hi all, i have been lurking around here for about a month...well ever since i decided how much i NEEDED an h3. after a trip to the dealership i was completely sold and have just been reading up on them a bit more and getting my financing worked out. so it looks like i will be picking it up on friday. i just have a quick question about towing. i havent found many topics up recently about it. i have a boat that i will need to get from storage to the boat ramp and was just curious how the h3 towed about 3800 lbs. im sure once i have it i will have more questions. thanks...

I just towed my 23ft. Chapperal about 5 miles to storage and had no problems, I could feel the weight but went better than expected.

that was my same concern as well. I have a 20ft very close to 4500. I told them that this was my only hesitation and they let me take one home over the weekend to tow my boat. It was OK...but I live very close to the boat ramp. I don't think I would take it lets say from TX to OK on a camping trip like I did with my Hemi Ram. None the less I love my H3.

I regularly tow a 4000Lb boat with the H3 but only a couple miles to the ramp. Can feel it on the hill but it does alright.
