to well over 11 inches.
The H3T Designers knew what they were doing, and the H3T will outrun a Powerwagon, just put a tall obstacle with a steep angle in front of it and the PowerWagon is dead.

Re: H3T...does it have ?
I'm suprised you all didn't catch this...
BUT
The H3T DOES have REMOVABLE head rests in the rear seats...
Finally got to play with one today...didn't have time to test drive it but am planning to do so next week...

Re: H3T...does it have ?
Doh!! I feel really dumb!! I don't know how I missed that! I didn't have the dealer run me through the truck before I took delivery of it. Who knows what other important features I overlooked.

Re: H3T...does it have ?
...I was looking at more in the area that the PW had the solid front axle and sway bar discos. I see your points though, now that I can see them side by side on paper.
