Smaller, lighter, better clearence, bigger tires, etc. But honestly how many people are out there running Moab and The Rubicon daily, a handful, maybe. To the wifeys and the occasional mountain explorer or skiier/snowboarder its more about status then capability, and most 4x4s will get the job done. Try running the Little/Old Sluice or Soup Bowl (Rubicon Trail) in a stock H2, not happening. I like H3s and will be buying one, test drove last night, and it will be my first GM vehicle, so just letting everyone know before I get bashed, that I love em, and Im buying one.
