Our H3 has done well.
I flog the krap out of it. I have to, we live in the mountains and I pass people every day, they won't pull over. I mean I REALLY flog it. I drive 45 miles each way and going home is all uphill. I'm used to a lot of power on the other vehicles we have so I don't like taking an extra ten minutes to get home. It's constantly in third gear way up in the RPMs. The only problem we've had is a code flashing Serv 4WD. It's the wiring for the rear locker and our Hummer dealer is fantastic. Hell, anytime you get a Cadillac STS for a loaner, it's a pretty cool deal (great car by the way but it's still a CAR)
My way of thinking is that the engine's a pretty good one. I've never whooped up on an engine so hard. I feed it synthetic oil to keep it happy, everything else considered I'd expect that if anyone here's engine would fail on them, it'd be ours.
Yeah, there's a few things I'd change on the Hummer but calling it a POS is not what I've found to be true.
About getting an XTerra, go side hill it for us all, take lots of pictures of the roll over.
